The Quest for the Perfect Fingers

When I was a baby, I sucked my middle two fingers.  I wish I had a picture to show you, but you can take my word for it.  Lucy is decidedly not a thumb-sucker.



But she is a finger sucker.  She has been working on finding the ideal fingers to suck since almost the moment she was born.



She's getting a lot better at it! 



She doesn't miss anymore.



I love watching her figure it out.


I don't love that her fingers are usually sopping wet and cold now. 



But I love when her crying stops momentarily, and I check the video monitor to see her sucking on all four fingers.



I am so curious to see if she ends up with the two middle fingers, like me.







Do you see her tongue sticking out on this one above?



This one was taken with the flash, just after she fell asleep.  She woke up again, but it was worth it. 



Cute, cute girl.

  1. What an adorable girl! It sure looks like she's going for two fingers at a time, for the most part. Why do babies do it?
