Weaning off the paci's

As if we haven't had enough drama, we are now weaning the kiddos off the paci's.

For Kaleb, his pediatric dentist recommended it for his broken teeth (which are being fixed in a few weeks). The pediatrician also said we had to do it before he was 2, or he would get roller coaster teeth. Doesn't sound pretty so we're doing it.

He has had it pretty rough, nothing seems to soothe him in it's place. I sometimes rock him until he is snoring but then as soon as I lay him in his crib he starts wailing again. Some days have been better than others, but we've gone 4 1/2 days so hopefully we don't have much longer.

We also decided to go ahead and work on Kelby...going to have to do it eventually so we don't see any need to prolong it. She did great the first night but has been struggling today with naps. She still has to be swaddled to get to sleep, but I unwrapped one arm and gave her her favorite pink bunny from Nana so that seemed to work for one of the naps.

No one ever said parenting was supposed to be easy right??!!

We also stopped giving Kelby rice cereal for now. She just never really came around so I guess she's not ready. She did however roll over again yesterday though so we are very proud of her!! Of course Lou and I were in the kitchen so we missed it. She started fussing and I could just tell by the way it sounded she was on her belly so I ran over and sure enough!

Here's some recent pix...

Doesn't this picture look like I posed it?? I almost died when I went in to peak and she had her arm around the bunny!
