when i put maddie down for a nap, i like to be cheek to cheek with her and sway back and forth gently, just getting her down to that calm and quiet stage. after a bit, she will stick her thumb in her mouth.

when she sucks her thumb, her four little fingers stick up.

recently, as im cheek to cheek with her, those 4 little fingers end up touching my lips, dancing about.

her fingertips are soooooo soft and sooooo tiny. i try to stifle my laugh as she does this while still sucking her thumb.

you have not lived until a babies fingers have played the piano on your lips.
