my baby is growing up

My sweet baby boy is growing up. He is getting so big! I usually have my kiddos off their pacifiers around the time they turn 2. Well, Bear turned 2, oh....5 months ago and I had not even THOUGHT of getting him off of his paci. So, when he had a scratch on his chin that got infected because of the drool from that paci....well, I had to do a cut and dry, no looking back, "take the paci" move. He was put on an antibiotic and we had to apply creme daily and bandage his chin. It was kind of gross... But, he never cried - He asked for that paci a few times and whined a little over it is all. So, two weeks later....he is paci free. Awe, he is a big fella! My baby is growing up!
