Bye, bye Paci

So we have officially been a paci-free house for a week now. Since about six months of age, Brayden has never really had his pacifier aside from bed time and nap time. However, for the past few months Dan and I have been contemplating when would be a "good" time to take the pacifier away completely. We don't really mind Brayden having a paci to sleep, but we also didn't want to wait until he was much older and potentially experience a greater struggle. After much debate, we decide to wait until after the holidays and try in the beginning of January. So, last Friday night we decided to put Brayden to bed without his paci. Dan and I sat downstairs with great anticipation waiting for the screams to kick in, but guess what?! We never heard them. It took Brayden a little longer to fall asleep than normal (20ish minutes), but he never cried or fussed once! Needless to say, we have not looked back. We are so proud of our little man for handling this transition so well!!!


Here are a few pictures just for fun...

I love sleeping babies. So peaceful. 

(This was a day or two before he gave of the paci)

Love me some PB&J!

Ahh a Slinky...they still exist!
