Mouth of the South: Pacifier

Ayden has always loved the pacifier...
On Day 1, Bryan wanted Ayden to have the pacifier. With every major event in Ayden's young life, it was important to Bryan that Ayden continue to suck on the pacifier. Though I was initially skeptical of pacifiers, I am now glad that Bryan has been so insistent. Ayden's willingness to suck on the pacifier is probably one of the primary reasons that he is willing to take a bottle.

All of these pictures probably look the same,
but Mommy gets excited with the camera.

I have five WubbaNubs:
Frank (dragon), Clifford (dog), Frog (frog), Geoffrey Melman (giraffe), and Alex (lion).
I need five because Mommy is always dropping them in the floor!

Mommy first heard about WubbaNubs from Jude's mommy, Ms. Diana.
Jude has a monkey named "Monkeypaci."

Mommy & Daddy took me for a walk at 7:00am this morning.
I'm still in my pajamas.

This is really only the third time that I have been outside for any lengthy duration.
Usually it's too hot outside, or there are too many bugs.

I haven't quite woken up.

In this video, Ayden exhibits his talent of sucking on the pacifier. Denise, his speech pathologist, often compliments Ayden on this ability. Ayden has such a strong suck that, as Bryan told Dr. Kavanaugh, "we have to pry it from his mouth when he is sleeping."
Grancee says Ayden is going to be a drummer. As you see in this video, his recent enjoyment is keeping time with his right hand. (Okay. Okay. It looks like he is just beating up his right leg!)

Did you see Ayden put his pacifier back in his mouth?!?!? What a relief to us! We don't have to babysit the pacifier as often! Did you also see him cross his eyes? That's new too. I'm not a big fan.
