passy gone gone

since day 1, literally, lucas has been a passy baby. when he was itty bitty, he started out with the tiny newborn nuk passies. then somewhere along the way, he moved to those goofy looking soothie passies.

then he went back to the nuk brand. i've seriously never seen lucas happier than when he has his passy in his mouth and his blanky in his hand! whether he is sleeping or playing, he loves a passy.

he likes them here and there, and anywhere. in a house, or with a mouse. in a box, or with a fox. yeah, kinda like green eggs and ham, except not really.  that boy... really, whether he's at home, in the snow, at the beach, on christmas day, in the car... he loves a passy.

i must give you all that background and show you the sweet pics with the passy so you will know just how how much he loves it. so with that being said... i'm so proud of my big boy and his huge recent accomlishment. his passy is GONE GONE!

he has asked about it a few times, sometimes he will say "i want my passy mama." or "where my passy go?" but really, it's been a much smoother transition than i could have imagined! i'm so thankful! :) and i know it sounds crazy, but i'm kinda sad to see it go. i'll admit, it's been nice to stuff in his mouth if he was whining or crying, but i think most of all, i'm kinda sad b/c it means my baby boy is growing up. sniff sniff. :(

*but as you see in the picture above, he doesn't seem too sad about it! ;o)
