*She started waking up every 20 minutes at night (or at least it felt like it!) for her deedee (pacifier) so last night and tonight I swaddled her up, rocked her for a minute, put her in her crib with her deedee in her mouth and then walked out. Once the deedee fell out, she talked and screeched for about 5 minutes, cried for 15 and then fell sound asleep. Last night she woke up a time or two and fussed, but I didn't go in and she fell right back to sleep on her own. I'll do the same tonight. Now the question is, do we get rid of the deedees completely? She only uses them to sleep. Do we let her cry it out at nap time too? Apparently things get easier with the second kid. As she cried for the 15 minutes, instead of agonizing over our choice... I just turned the tv up louder. Hmmm.... what does that mean?!
*Tomorrow the kids will join me at school for the Halloween Parade. I'll put pictures up this weekend. We carved our pumpkin tonight. Only Jack has a carved one, we're too tired to carve one for each of us. How sad is that?? Jack absolutely would not touch the "seeds and guts" of the pumpkins. He was also the only kid at the pumpkin patch 2 weekends ago who spent the entire time searching the field for a "clean punkin". He was not happy with the level of dirt found on the pumpkins! What a wimp!
*Brandon took both kids to the pediatrician last week. Emma is 17 pounds at 4 months. We're waiting till closer to 6 months to start solid food. Fine by me, she'll be my baby that much longer! Jack got his flu shot- only a few tears!
*My mom, Emma, and I made the trip to North Carolina last weekend. We had a fantastic time at the wedding. Congrats to Becky and Joe! We also met new friends, hello to the Coronel Family! Glad you found the blog!
Much more this weekend... I'm off to bed!
