Sucking his Thumb

Uncle Kyle was here to watch Alton find his thumb for the first time. He sucked for a good 5-minutes and seemed quite proud of himself for his big day-9 accomplishment. I have been documenting other firsts from week one.

• first hour: pitiful lower lip quiver
• day one: opening big to eat
• day two: smiling when we talked to him
• day three: riding in his sling
• day four: lifting his head off Mama's shoulder for about 40-seconds
• day five: making "coo" noise
• day six: sucking on the back of his hand
