Big Girl

I may be short
I may be stout,
But I'm what Mama
Smiles about.
My chubby hands
And pudgy toes,
Cute as a button
That's just how it goes.
I can sit up tall now
I'm growing so fast,
Watch out big brother
Soon I'm gonna kick your... um, butt!

Thumbo

I secretly LOVE that Zooey sucks her thumb and here's why. Well, it's not so much of a secret.

Jed uses a pacifier. This has good and bad points but all in all it's a pain in the ass when you left it in the car and your baby is screaming in the grocery store. You can't leave a thumb in the car.

When Jed was learning how to self soothe at night, the Nuk was a big help except when it was an inch away from his head and he couldn't get it back in his mouth. Good thing your thumb is attached to your arm!

There's nothing cuter than a tiny baby sucking her thumb. It's just so freakin' cute.

You can't drop your thumb on the ground and get all dog-hairy.

A little bully can't come over and steal your thumb outta your mouth.

You can't lose your thumb between the couch cushions or car seats.

Your dog can't run off with your thumb.

Your parents get to call you names like "Thumbo".
