365 Day Photo Challenge
Day 10

I remember the day he started sucking his thumb. It was a hot September day. I was driving to my parents' house and he was just NOT happy. He was always a colicky baby. He cried A LOT. We had a hard time calming him 
down most times and sometimes all he needed was a good nap! But for whatever reason he was just NOT happy on this particular day.

He was screaming at the top of his lungs (which was normal for him). I was driving and very frustrated because I could not calm him down. This crying went on for a good 10 minutes straight until....SILENCE.....

I couldn't believe my ears. He was QUIET!

As soon as I got to my parents I pulled in the driveway, got out of the car to check on him and low and behold he was sucking on his thumb! It was a miracle!

See, we had tried pacifiers and they never worked. He never liked them. 

Christian is 7 1/2 now and he's still my baby boy. He may act like a tough kid in front of his friends but deep down inside he still loves his thumb and his "bebe" (His blankie which is now just a little shredded 4x4 inch square) He still likes to cuddle and he still loves all of his stuffed animals.

He is getting so big. So big in fact that he takes up most of the couch! He's the size of an 8 year old and he wears deodorant! :( (shhh don't tell him I told you!) But no matter how big he gets he will always be my baby. And no matter how challenging he is I will always love him.
