FINN’S WORLD

Yesterday we took Finn to the aquarium for the first time.  (By the way, he’s on day 4 of his antibiotic and is soooo much better!  He is sleeping again, and eating more than just Cheerios.)  Anyways, it was actually the first time all of us had been and it was really cool.  Finn loved all of the fish and my mom was terrified of the eels.  They were pretty gross looking though.  Pics from our day below…

Looking at the fish with gma:

And with mom outside - the aquarium has an amazing view!

We had to visit the “sick child” side of the pediatrician’s office today for the first time.  Finn’s had a cough and fever all week so I took him in today.  Turns out he’s got a touch of pneumonia!  Poor little guy.  The dr. said he’s breathing kinda fast and started him on antibiotics.  Let’s hope they kick in asap because everyone in this family needs some sleep.  Grandma and Grandpa Harrison get here tomorrow (and gma is staying for 2 weeks…and no, they’re not staying with us) so I am definitely looking forward to seeing them!

Wow, halfway to 2!  This past month has flown by.  Finn’s still not quite walking - taking some steps here and there - but mostly crawling everywhere he goes.  He’s saying a few more words now - an occasional mama and dada and lots of speaking his own language.  He’s got 3 teeth, still eating lots of pureed baby food but slowly getting better on the eating thing.  We just started adding sweetened condensed milk, in addition to heavy cream and olive oil!, to lots of his food.  Seriously, how is he not a total butterball?!  Next week is his 18 mo appointment so hopefully he’s gained some weight.  Here’s a few pics from the past few days…

Standing…no hands!

Mashing his face against mine - he does this to us all the time.  His version of kissing maybe?

Happy 18 months baby…we love you!

Hola!  Noah’s been working like crazy lately - like every weekend this month - so Finnster and I have been trying to stay busy.  Yesterday it rained all day so we headed downtown to the New Children’s Museum.  A lot of the stuff was for older kids but they had a really cute Barn Dance area for the little guys - animal books, animal toys, lots of music and lights.  Finn had a blast…

 

He was in awe of the older kids:

Finn thinks he has figured out the baby gate.  This morning he tried squeezing under it (it’s a few inches off the ground to go over the moldings) but his head got stuck!  Is it mean that I was taking pictures of this?!

 

We go to the eye dr. this Friday so pray for no glasses - at least not yet! 

Happy Friday dudes!!

Another weekend…another 1 year old birthday party.   We went to Emmy’s party yesterday - actually got a pic of all the kiddos lined up.  Here they are - Cash, Roman, Emmy, Finn and Ava.  Look at Finn checking out the birthday girl!

Me and my buddy:

This morning we went out to breakfast but stopped at the beach before to watch the waves.  Here’s Noah and his mini-me:

Happy birthday Grandma Molly!!  xoxo

It feels like this guy has been “almost walking” for weeks now.   He’s getting braver and braver, taking 5,6,7 steps between me and Noah.  He loves pushing his scooters around outside - he can finally keep up with them.

Just cruising down the street.  Later, mom!

About 2 seconds after I took this picture he tumbled face first over the top of the scooter.  Stupid grass.

Hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day weekend.  We definitely did…we went to Little Italy on Saturday night for a festival and had a blast.  We ate at a restaurant with Finn which is something we don’t do often.  For a reason.  But everything went surprisingly smoothly.  Our neighborhood is full of kids Finn’s same age and we all got together this afternoon for a little Valentine’s party.  The kids all gave each other little cards and candy, it was really cute.  Here are a bunch of pictures from the weekend…

Dinner started off great…

Aww, even got a family picture:

And things pretty much went downhill from there…

Went to the beach this morning (it is hot here!) and practiced some walking - he’s getting close:

 

Then we put on our flair and hit up the party:

Happy Valentine’s Day!  xoxo

Finn goes from 100 miles an hour to this in about 2 seconds.  He’s seriously good at napping…
