Talented...truly talented (it runs in the family)

So maybe it's just because he's our son....but we are impressed. Most babies are seen sucking their thumbs in the womb. This is made possible by the close proximity of their hands to their face due to the limited space. However, once out of the cozy 24-hour childcare unit...it takes months for most to coordinate getting their hands/thumb to their mouth again. Usually their efforts leave them with scrapes and scratches as they slap their cheeks and flail their arms about. Our son on the otherhand is super human. Here he is at 6 days old with his thumb securly tucked into his mouth. While we are thrilled at his ability to self soothe, the downfall is that you can take a pacifier away from a kid....but you can't take his thumbs!
