Lilly is gaining more control over her arms and hands each day. This past week we have caught her with her thumb in her mouth on several occasions. We are hoping she finds her thumb so that we can get rid of the pacifier, but we need to stop swaddling her first! I’ve tried several times but she still wakes herself up and won’t go back to sleep with both arms up….maybe it will be a bit easier in another week or two?
Update: I’ve been trying to swaddle her with her right arm out. Today she cried when her pacifier fell out right away but then fell asleep with her thumb in her mouth! It didn’t work the second, third and fourth times she woke up, but at least we’re heading in the right direction!

Maybe if you swaddled her with just her right arm out. I've noticed that the right arm is the favored arm in all her reaching, etc. That may work.
