What a cute post!
We've purchased every pacifier on the market, I swear. Meredith takes none of them. Lately, she looooves the Soothies, but not for sucking: just for chewing!

Oh wow, what am I in for?! Good thing she's so cute, though! I'm impressed how many outings you've already taken, I guess it beats being cooped up at home with 3 kids, right? Hopefully she's been sleeping better for you (although the all-night Halo tournaments are probably a good indication of how much she's been sleeping!)

That is quite the list. You sound like a busy new mommy of three. You really are ambitious to be out and about so much. Glad it's working for you. Hope you're able to get more sleep this month!

oh wes, i'm so sorry about the binky situation. They are the only thing keeping me sane right now. But then again, at least Maddie will sit in a swing. I can't wait to meet her. I'll be out there in two weeks - keep your busy schedule free on Friday Oct 10th!

Never give up on the binkies:) Dalan was 6 weeks old and Hunter was 18 MONTHS:) I am a huge binkie fan! Hang in there, every thing is temporary with kids, you'll look back on these days and laugh one day - or at least not cry...
