Connor found his thumb

Connor is going to be a thumb sucker like his Mama was, I am afraid. He has actually been sucking it since he was in the hospital, but this is the first picture I could capture of it. It is nice now that he can soothe himself, but I know first hand how it can ruin the shape of your mouth. My parents had to pay for various appliances for my mouth including braces. I had a baby blanket that I would hold and rub while I sucked on my thumb. My Mom actually got me to get rid of it by telling me one Easter that the Easter bunny needed it to keep her babies warm. Of course I had to leave it in my Easter basket the night before. However, it wasnt for several years later that I stopped sucking my thumb. Hopefully, I wont have to go through this with Connor even though it is a sweet story.
