A Human Pacifier

I am a human pacifier. Nice to meet you. Lucy will absolutely not take a pacifier - she will only take one thing to calm her down, which I am sure you can figure out what it is. She eats during her eating times, but if she needs to fall asleep she must have a couple of minutes on her human pacifier in order to fall fully asleep ... and, to top it off, if she had her way, she would fall asleep on our chests. She prefers to doze off there for a while until she is good and asleep, then she'll head to bed. Although, if she startles herself awake, which happens from time to time, the whole process must start over again. It's very fun.
Today's pics:
No flash on this pic - I didn't want to wake her up, but this is an example of the chest position.
Pete tried out the sling this morning ... Lucy didn't take to it as well this time. I love her little feet sticking out.
This picture is meant to show off Lucy's gigantic hands, although I'm not sure if you can see how big they are. This girl has Muilenburg style hands and feet and is destine for basketball, volleyball, or piano - we'll see.

This is how Lucy took her morning nap this morning - half of the time on me, half of the time on Pete. I cut up a bunch of fruit and we munched on that as she slept - oh how our lives have changed.


Here are some swing pics. She likes her swing for somewhere between five and twenty minutes, then she's done. I wish I could start crying everytime I wanted something and someone would meet my every need. :)


O.K. I really need to take a nap. I'm having a hard time adjusting to taking daytime naps myself - they don't come too easily for me, as it takes me a long time to wind down and once I'm asleep, it takes me a while to wind back up when the time comes. The apartment needs to be cleaned so badly - the bathroom is disgusting, but I guess that stuff will have to wait for at least a few more hours, if not days. It will be nice to have a helper here in a couple of weeks, although that also means that work is right around the corner. Oh well, I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
