Help! Where are my hands?

So Addison had her 9 month check up this week. We have noticed lately that she has started to suck her thumb at night. We have been tempted to sew on some closed sleeves onto her sleep sac, but felt like it was child abuse so we didn't. Anna asked the Dr. this week if she had any suggestions, and the Dr. said that sewing sleeves on her sleep sac so she can't suck her thumbs was a great idea. Here is a photo of what Anna made for her. She seemed so confused at first, but slept just great with the sleeves on. Her sleep sac was soaked this morning where her hands are from her trying to suck on them, but she didn't suck her thumb last night!


Other then that Addison is a healthy 9 month old child. She is around 50th percentile in height and weight, she is right on track with all of her growth development, and all is well for her. She and Jayda both had flu shots. Jayda went first and took it like a champ, didn't even flinch. Addison on the other hand screamed and cried. We are next, I am betting that Anna will scream and cry too.

You can do it, Anna! Flu shots are not so bad. Glad to hear Addison is healthy. She's so cute. I like your sleep sac invention too. Very clever.

Don't worry, Anna. You can have a sucker when it's all over. ;)

What a great idea with the sleep sac. I'm tucking it away in my mental arsenal.
