This sucks...

Gabrielle that is. As in she sucks her thumb. She's seven months old today and it appears that we officially have a thumb sucker in the family. No amount of taking it out of her mouth and replacing it with a pacifier helps. She just takes the "binky" out of her mouth with her right hand and then in goes the left thumb. I'm guessing she'll be left handed like Grandpa Kent, Uncle Dan, and Aunt Whitney. It also appears that for the time being at least, she's going to be a blondie. Mark one point for Aunt Roxie. There have been no obvious signs of crawling, but you can certainly tell that as soon as she becomes mobile, she's gonna move. Currently, when she wants something, she lays on her belly and flings her arms and legs until she inches toward her goal. It's pretty funny.
