Flying Ace

So we took our first plane flight this weekend, to Pittsburgh to visit the grandparents (or great-grandparents, as the case may be). Jack did great on the plane - slept the entire way out there and only minimally fussed before falling to sleep on the way back. The visit itself was great and he was fairly pleasant throughout the weekend.

Now that we're back, I think it's time to move him to his own room. I think he'll sleep better (and I'm hoping I will too). The last real hurdle is this pacifier. He still needs it to fall asleep, spits it out after a little while, then wakes up and starts screaming since he can't get back to sleep without it. This will happen 4-6 times/night (mostly in the hours just after he's fallen asleep, so I'm still awake and just run in and pop it back in) and it's a problem. He's not quite dexterous enough with his hands that he can find it in the crib and get it back into his mouth, so it's on me to get it back in there. Is it too early to break him of it and just say we're done with pacifiers completely? It sucks (no pun intended) because it really does soothe him - I mean, you pop that thing back in and he is back to sleep immediately. But maybe it's tough love time...
