Most brands make orthodontic pacifiers now too
We were so set against them until, um day 3 home and he was screaming the place down so I dug through the baby shower things that we got but didn't know if we'd use box... soothie was his best friend and mine until he got the bottle feeds whilst I was in hospital then he didn't like the shape and we gave him Nuk's and they stay in when he sucks them (he got lazy with the soothie and it'd fall out of his mouth easily and he'd go back to screaming lol)
He only has the pacifiers when he's screaming for food in the early hours of the morning and when he won't settle for sleep, when he's drifting off to sleep you hear a 'pop' and he cutely spits it out. now that he's playing with his hands and sticking them in his mouth he sometimes won't take the pacifier unless he really needs it.
And I'm sorry I have been slacking posting in here, I barely get time to do chores between feeds/changes/fussy times. My computer time seems to end up being short and when I'm so tired or am skyping my parents with Aiden so we're distracted. Having my phone on me to check FB is such a cop-out but at least I manage to keep up on there with those that are in our monkeys group
Now for Aiden, he's doing well, we put him in his own room for the first time last night and it went well. not so much for daytime naps where he stared out at everything.
He turned 8 weeks old today, he's been cooing up a storm and mimicking us with his coos, especially 'Hello' and 'Love you's'. Still hates tummy time with a passion, refuses to hold his head up whilst laying on his mat or boppy, but if he's laying on you he will lift it perfectly (little brat LOL). He LOVES to be held up on our chest so that he looks up over our shoulders and is fascinated by the fridge and will scream at you if you try to support his head too much as he has good control and must think we're belittling him thinking he needs help haha. Will smile and grin at hubby and I, and sticks his tongue out at you when we do it to him but weary of others he doesn't see as much trying to coax a smile or anything out of him, they get huge frowns. Hmm not sure what else off the top of my sleepy head apart from holy explosive diapers! well they would be if the diapers were on looser, he's extremely happy with himself after a dirty diaper and it's the easiest way to tell before the smell hits you that he's needing to be changed
Some pics of him over the past month, I love his 1 month old photo (in the black saucer chair), he posed that way himself, so funny, we call it his "draw me like one of your french girls" pose hehe
