thumbsucking buddies

boppy boy AGAIN

boppy boy

otto is master of the art of sucking his thumb and snuggling. he loves to lay on pillows, be covered with blankets, that sort of thing. so when we brought out the boppy pillows for me to nurse selma, otto was in heaven. he is constantly saying, "i want to see selma", but i think he really just wants to lay on the boppy pillow with her. i thought he would have some jealousy issues when i was breastfeeding, but as long as there's room for him on the pillow he's content. here's a few pics (sorry for the poor quality...i'm unloaded the pictures from my phone) of him laying with selma. otto also has a thing for soft fabric. he likes to wear khakis ("they're soft") and hates corduroys ("they're scratchy") and will follow joe around when he has khakis on so that he can suck him thumb and feel the fabric of joe's pants. silly otto.

otto and selma

otto loves babies. so we figured that he'd love selma....love having a baby around 24-7. well, he definitely loves her. he's very curious about her, always asking "where's selma?" and saying, "i want to see selma". but he's also figured out that he gets attention, negative attention, for getting in selma's personal space. so....he's constantly getting in her face, trying to poke her in the eye, giving her loving/smothering hugs, etc. i think at first we thought he was still learning how to be gentle and how to give her some space. but he is very good at being gentle, he just has learned that more attention is gained when being rough with her. like today when i found him laying on top of her on the couch. he does love her though, that's for sure.
