paci

Well, I've gone back to letting Avery have her pacifier. For about 3 weeks Ave would wake 3-5 times in the night (cry out once or twice) and go right back to sleep. this made for some restless nights not just for her but for me as well. A couple nights ago, I put her to bed and she cried for awhile, after about 20 minutes I went in and gave her the paci. Of course she went right to sleep and slept all night (till 8am) without a peep from her! So, I've given in (partly for my own sanity) and she can again have the pacifier for naps and at night. during the day she only gets it if i've kept her out past naptime or she is in the car, and I still try to get her to go to sleep on her own. We have also started placing paci's in her crib so if she does lose it in the middle of the night she can find one and plug herself back up!! :) This was something my mother did with me when i was a baby. funny how history repeats itself. so the other day i put her down for a nap, she fell asleep with one paci in hand and one in her mouth;

thats my daughter!

i love watching her sleep
