Bye-bye paci

Getting rid of Jeremiah's pacifier was easier than we expected it to be. Since returning to the sitter after the holidays, he has been napping without it and now, he's been without it at night since Sunday. WhooHooo!! He's still gleefully heading for his bedroom to go night-night when we mention it so now I know that paci wasn't his only motivation to want in his crib.

Jeremiah had a great time over the weekend visiting Uncle Roger and Aunt Sandra and "helping" decorate their new bedroom. He helped Papa Schnitzler throw away trash, some of which Mama had to dig back out. He was a little over-eager. He played with Emma, Isabella and Sophia and delighted in all the food, including eating corn on the cob for the first time. It was hilarious to watch him bite right in to it.

Each day brings a new discovery or way of playing/engaging with his toys. He's enjoying pushing his cars and tractors and has finally figured out the pull toys and how they are supposed to work. He has balls, which he got for Christmas, that imped inside each other and last night it seemed to click that he can put them in each other and pull the two halves apart to watch the ball inside some out.

He's looking forward to a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Todd this weekend, and a quick trip to St. Louis to meet Great-Grandma Todd. Hopefully we can post some pictures of a fun weekend. I failed at taking pictures this past weekend.
