Where is that hand of mine? Oh good, here it is. Time to get busy!
Should I be like the other kids and suck my thumb? No way! When it comes to fingers, the more the merrier!
1 in...
2 in half way...
2 in all the way...that's getting better!
2 1/2 in...
3 in...
3 in fully engaged! I just wish my mouth would grow a little to fit my the pinkie and thumb!
Since Elijah has gotten so good at pacifying himself with his new hobby, we decided it was time to....
Go hands free in the swaddle! We were getting tired of putting pacifiers back in his mouth when he lost them and he prefers his hands anyway. Although he still has a bit of the startle reflex, so far arms out has been well worth it! Elijah puts himself right to sleep on his naps and at night and last night slept 12 hours straight! Wohoo!!
However, being released does not mean you're 100% good to go. You are still on probation mister! One wrong move and it's back to the swaddle for you until you are married! 
On a side note, look how long Elijah's hair is getting! In some of the above pictures you can see it's all fluffy. I love the baby chick look!
Those hands look tasty! He looks snug as a bug in a rug in that convertible woombie. How was night 2?
