Bye Bye Plugs
Time to say farewell to the pacifiers. The girls are teething & can't hold onto them, so Ian and I have decided to take advantage of the natural transition. It's going to be rough for a while until they get the hang of it. It is good for all of us though. They will learn how to self pacify and I will not have to get up 6 times a night to replug them. In the "Juggling Twins" book I have, they recommend getting rid of them no later than 4 months old, otherwise they become a crutch for them and a constant hassle for you. Well, the girls have enjoyed the comfort of them for 7 months and now it is time to let them go. I know that some would not agree with this decision, but every child is different and this is what's best for Karis & Kelsie. We would appreciate your prayers, as we are in for a pretty difficult road.

Have been praying for you during this transition. I have been going back and forth tons about whether or not to take advantage of Emily's new interest in the pacifier. She's not hooked on it but she could be if I offered it more. I'd never thought about teething making it harder for them to use it! Will miss your blogs while you are taking a break. Love you so much, sister!
