where is my pacifier?

Our baby is developing motor skills and today (November 10, 2006), we let the baby try to put the pacifier into her mouth by herself. Maya almost succeeded andexhausted herself in the process falling asleep soon after. The book on baby motor awareness reads: The Early Months:Birth through 8 monthsPhysical, spatial, and temporal awareness - yes our baby has the first two, I'm not sure about her awareness of time except she isn't very aware of when daddy needs to be sleepingfor work. *Uses complex reflexes; searches for something to suck - well, that's the pacifier; holds on when falling - yes, our Maya loves to hold us when she gets a little off balance; turns head to avoid obstruction of breathing - she always does this on the bed; avoids brightness, strong smells, and pain - well, she cries if something hurts her but we try not to let her get hurt at all.*Puts mouth or object in mouth - she even tries to put sweety pie (cute cow toy) and the rattling cow into her mouth; begins reaching toward interesting objects - yes.*Grasps, releases, re-grasps, and releases objects - the pacifier today, hurray!.*Lifts head; holds head up; sits up without support, almost; rolls over, almost; transfers and manipulates objects with hands, not yet; crawls, not yet.*Comforts self by sucking thumb or finding pacifier, well she sticks her whole hand in.*Follows a slowly moving object with eyes, including daddy and mommy.*Reaches and grasps toys, especially all her cute cows andhorses.*Looks for dropped toy, yes.*Identifies objects from various viewpoints. Finds a toy hidden under a blanket when placed there while watching, not yet!!!.
