Opposable Thumbs

Adam loves his binkie.

Tessa is not as much a fan of pacifiers, but the boy will happily suck away for hours. He's sort of like Maggie on the Simpsons.

The other night, I noticed that his binkie had dropped out of his mouth. Usually when this happens, he starts yelling for either the Missus or myself to reinsert it. This night however, he was trying to put it back in himself. He tried, mouth agape, to roll over on it several times. When that didn't work, he tried to flip it into his mouth by slapping at it. Then it looked like he was trying to construct some elaborate Rube Goldberg device using some of the plastic toys that hang down from the Gymini Gym, but that may have been my imagination.

Once he discovers that he has opposable thumbs, he's going to be something!
