She did it!!!!

From the day she was born, Kelsey's been working very hard at trying to find her thumb to suck. It's like she knows it's there, but she tucks it so very tightly against the inside part of her hand that she can't find it. Today she found it! She looked so proud of herself afterwards. I tried to take a picture with her sucking it, but wasn't quick enough. She found it twice today so hopefully, she'll be getting better at this as each day goes by. This will solve much frustration, as she wakes up several times in her sleep because she's frustrated she can't find it and a paci just doesn't cut it.
As a side note, the sleeping in the crib didn't work so well last night. She woke up as soon as she hit the sheets and Mace woke up as well. We'll try again tonight.

Would you LOOK at that picture? Just adorable - Kels looks like a very happy and proud baby girl! Maybe now that she has found her thumb, she'll be able to sleep in the crib too! Love and kisses to both of girls - please tell Mace we can't wait to have her in the wedding!

I love the lighting in that photo... adorable victory!

I hope sleeping in the crib goes better tonight! Judah isn't sleeping through the night quite yet, but once he is we'll be in the same situation as you are... attempting two kids in one room without one disturbing the other! Wait... is Kelsey's crib in Macey's room? Anyhow, good luck on night #2!
