Finger lickin' good
Henry has always been "mouthy." From the earliest days, he'd suck on his fists whenever he managed to get them close to his mouth. Given how nice it was for Luke, I'd been hoping that Henry would suck his thumb, too.
Now that he's coordinated enough to bring his hands to his mouth at will, he still doesn't suck his thumb or fingers. He'll licks and suck on his fists, and even put fingers in his mouth, but he doesn't suck on them - it's more like gnawing. He's not particular to either hand or fingers; he'll gnaw on whatever gets there first.
In other limb news, Henry has found his feet. He likes to play with his toes when he's on the changing table. He's also adept at bringing his hands together, so he plays with his fingers, too (when he's not eating them).
