New Milestone

So Claire has had a pacifier for her naps, bedtime and car trips since she was about 3 months old. She is a very smart little girl and lately she acts like she wants to take a nap so when I take her to her room and put her in the crib she grabs the pacifier and then wants back out. She knows she only gets it for bedtime or naps...so I told her big girls don't get pacifiers and we needed to throw it away and that is what we did. She watched me do it and then cried for about 15 minutes afterwards. I know it sounds harsh but just hiding it from her would not work, she had to know it was all gone.

So our lives have been less than great. She is still having a hard time taking her naps and going to bed at night. She also has a cold and the beginnings of her first ear infection. We went to the Dr. today. She is 20 lbs 10 oz in case you were wondering. :)

Other than that big news we have been playing in the leaves, finger painting and I have been packing our house and getting it ready to be sold. We are moving to Alliance with Matt and then to Arizona in March. It will be a good move for us but we are having a hard time since we just got settled here in Lincoln.
Hi to Aunt Becky in Memphis we miss you!

kellie, you sucked your thiumb, so I could not just take it out and throw it away. You always looked so sweet and content when you were sucking your thumb and holding dolly. Those are some of my fondest memories of you. I can;t remember how you quit the habit:)
Love you,Mom
