Thumbsucker

Busted!


Seriously, though...for about ten seconds, she had her thumb firmly planted in her mouth sucking like a champ. I had turned away for a few seconds and actually heard it before I saw it...got this pic just as she was pulling it out.

Can you say "genius"?

  7. Hey Nathan and Tricia...

    I rarely post only due to the fact that there are nearly a gazillion posts...however, I check in on y'all EVERYDAY. I am so tickled (first off) that Tricia is out of the hospital! YEAHHHHHHHHH! Tricia, you look great...you coloring, your eyes...you look awesome! No one would ever guess what you have endured! Praise God!!!! Now...that cute little miracle, Gwyneth...she looks AMAZING! She is filling out so much, becoming more and more animated each day! What a BEAUTIFUL little girl...just like momma. I am so thrilled for you all. We pray for you all often and, seriously, check up on you EVERYDAY. God bless you all. Continue to get stronger...praying for your continued health and for the day when Gwyneth can come home! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

  10. I love this picture because of the little smirk on her face as if she is thinking haha everyone look at me!! PRICELESS!!

  11. So cute! I am curious how "old" she is? As in, how old do they expect her to act. I know premies are considered younger than they really are...so is she technically only considered a few weeks old since she is just past her originally due date?

  12. Super cute picture! Too bad nothing yummy comes out of thumbs. (My baby wishes that too)

    ReplyDelete

  16. Adorable! But be careful, this is a very, very difficult habit to break!

  17. I haven't commented in quite a long time but I still follow your story almost daily. The thing I have loved SO MUCH about your most recent posts, though, is that there has been an easygoing pride in their tone concerning your little girl. I love that things are settling to enough of a degree that you are just relishing in all those memorable milestones and enjoying your little girl doing what little girls do. I love you being the proud Momma and Daddy, bragging on all her latest accomplishments just because it makes you happy. God TRULY DOES give us the desires of our hearts and your latest posts are quite evident of it. Continued blessing on you all!

  21. So adorable!! My youngest started sucking his thumb at about 4 weeks old. My husband hated it and wanted me to take his thumb out whenever I saw it, but he would spit his pacifier out and suck on his thumb. I'd wake up and he'd be asleep in his bassinet with his little thumb in his mouth. FInally we learned he would suck it even if we pulled it out of his mouth 1,000 times. He is two and is still a thumb sucker.

    All that to say--I have a soft spot for pics of babies sucking their thumbs!

  22. Gee. Cutest pic EVER!!! I have heard that thumbsucking IS a sign of genius!!
    (Um-well, my daddy said it was...I sucked my thumb so he must have been right! ;)
    She is absolutely adorable and looks so very healthy and good! What a miracle God has been giving us to watch. Thanks again for sharing Nate and Tricia. Hope you are having a great weekend.
    God Bless you all

  24. That picture is SO cute! My cousin had twins in December - and one of them has found their thumb - the other is still looking for his - ha! ha! It's so cool to watch them discover new things!

    Hope Tricia is doing well....

  45. A baby who sucks the thumb is a happy and contented baby. AND YES, very , very smart!! This is an unbiased and professional opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Aww that is precious. Both my daughter were thumb suckers. I have a ultrasound picture of my first daughter sucking her thumb before she was even born....

    She is growing like a champ!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I love the picture! Simply Precious!

  48. That is one of my most favorite pictures of her so far on the blog. How adorable!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Nate... I don't usually comment on your blog, but I certainly read it every day.

    Love the picture! My little girl started sucking her thumb as soon as we stopped swaddling her at 3 months.

    It's amazing to see how huge Gwyneth is getting now! She'll be rockin' and rollin' soon enough!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Just to let you all know! She can suck her thumb until her teeth come in and in most cases until about 2-3 without fear of braces. Ask your pediatricians. That is an old wives tail from Dr. Spoks era. She looks cute and happy let her be. I think she is so beautiful. GOod Job guys!

  51. Adorable, and she's getting so big!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Heavens, that is the most beautiful picture ever! You have yourself a looker there!

  54. My absolute favorite picture of her to date. She is such a smiley little one - must be lovin her life.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Wow, that is awesome! She is getting close to 4 months old and that is the age when my daughter started sucking her fingers. I'm so excited about the progress Gwyneth is making and she is so cute. I can't believe how big she is getting. I can't wait for her to be big enough to take home.

  57. I find babies are so cute when they suck their thumb. Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. :D

    ReplyDelete
  58. Awww! A thumb-sucker! Sweet! She's so cute doing that! I was a thumb-sucker for a looooonnnnngggg time and stopped really late... (think 9 years old...good thing I finally was able to quit with the help of some bitter nail polish for thumb-suckers...the first night of sleep was so restless, I remember). I'm sure Gwyn won't be sucking her thumb that long! :-)

    Thanks for sharing,
    Marissa

  59. How cute. I hate when people yank their thumb out of their mouth. They work so hard to get that thumb in there and finally....ahh..nirvana...and then some heartless adult rips it right out. Or paints it with bitter stuff. So mean. Gwyneth is looking great!

    ReplyDelete
  60. I check in on your blog regularly and this is by far the sweetest picture you have posted thus far! Go Gwyneth, and Congrats Mom and Dad!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Adorable! What a great shot...great timing!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Oh, so cute...my baby girl that waits to come home in Haiti is a little thumbsucker too, and so was her mama..... :) I agree with the genius comment...

    ReplyDelete
  63. I love when babies suck their thumbs! It's so cute!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Seriously, thumb-suckers are the best babies...not like yours isn't already astounding! Our 3rd was a thumb-man, and occassionally still is when under the weather, and he always seemed to be so self-contented & pacified. We never had to worry about losing him thumb or finding the right, color-coordinated pacifier clip, etc...so congrats & don't mind the old wives tales about thumb-suckers, instead praise the Lord for her healthy thumb! He'll take care of the rest. I'm so happy that you caught the picture in time! Very precious!! By the way, can't help but to notice as Gwyneth fills out, she seems to be looking a little more like a Kershner...but still undeniably a true Lawrenson! Still praying for you all daily!
    Love & prayers,
    Jo & the guys
