Our 4th of July was great! We went to Antietam Battlefield with my parents. Addisyn absolutely loved the fireworks - I'm still shocked she managed to stay awake as late as she did! She asked over and over, "what is that" and would reach towards the sky grunting when there was a pause between them. We packed tons of snacks and sat on the battlefield listening to the Maryland Symphony Orchestra.
Addisyn also had a growing up experience over the weekend. Our ped had suggested that it was time to put away the pacifier - Addisyn has only ever used it for nap and night time, so you would think she wouldn't be attached to it. WRONG!! Paci became a must for sleeping in our house. So imagine our fear when we even let the thought of getting rid of it slip into our minds! But thankfully, being the wonderful child she is, she's doing just fine without it. We hid it Friday night, and thought for sure she'd cry when we layed her down. Instead, she talked to herself for 20 minutes, then went right to sleep. When naptime rolled around Saturday, things were a little different. She fussed for 15 minutes, but then quickly went to sleep. So here we are Sunday night, she's sleeping, and we've been pacifier free for 2 1/2 days!!! Go Addisyn!! I think she was missing it tonight before bed though - as we were laying her down, she threw her hands in the air and asked, "where is it?"!! We chuckled and quickly replaced that thought with her blankie and baby! This was the final "piece" to her babyhood.........
