I think we have successfully weaned Jay off of his pacifier. He hasn't had it for almost a month. He has decided to have more temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way. Jay will grab my pants or hands and pull me to where he wants me to go. He's also getting a little better at pointing at things he would like to have. We're working on picking up our toys and books. Sometimes he does really well, but most of the time he throws a tantrum. It's a slow work in progress. I'll take the small victories. He's also started using his eating utensils a little more.
Jay got a haircut on Friday. He did not care for it and moved around a lot. The lady who cut his hair did a pretty good job and was fast. Not to mention patient since Jason and I had to take turns holding him. Jay looks very cute with his haircut and Jason says he looks like a boy now. (Jay's hair was pretty shaggy.)
I have finally heard that I will start back at Solum on April 1st. This is also the first day our daycare provider will be on vacation. So, my first day back, Grandma Pat will get to watch Jay. We're still looking for some one for the third week of April to watch Jay, but I'm sure everything will work out.
I've also decided to try to make a Quiet Book for Jay. I'm pretty sure I have all of the materials I will need. I've already made up what I want my pages to look like, I'm too the cutting everything out and sewing things together. Hopefully he'll like it!

So Tired
I know it's been some time since I've written on this blog. I just feel like Jay is sucking all of my energy into himself so he can continuously play with his ball pit or run around objects. (His new thing is running circles around the couch and kitchen table. One night it was even Jason!)
Jay has been without a pacifier for almost a month. This decision was made when he chewed through his last pacifier. He's been doing pretty good without it. There were a couple of long nights, but he's not really missing it...unless he sees someone else with one. He's decided to chew on his fingers instead since he's still working on getting the last of his molars.
Jason has been keeping busy by trying to pick up as much overtime that is offered. Summer is just around the corner and that means the end of overtime for a while. CyRide is always busy in the winter and even busier with home basketball games. They haven't cancelled service due to ice or snow, so we count ourselves fairly lucky. (If CyRide did cancel or suspend service, Jason would still have to brave the weather and go to work.)
I am still waiting for Solum to call me to go back to work. I enjoy my time off, but not knowing for sure when I'll be returning to work is starting to drive me a little crazy. I do continue to take Jay to daycare one day a week to keep his spot and for him to remain used to going there. In April, our provider is taking three weeks off to visit her daughter in Italy, so we're working on alternate arrangements for those weeks. (Thanks you to both Grandma Pat and Grandma Deana for taking time out of your schedules to help us!) I am also trying to work on free reading for myself. A lot of reading is done while multi-tasking and Jay's books come first, but I'm slowly getting through the large stack that I have.
We do enjoy the snow that we have gotten. Jay and I took a trek around our yard. I don't think Jay's quite sure what to do with it, but he giggles when he gets to play with it and has discovered he can eat it and Mommy won't get upset.
Jay had a photo session at our Super Wal-Mart today. He was quite difficult, but his session was at 11:45 and they were running about 30 minutes behind. (The second person called in sick.) It was a long morning for both of us since we didn't get out of there until 1. There are some cute pictures though and I'll make sure to give out the website once I get it!
