And the journey begins...

Tuesday night, June 7, was night 1 of no pacifier to get Adalyn to sleep. We knew we needed to start weaning her from it before Landon arrives, but I seriously think we liked it more than her. ha. She was very dependent on the paci, or "fi fi" as she calls it, for her naps and bedtime. She would bring us a blanket with her paci in her mouth and say night night when she was tired. Or, if she was having a melt down, we'd stick that thing in her mouth, and there you have it-peace and quiet. I dont see how sucking on something will completely soothe babies but it sure does and thank goodness! So, today is Saturday, June 11, and tonight will be night 5 of no paci! She has 2 pacifiers, a purple soothie that she has been attached to since birth, and a blue paci we got her around 6 months old. The purple was the newborn size, blue was like 6 month plus or something like that. She never took to the blue one, she preferred the purple b/c its smaller and a bit thinner. So, to start off slowly, we have been putting her to sleep the past 4 nights with no paci, but placing the blue one in her crib once Adam layed her down. As soon as I get her in the mornings, I take it from her. Also for her naps, no paci! At times she will repeat "fi fi" over and over and then we just sing or something to get her mind off of it. So I think we are on the right track with weaning her pacifier. Like I said, i think we wanted her to have it more than she did for sanity reasons, but we must get over that, right? lol. So, it's almost been a week so we have to keep on keeping on! =) Wish Adam and I luck!
