Thumbsucker

At one day old, Elizabeth amazed us all by sucking her thumb. She must have been practicing quite a bit in utero.

For the first few days of life, she was able to repeat this trick, but then lost it. Since then, she's been trying to find her hands, especially her thumbs. She's had success a handful of times, and always seems excited when she does.  A couple weeks ago, she was sleeping in longer than usual, and when I went to check on her, I found out why. She'd managed to wiggle her hand up out of her swaddle wrap and that thumb was popped right in her mouth. There was quite a lot of smacking going on, and she was pretty happy with herself.
