Life Without the "Paci"

Mommy and Daddy did the unthinkable 2 weeks ago...we took away Caroline's pacifier. For the past 15 months Caroline and her "paci" or "sucky" have been best friends and were inseparable during naps, nighttime, car rides and shopping trips. Mommy and Daddy loved the pacifier too -- it was a good way to avoid the embarrassing Target meltdown and kept Caroline from screaming the entire way to the grocery store. However, we decided that this friendship needed to come to an end. It was a rough couple of days when we first got rid of it, but we are happy to report that Caroline actually now sleeps better without the pacifier! Shopping trips and car rides are still a work in progress (we never go to Target without a HUGE bag of animal crackers to keep her mouth and hands busy), but overall it has been a success! So what does Caroline do now that she she pacifier-free?

She gives kisses to Austin (Gigi's dog).
She gives attitude to Mommy (check out that face!)

She walks around in Mommy's (and Daddy's) Shoes.

And she melts Mommy and Daddy's hearts on a regular basis :)
