Mmmm Tasty Fingers...

The baby has found both of her hands, and loves her fingers!!

In the morning, during play-time, in her sleep... she's always sucking her fingers or thumb. It's quite cute!! I know some people are worried that the finger and thumb sucking will last until she's 5 years old (past her infancy) but I'm not too worried. We can always try to wean her off her own fingers and thumb as she gets older. But for now, the sucking is a comfort measure, and all babies do it.

I've also noticed baby is starting to put things into her mouth! She's discovered the joy of tasting all her toys, hehe! So now we have to make sure everything is clean, just in case she sucks on it. She even sucks on her own bib, burp cloth, and mommy and daddy's shirts while we hold her.

As she gets older each day, and learns to do new things, I marvel at her cute-ness, and fall in love with her more as time passes. She is such a cute bundle of joy!
