Eva has taken to sucking her finger and we think it’s the cutest thing. She holds her blanket up to her face with her right hand and sucks her left pointer finger. None of our other kids would ever really suck on a pacifier, let alone a finger. It’s so adorable. (I know it might not be when she’s 5 years old, but it sure is now at 4 months.)
It’s a good thing I made her some more blankies for Christmas– one side snuggly flannel and the other side silky voile from Anna Maria Horner’s Little Folks line. If I were a better blogger you’d know that I LOVE the voile that several Free Spirit Fabric designers have prints on because I have made several things out of its silkiness (a School House Tunic, a shirt for Brenna, a shirt for me), but only about a third of the things I make ever get blogged about, so you’ll just have to take my word for it. I love that fabric and I love that my sweet little girl likes to tickle her face with it as she sucks herself to sleep.
That it so cute! There is something so beautiful about a sleeping baby in her mama’s arms. Funny, my newest also is a finger sucker (not thumb…) and none of my others ever cared for it either! But for the moment he does it when he gets excited and happy when his brothers and sisters are playing with him, not so much to go to sleep right now.
