Lily’s thumb and cuddles with Gabe.
Lily really likes her thumb, and 9 times out of 10 it’s her left thumb (Is that a preference? Will I have a lefty?). She soothes herself to sleep, or tries to eat it when she’s hungry. It’s a nice little trick she’s learned. I took a little video of her sucking her thumb in her swing – she’s pretty much asleep. But it’s cute!

I also took another video of Gabe and Lily cuddling. I was sitting with her on the couch and Gabe asked if he could hold and cuddle her (how cute!). So I handed her to him and he talked to her and patted her head. He really liked it. I snapped a small video of it, but it’s a bit dark. Also, it made me realize how squeaky both Gabe and I get when talking to babies!

Seeing this made me decide to get a little Flip. I like our camcorder we have, but it’s as old as Gabe, and not as easy to take around and whip out at a moments notice. It’s also quite the process to get the videos off it and “webify” them. I tried using the built in movie camera bits with my regular still camera, but I wasn’t to happy with how the videos turned out. So hopefully the Flip will work for us. Stay tuned!

How precious! Looks like you have a thumb sucker on your hands. I wish my little man would have done that when he was little. May have made the colic easier! I miss seeing you guys! Thanks for the videos. Its nice to see how much Gabe and Lily are growing on a regular basis. Not just the couple of visits we have a year.
