Love Those Fingers!

These past couple of weeks Samantha has started sucking on her fingers. We would hear some slurping and look down only to find her fingers in her mouth. We would quickly pull out her fingers and put in her pacifier. But then we looked up "thumb sucking" in the book "What to Expect the First Year" (Thanks Maryann and David-we love this book!) and found that it is natural and that we didn't need to worry about her becoming a permanent thumb sucker. My favorite line from this section of the book reads "Well, stop worrying and start letting your baby indulge herself." I think it's funny that finger sucking could be an indulgence, but it sure seems to be one for our Sami.
