Bye, Bye Binky

For a few weeks we've been preparing for the retiring of the binky. Sydney has been chewing holes in them ever since her two year molars came through. We have been going through about one binky a week. Luckily we had a lot and each time the hole went through, we'd go throw it away. This past week we were on our last binky and I prepared Sydney by telling her there wouldn't be anymore. Everyday we looked at the binky and the hole getting bigger. By the time the binky was ready to be thrown away, she was very used to the idea. I was gonna let her have it one more night, but right before bed she said, "Can we just throw it away right now?" So we did. I let her watch me take the garbage bag outside to the can and she hasn't asked about it since. Its been three days. It seems to take her a little longer to go to sleep but not bad. She's getting so grown up!

Like Sister, Like Brother?

Sydney favorite activity to do with Wynn is read him books. It also happens to be one of his favorite activities. However, they aren't alike in many other ways. Do you think they look similar? Below is a picture of them both at two months. Wynn's two month checkup was earlier this week. He weighed 12 lbs 10 oz (5 lbs already since birth!) and was 23 inches long. He's a full two pounds heavier than Sydney at this age. He has already rolled over twice from his back to his tummy, he can hold onto toys sometimes and is really good at batting the toys on his playmat. He constantly turns his head to try and see where Sydney is going and is getting better at finding her in the room. His little head is very strong! When I tell Sydney that Wynn is talking to her when he coos at her, she says he is too little to talk and has to get bigger, but he does love to try.

This is his 'You know I'm Cute Though' look he gives me everytime he's supposed to be eating or sleeping, but just wants to play. I love the little head tilt and smirk. He thinks he's got me wrapped around his finger already :D
