Some of you who have been around us with Luke know that Luke will not take a pacifier. We've tried about five different types, but none of them work. Older mothers tell me, "That's not such a bad thing, Sarah." Yep, there are advantages -- 1) We'll never have to get him off of it. 2) If he loses it in the middle of the night and can't get it, there's not screaming -- we don't have to get up to give it back to him. Yep, there are disadvantages -- 1) Sometimes, he really needs to be soothed. We've had to rely on him sucking on our pinky fingers for that. It's annoying, but it generally works. 2) In church, because he won't suck on a pacifier, he's not really quiet (even if he's not upset, he chatters).
Fortunately, Luke has definitely found his fist, and he sucks on his fist to go to sleep (we see him on the camera monitor). So, if he wakes up, he can get back to sleep himself.
Though he actually found his thumb several weeks ago, last night, he sucked on his thumb for quite awhile. I had put him on his tummy for "tummy time." He's still not a real fan, though the crying is starting to stop during that time. When I did this last night, he was tired. So, he just sucked him thumb for awhile. Too cute....
