Over the last week, Violet has really discovered her hands. And she is obsessed with putting them in her mouth. Many a night I have been awakened at four a.m. by the loud, sloppy sounds of finger sucking. Violet manages through sheer force of will to free her arms from her swaddling blanket just to get those fingers in her mouth. Usually she sucks on whatever she manages to fit in there - fingers, the meaty part of her hand, her wrist. But lately, the thumb has found its way in more and more. And the lady doth protest if you try to swap the thumb for the pacifier. Sigh. Hopefully this is just a passing phase... You can get rid of a pacifier, but you can't get rid of a thumb.
Also, I really think the roses Lukas and Danielle sent for Mother's Day are the prettiest I have ever received. They have busted out in every glorious color. Observe:
And those of you who are really observant (and have large computer screens) might notice Spooky's boyfriend hanging out in the top left-hand corner of the picture. And yes, my house is a mess. Apologies.
