Self-Soother!

Preston has never been a baby that enjoy pacifiers.  Even when he was first born and we were still in the hospital, he would swirl them around in his mouth wondering what the heck it was.  Sometimes he'd suck on it, but he'd eventually spit it out.

He's been that way ever since.

At three months old, though, he's dying to have something in his mouth - and what does he like?  Cloth.  He loves to chew on our burp cloths, and other towel like material.  So a close friend had actually given us a hand puppet that looks like a monster.

Guess who fell in love with it!?

He chews on that thing like it's going out of style.

For a while now, I've been rocking Preston to sleep.  But now, I simply lay him down in his bouncer or swing, he'll cry a little bit because he's tired, I give him his monster - he chews...and he calms down and goes to sleep!

I am currently singing the Hallelujah Chorus!

Preston also enjoys sitting with either of us at the piano, watching the music, hitting the keys, and staring at our picture on the wall.

Absolutely precious!

Hey new Mom's out there!  What does your baby like these days?  Are they hooked on their pacifier, cloth, or a favorite doll/stuffed animal?  Let me know!

A babysitter post coming soon!
