Tips to Introduce a Pacifier

When I was pregnant, I had the idea in my head that we wouldn't use pacifiers. I didn't like them because I read that they can effect breastfeeding in a negative way and that an older child can become too dependent on them. Well, a many of sleepless nights later, we decided to introduce a pacifier to our baby.

How We Celebrated Independence Day {Wordless Wednesday LINKY}

We went to the lake all weekend. We were surrounded by friends and family. And then we went and watched a spectacular fireworks display on the lake while sitting in my in-law's boat. It was pretty cool. It was my first time doing that. Peanut slept through all of the fireworks. It was way past his bed time.
 


Friday we went to the lake and Peanut fell asleep on the boat ride to dinner. He woke up half way through.
