we won't be seeing you in the morning...or ever again! jacob said goodbye to his pacifiers this weekend. actually, we threw them away when we wasn't looking, so he didn't get a chance to officially say goodbye. (was that mean of us? i don't know. we thought we were making it easier for him.)
well, he surprised us, and slept amazingly well at night without his paci. his naps were not as good- he would wake up and be very upset- almost inconsolable. but as the weekend went on, the naps got slightly better. so, time will tell. we are so proud of our big boy for making the transition smoother for us than we thought! daddy got sentimental and we ended up keeping just one paci, which we tucked away out of sight. :)
we are so excited for our friends zach and danielle who welcomed their second child, Elizabeth Agnes (Ellie), into the world on saturday. jesse and i were able to visit their family yesterday and see the beautiful girl! both mom and baby are healthy and are doing great! congratulations!
funny story:
yesterday morning, in our rush to get out the door for church, i asked jesse to grab some diapers for [jacob's] diaper bag (he says i didn't specify which child). it wasn't until after church that i realized we had sent kate's size 3 diapers into nursery with jacob. (jacob is wearing size 5 these days, and maybe should be wearing 6's, if you can just imagine the size difference). so yes indeed, jacob needed a clean diaper during nursery, and yes indeed, he was wearing a size 3 when we picked him up! the nursery staff must have gotten a good laugh out of that- or else they were really worried for jacob because his parents must be loony! let's just say that a size 3 diaper on a 27+ pound toddler looks like the fit of speedo swimming trunks. sorry jacob!
sorry grandparents, no pictures today!

Sounds like Jacob had a rough weekend. Poor guy.
getting rid of the paci is the worst, but it sounds like Jacob did much better than Ava. She cried unconsolably all night long for two weeks. She was not impressed. Yeah for Jacob! What a big boy.
So, here's a question for those who have gone before.... is it better to get rid of the paci earlier (like, say, around 5 months) or wait until they're older?
Good for Jacob!
It took [our] Jacob about two days to get over losing his pacifiers. It took Libby about nine months. I'm glad it went smoothly for you.
We got to church ... not that long ago ... and realized Jacob didn't have shoes on. I thought I was going to die of humiliation, but Ben insisted that it was no big deal and carried him in to his nursery class (I guess it was probably two years ago). I was sure I was going to hear from Child Protective Services that week, but I guess the nursery workers had mercy. So the diaper thing? They probably didn't even notice. :)
Woo-hoo!
