The little Thumb-sucker

It looks like we have a little thumb-sucker on our hands.  I don't even know what to do with myself!  Chauncey sucks on his fingers until he finds his thumb, everyday, multiple times a day.  Isabela and Xander each found their thumbs one time that I ever saw, and that was it.  The pacifier is a wonderful thing that can be taken away later (although, both Bell and Xander also gave that up on their own... even before I was ready).  Self-pacifying is wonderful!  However, I worry about two years from now when I have to make him stop sucking his thumb.  He will still take a binkie (chupón, as we call it), so hopefully his thumb won't be an impossible habit to break.

He also loves playing with his hair when he sucks on his thumb.
Although sometimes he pulls it so hard that he cries. :(  

 This is one of my favorite outfits on him!

Fast asleep!

Update 9/4/13 with pictures!
Sometimes I wake up to him in the night, sucking vigorously on his thumb. He is obviously hungry.  If he would stop self-pacifying and cry a little bit, I would actually wake up sooner to feed him!


Chauncey is a very happy baby.  At about one month old, his smiles became HUGE and non-stop.  He talks and coos every time I talk to him, and even gives a little squeal-like laugh.  I don't remember the other two doing this quite as frequently.  He is one happy little camper!  I feel so blessed and grateful to have another beautiful baby in our home.
