naming colors and sucking thumbs

Noah never sucked his thumb. He started loving the pacie around 6 months and didn't let it go until last week (26 months). Jude on the other hand LOVES his thumb. We've tried giving him a pacie since he was a month old. He takes his Soothie every once in a while, but really prefers his thumb. Sometimes he sucks to put himself to sleep and sometimes, like in the picture below, just for fun. I never knew how incredibly cute it looks for a baby to suck his thumb. I will just have to worry later about how to get him to stop once it's time!
my little thumb sucker
Jude will be 4 months tomorrow!!
Noah has been absorbing information so much lately! He can count to 10 (with assistance), can do 1-to-1 coorespondence with 3 objects, speak in 2-3 word sentences, anticipate sequencing in familiar books, and can now identify at least 3 colors. This video shows him naming red, blue, and green. He's still a little shaky on yellow and orange, but he's got these other 3 down. We can even ask him, "What color are the trees? What color is the grass?" And he responds, "geen". So fun!

I am so proud of both of the boys. Before long, Noah will be helping Jude learn to count,etc.
