Thumbsucking Afternoon with Dad

I had someplace to go this afternoon so Andrew watched Benjamin for a few hours while I went out. When I got home, I found the two guys chilling out in our comfy chair-and-a-half watching the Yankees game. Benjamin just happened to get his original outfit dirty so he had to change into his Yankees jersey for the occasion. Here they are spending some quality time together in front of the tube:

Benjamin has been a handsucker since he was a few weeks old, but just recently he discovered his thumb and now consciously sucks on it often. Here are some cute photos of him noisily sucking! He decided to go on a strike against his pacifier when he was a few weeks old and we wondered if he would become a thumbsucker instead since he has always found comfort in sucking his hands and toys. Guess we were right!
