Whoever invented the pacifier must be in Heaven! I wasn't really sure if I wanted Emma to have one, or if it was a good idea health wise. At her first appointment the Dr. assured us it was just fine and we could start it any time. Well, that time came yesterday.... After what seemed like a day or two of voracious eating, and then MAJOR projectile spit-up, the pacifier came out. She took to it like you wouldn't believe. In the Baby's Daily Journal that Uncle Justin gave her for Chritmas it says that sucking is one of baby's biggest needs right now and that nonnutative sucking (pacifier, finger, etc.) is actually good for them and stimulates a host of differnt things in their bodies - so brin gon the pacifier!
Emma had to go get a shot yesterday, they do it in the heel - she didn't even cry!!! Just a little whimper. Although I have to say, she is SUCH a good baby, we can tell already that she is growing and letting us know more and more what she wants or if she is unhappy with something. She is also waking up about every two hours to eat at night! HELLO!
Today is her last day with Grama and Great Grams Patterson, so we will be over with them most of the day..... Then we are on our own for three weeks 'till Grandma and Grandpa Hinrichs come out for the week - YAY!

I really do think that the person that created the pacifier is in Heaven, because.... I think it was created, like, more than 100 years ago :)
Ha Ha --good one.
