The Hunt for the Thumb

We've been using a pacifier since Belle was 10 days old. She was cranky, and we thought the pacifier would help. It did and has worked wonders for the last two months. The pacifier sometimes falls out. Most of the time, this is when Belle laughs or cries or simply when she falls asleep. When it happens, she starts trying to put her whole hand in to replace the pacifier. She's getting her hand to her mouth, but she has yet to figure out that her hand is too big for her mouth. We know soon though she's going to figure that her thumb fits into her mouth and that it's good for sucking. We have to stop that. The battle for sucking supremacy is being waged and we want the pacifier to win.
