It's Gone!!

Do you see what I see? What I see when I look at this picture is really what I don't see. Can you tell what's missing?

Can't figure it out? Compare it with this one taken about a month ago .
Now can you see what's missing?

Did you guess the purple and blue hippo float? If you did, you're wrong. :-) If you guessed the paci, then you're right!

Today marks one week that Collin has been without his paci!!

I'm a little sad about getting rid of the paci. After all, it's just one more clear indication that my baby boy is getting older, but it really is for the best. He had started to have an attitude about it so we decided it was time for it to go. We didn't try any games or tricks or fun things to get rid of the paci; we just took it away. Thankfully, it went much better than expected. He cried for a few minutes the first night, but he did all right after that. It shouldn't have surprised us that the most comforting thing to Collin has been that Thomas does not need a paci, so Collin doesn't need one either.

Doll Baby

I took a few (dozen) pictures of Jenna the other day. I only got 2 or 3 in which she's looking forward and smiling and not blocking her face with something or in some weird pose, but many of the others display her personality so well. I couldn't decide which ones to post, so I made a video of all my favorites. Enjoy!
