Sucking Toes

Haven is getting better at controlling her limbs. She loves reaching out to touch our faces and when we pick her up to hold her, she rests her arm on our shoulders and chests.

She discovered her feet before, but it's almost as if she's rediscovered them. Perhaps they're more exciting now that she can reach them.

And put them in her mouth.

She can be found sucking her toes just like she does her fingers. She'll happily spend hours pulling her socks off bit by bit, both with her hands and her mouth.

Speaking of sucking fingers, she still cannot get enough of that. She sucks her thumb almost all day long. Occasionally, she'll cram a couple other fingers in her mouth, always more than one at once. We're convinced if she could fit all the fingers of both hands in her mouth at the same time, she would. In fact, it seems like that might be her goal.

She also still enjoys sucking our fingers too. She grabs at our hands and as soon as she gets ahold of them, into her mouth they go!

She's getting so much stronger. She's great at holding her head up, although not as perfect as she will eventually be at it. She likes helping to pull herself up from a lying down position. And she's still determined to stand up at all costs. We have a walker for her now, but she's not quite old enough to make the most of it. We put her in there for short periods just so she can get the time upright that she so desperately craves.
