This picture is the epitome of irony to me. We were desperate for AJ to take a pacifier from months 0-4 to comfort him and help him sleep during those first fussy weeks. Every time we tried offering him one, he would promptly spit it out with a cartoon-like patooie and it would go flying. Our pediatrician and everyone else told us that some babies like pacifiers and some just don't. But AJ is his own man, because after vehemently rejecting them for the first 9 months of his life, he has developed a new interest. In the last month or so, he has started to use them as teething rings that he holds in his mouth and chews on, rather than sucks. So just about when the pediatrician would recommend weaning off the pacifier, our little guy is starting. These past few days, he has been juggling three at once, with one in each hand and one in the mouth.
