10 weeks and Sucking Her Thumb!

I can't seem to figure out how to post pictures where I want them in the blog... anyone know how?

Our little one just keeps getting cuter and cuter by the day.  She is all smiles these days and happy as can be.  We finally got some of those smiles on camera, check out the latest album called "9 1/2 weeks".  Blair has enjoyed practicing his art of photography on such a worthy subject and we're so thankful for some great shots!

Latest big news: Ava has started sucking her thumb!  She never really took a pacifier so we stopped offering it and would let her suck on our pinky fingers occasionally when she needed help calming down.  About two weeks ago she "found" her tongue and started moving it around and smacking her lips.  Around the same time we'd catch her sucking on any part of her hand she could get in her mouth, most often a whole side of her fist, but never a consistent finger.  But just this week she has started consistently sucking her thumb and it is so adorable!  Of course this will cause a lot of heartache when we have to break her of it later but for now we love watching her find her thumb and also are loving that she can soothe herself so well now. This is helping her sleeping schedule during the day because she puts herself to sleep much more quickly and without much fussing, and if she wakes up early she used to cry and cry if she was still tired but now she can put herself back to sleep or entertain herself until nap time is over.  It's wonderful!  She has always been a pretty easy going baby but now she rarely fusses and is very content!  We're so blessed to have her!
