Gabriel Mitchell

The smaller noisy one.

Smiling and Sucking

How eating our hand makes us happy

26th January 2008 - 0:01 - Bob

Today Gabriel is THREE months old. In the past month he has started to smile properly - he likes having his cheeks and chin tickled, but when nobody is around to do that he is satisfied with sucking his own hand/fist/fingers.

Please don't turn into a freaky finger sucking baby.

He has also started being a little more happy generally - although he is still prone to fairly frequent (but shorter) bouts of screaming for no apparent reason.
