I know I am going over board with this but as I was nursing my son last night and he was cuddling with his doggie, I thought of a few more... Identical Lovey - Once your child has clearly established a lovey, get a second one exactly the same. It makes switching them out for washing so much easier and if your child is sick and throws up all over Lovey #1, you can "pretend" to quickly clean it and swap it out with the ready-and-waiting clean Lovey #2. We actually have 3 of my son's doggie - one is permanently in the car, one in his room and the last stays hidden in a closet for "back up". Cold Soothie Paci for Teething - We used this type of paci only for a very short time when my kids were newborns, then we switched to a Avent kind that is less likely to fall out... anyway, I kept this kind and figured out these are great when kids are teething. Put them in the freezer and they get nice and cold but not too hard like ice. Since the whole thing is that rubber...
JJ is 3 months old (as of Friday)!Looking back at pictures, I can't believe how much he has already changed and grown because I just don't see it day-to-day. Actually, the same goes for Marie too but those changes are more subtle. So an update on the little guy...he is pensive like his sister but he also loves to smile and coo. If anyone starts to interact and smile at him, he turns on the charm big time. He is starting to bat and grab toys and rattles. And he is always watching Marie, (who is in constant motion) in part, because she is so entertaining and in part because he is probably a little scared of what she is going to do next and/or perhaps afraid he'll get stepped on.
Oh - the other thing I was going to say about JJ is that he is a great sleeper! He goes to bed at the same time as Marie (more or less 7:30) and wakes up between 7 and 8 in the morning - pretty much the same schedule Marie is on. It is sweet. I can even get them to nap at the same time in the afternoon three or four times a week! Thank you Lord.
