We are officially weaning Reese of the paci. I always hated seeing older kids with paci's. They are for babies but of course my now 3 year old is addicted to hers so I'm one of "those" moms :) Whatever.

The reason I'm doing it is her teeth. We had her 3 year check up and our pedi took a peek at her teeth and he could even tell how the paci is affecting her teeth. She has a crossbite and it looks like maybe an open bite as well? We'll have Aunt Amber check that out (and the tongue thrust). Am I paranoid or what?!

I snipped the tip last night and she didn't care at all. That just goes to show its an emotional attachment and not a "NEED". I'm going to slowly continue snipping it and hopefully avoid tears. I was able to get her off the boob so I CAN do this. (pray for us...I'm scared LOL)




Saige is sooooo big and getting so smart. Yesterday we were counting (well Reese and I were) and I was going 1,2,3,4,5 and Shouts 6. Seriously? How did she know 6 came next? I'm sure shes just picking it all up from Reese and me but still?! It seems so crazy.


And she can seriously work it. Sometimes in the middle of the night she would sort of fuss, not a full blown crying but a fuss. Well now she just starts straight out with "Mommy Mommy Mommy Hold you Mommy Hold you". How can anyone resist that?! She is keeping us on our toes.


And speaking of smart...Reese is doing so well with her letters and numbers. She knows almost all the letters. She still gets a few mixed up and shes even starting to learn a few sounds. I'm so proud of her. We are working on writing a TINY bit too. Sometimes she's interested and other times NO way! But I'm trying to show her how to make an "R" which is a little hard if you ask me. hahaa. She also can recognize a good bit of her numbers. I know this is normal for her age but I'm still proud. Shes getting to be such a big girl.
