Alex found his hands

In the last week or so Alex has discovered his hands. He likes to suck on them really vigorously and loudly. If he's lucky, he'll get a finger or thumb in his mouth, but most of the time it's his whole fist. This is a great step in his development as he can sometimes soothe himself when he gets upset. At night we now swaddle him with one or both hands out, and so far he has slept well like that.
