Houston, we have a thumb sucker! Okay, well, when I got Ollie out of the last night, he was sucking his thumb, but it hasn't seemed to be a habit quite yet. Unlike many other parents, Marshal and I have been praying for our babies to find their thumbs so we can stop playing the pacifier games. You know, the constant dropping , cleaning, replacing of pacifiers can get really old. Quincy sucked her thumb and it was so wonderful. We "broke" her of it in one night for good, so it never became an issue. Anyway, I am hoping he continues to use his little 'ole thumb for some time. Miley has found hers too, but she prefers to chew on them :)
We also have some roll overs finally, for better or worse. Ollie has been working on it for the past few days and finally has it down. He automatically flops over now. Miley is a little less interested although she did it three times in a row next to Grammy on the couch last night. Grammy swore she was doing it completely on her own, but I'm not convinced. There seemed to be a little help from the decline on the couch cushion :)
Lastly, Quincy hit a milestone as well. Tonight, she decided to pull out her ruled tablet and write the entire alphabet (on her own) both upper and lower case letters as well as numbers 1-9. Until lately it has been like pulling teeth to try to get her to practice her letters, so we were very enthusiastic about it.
All these things happened when we were at my parent's rental cabin in Sedona for the weekend. More pictures/stories to follow about that weekend (which was fun of course) but I had to make sure to note these things before I forgot. Oh yeah, and all 3 kids slept past 7 am today as well! That was a miracle in itself!
