That thumb

I've tried to give Hunter a soother a few times (he's not particularly fond of being strapped into his car seat, so that's often when we try), but he doesn't want anything to do with it. Instead, he seems to like sucking on his thumb. Over the past few weeks, it's been pretty funny to watch him try and actually get his thumb into his mouth. He poked himself in the eye, the nose, the chin ... everywhere except his goal! Well, yesterday he found his mouth and spent a few minutes in this position. It still looks pretty awkward because he kept poking himself in the eye with his other fingers. I'm not really keen on him continuing with thumb sucking for a long time, but so far, he just sucks on it for a minute before he falls asleep and then his hand falls out of his mouth. Not sure what we'll do if he wants to start sucking on his thumb all the time...
