Crawling, teeth and pacifiers

Wow, a lot has happened in the last couple of months. Rachael has started crawling... or scooting across the floor. She looks just like a frog with one leg in front and one in back as she pulls herself across the floor.

Currently, Rachael has two teeth on the bottom, which she has had since she was five months old. But, recently, she has started getting the two on top. They are almost through. Plus, the two on either side on the top are working through, as well. She loves using them when she eats her table food. She defintely prefers table food over baby food and is vocal about it, especially when I try to give her baby food while we are eating table food. Strong opinions already.

Meredith has been without a paci for about a month now. We had planned to give them all to Santa, but she had such a meltdown that we couldn't make Christmas so traumatic. Well, we gave all but one to Santa. As it turned out, about a week later, she lost the last one. She has had some whiny nights and naptimes, but overall has done really well. I had heard such horror stories about giving up pacifiers and she didn't do any of it. We were very fortunate.
