A few photos

Little Brook - 5 months old.  None of my other children sucked their thumbs, but she is at it a lot now.  We don't do pacifiers (don't like the way they look, the nipple confusion, and who knows what the effects of sucking on plastic all day and night are?) but at least with pacifiers you can just take them away when  you think it's time.  If she gets hooked on her thumb, then what?  I wouldn't mind hearing from you experienced moms on this. 

These next ones are from our Pentecost picnic at Elephant Rocks State Park

Brothers Christopher and Stephen with Bobby (right).  Bobby has been working with Christopher and his dad, Steve, climbing around on roofs.  Funny they should be climbing around on huge rocks on their day off.  These two young 'uns are the only boys out of Steve's 11 children.  If you'd like to see some of the girls dancing a beautiful Hebrew dance, go here.  (Don't know how to put the video here, but that's okay.  At least I got it up.  I like the laptop - I take it to town with me and use one the wireless hotspots to upload photos - it would have taken hours to upload this video from home.) That's eight of the nine girls dancing.  Charis, 11yrs, was sitting behind me holding Little Brook.   They're teaching me some of the dances, which I love... I'm just kind of a slow student.  Now I can watch the video clips over and over and maybe learn at home!

  Bobby loves the babies, especially when they reach this age...

I also nabbed a shot of all my children, the one you see above the blog title.  Good one, eh?

adorable

I think it is cute
she will out grow it probably, it will be natural and gradual, I wouldn't worry. NEVER again will I give my babies a pacifier it was awful to keep track of, and take away. PS>> still hoping for a third little Mullens still praying and waiting :)

Hey,
I wouldn't worry about the thumb sucking. 2 or 3 of mine were very enamored of the thumb but they all quit on their own. The oldest went the longest & he quit by about 3. But by then he only did it at bedtime. My baby is 5 mths & he's a thumb sucker too :)
