3 things about this video

1) Lucas has learned how to jump in his crib and does this every day. Pretty entertaining.

2) Lucas LOVES his blanket, but only this one. He won't sleep without it (trust me, I've tried). He grabs it and cuddles it. He throws it over his head and burrows in it. He piles it into a big ball and buries his face in it, and when he comes up for air, he's always grinning ear to ear. It's the only thing I've seen that will bring him instant joy -- just a glimpse of this blanket is better than any bottle, toy or pacifier. Which brings me to the third thing.

3)  Lucas does not -- nor ever did -- use a pacifier. But in my many failed attempts to get him to use one early on (I thought maybe it would help him settle down at night to sleep better) we ended up with several pacifiers of multiple varieties. We kept them around because he likes to play with them. It's only been in the past couple days that he's finally figured out that the squishy part goes in your mouth and you can suck on it. He's not good at it (it usually falls out within seconds), but should I be worried? Should I round up all the stray pacifiers now and dispose of them so he doesn't develop a late pacifier habit in his toddlerhood?
