So, Maeve kept sucking on her mittens. We decided (with Aunt Kim's help) to try and see if she would suck on her fingers if we took her mittens off. Being that she won't take a pacifier, we decided to see if she would suck her thumb. We took off her mittens and cut her nails- another task in itself- and low and behold, she popped her thumb right in her mouth! Now of course there was some trial and error. Sometimes her thumb goes in her nose first but in the end, it does make it to her mouth. I caught a little picture of it when she was sleepy. I am guessing that she will need braces if she continues this! At least I won't have to wake up to put a pacifier in her mouth in the middle of the night.

Another good thing is that thumbs dont fall off in the back of the car - so you dont have to stop to get it!!!
Ahh, she is too cute!
