Guess who’s a thumbsucker?

Yep. You guessed it. I have photographic evidence.

And here he is caught in the act:

At first, I thought, “Oh crap. He’s going to become a thumb addict.” That was until he utilized this newfound act of coordination to self-soothe. Now I love it. I love how I don’t have to run in and nurse him back to sleep all the time. He just puts the thumb in his mouth, sucks a little bit, and falls right back to sleep. It’s amazing!  And I can get a LOT more housework done now that he can sleep longer, so I’m totally taking advantage of that. I’m also trying to get out at least once a week and trying to meet more moms. I met a very nice mom named Jessi and I’m trying to keep in touch with her, and I really want to go to the meetings the groups I belong to hold. They’re just too far away! Ugh… Oh well. I’ll figure out how to deal with that somehow.
