Rose's Magical Thumb

In the past 36 hours, Rose has suddenly mastered the art of thumb-sucking! It's her absolute favorite-est thing ever. She even pulls out her penguin in order to suck her thumb instead! Now, this initially caused more frustration for her because for a time she wasn't coordinated enough to insert her thumb after she removed the penguin. But now she seems to get it!

The cutest thing is that it seemed to suddenly dawn on her that she had to open up her hands to suck on her thumb, rather than keeping her hand in a first (which only left access to her knuckles)...but she still hasn't figured out that she can close the rest of her fist once the thumb is free, so now she sucks her thumb like this:

Adorable, no? :) Just wanted to document this stage in case she has "real thumb sucking" fully figured out in the next 36 hours!
