The Boys are growing up!

Big news- Matthew has finally given up his pacifier! We've tried to take it away several times, but he kept stealing Jacob's, and we decided it just wasn't worth the fight. But he kept chewing holes in his pacifiers, and he was getting a new one EVERY day- a very expensive habit! Anyway, the other day he lost the last one I had, and we just decided to suck it up, tell him it was lost, and deal with the terrible fits to come. But to our great surprise, there have been no fits! He just keeps telling us that his "sucker" is lost!!! Yay!!! Hope potty-training goes this well! The other big accomplishment is that Jacob is going up the stairs- not so great when you have 3 sets of them in your house, but it's exciting! Time to break out the baby gates!
