Pacifree

Cohen is eleven months old and the pacifier and the bottle are both gone. We're paci-free! It's so nice not to have to worry anymore whether I have a paci with me. Out of sight, out of mind seemed to work for Cohen. There were moments, and there still are, that I think a paci would soothe him, but we just don't resort to it. We tough it out.

No more bottles either. Poor boy. We told him we would take both away at one year, but we started early thinking it would take a while. To our surprise, it was much easier to ween from both than what we had anticipated. So, here we are at eleven months with no paci, and sippy cups instead of bottles. We haven't switched to whole milk yet, so Coey still gets formula in the sippy cup. They say whole milk is harder for babies to digest so we're in no rush on that. And, besides, Cohen is such a good eater, I'm sure he'll make the switch just fine.

Cohen was playing in the living room last night when I walked in with a bowl of ice cream. (Must of gotten that from my Popi!) He immediately dropped to the floor and whined as I took a seat on the couch. He saw I had food, and although he didn't know what I was eating, he already knew he wanted some. He came crawling over with his mouth open. He was right though; he likes icecream! He cried again when it was "all gone".
