I think this picture really says it all...

| This is how we nap. Note the pacifier. |
Ok, so maybe it's not how we nap ALL the time, but after putting E down for her nap this afternoon, I found her 10 minutes later in her crib happily cooing at her ceiling fan. No nap. Wide awake. Now this kid had been up for over 2 hours, and I know she's tired, but alas, no nap. Car seat? Nap!
Not only is she napping in her car seat (and ready to go for a voyage from the looks of it), there lies the dreaded pacifier! A background story here... If there was one thing I was certain of going into the hospital to deliver our precious little girl, it was that I would not by any means offer her a pacifier. Visions of 5 year olds still holding onto their binky between their teeth haunted my brain. How long did that last? Twenty-four hours. That was it. Baby E was one day old.
On a related note, I was also determined not to have a thumb sucker. Now, I'm not so sure as to how I was going to prevent this, but I was determined. It turns out E likes to suck. Pacifiers AND her thumb. And this week, she found it :)

| Caught in the act! |
On a positive note, I never thought I'd exclusively breastfeed my child, or ever want to be a stay at home mom. Both are turning out to be two of the best decisions I've ever made in my life, aside from marrying Paul, and trying to have a baby. We're just so blessed to have such a happy, healthy little girl, regardless of whether or not she naps in a chair while sucking on her thumb next to Copley with the TV on in the background :)

That's all for this week! Hope everyone is having a happy one,
