Finn ~ 24 weeks

DSC_0044

 

This week I’ve been working on getting Finn to sit up on his own a bit more in the tripod position.  Sounds easier than it is, as he prefers to always stand and when you try to get him to bend his legs he often keeps them stiff as a board!

Sunday we celebrated Griffin’s baptism. We had much of our family join with us and it was a lovely day as Greta was baptised as well. We all had brunch together afterward and Finn received plenty of attention!

Next milestone for the week, Finn had cereal! While the original photos I don’t have to post yet (as I left them at work on Thursday, and vowed not to go into work over a long holiday weekend!) here are some from other nights this week. He loves it so far. He’s quite messy but each night has finished the entire serving!

Here are some other shots from our week. Finn enjoys playing in his walker (which we use as a stationary play toy!) and he is often standing upright in it. I enjoyed a nice day home from work on Friday, so Finn, Hailey, Cameron, and Lily all enjoyed a nice group play.  There are a couple of videos – sorry for the poor quality, haven’t yet mastered how to take them very well – and then I have to edit them down so the size is small enough that I can upload them here!  Someday I’ll be better….

Finn ~ 23 weeks

Here is our bright blue-eyed happy boy. He continues to charm everyone with his baby-blues and his long and pretty hair. Strangers always comment on his long locks. Here he is laying down getting some good tummy time and enjoying some play time with daddy and Lily.

Thursday we celebrated Hailey’s 14th birthday – she loved getting some special love from Finn.

Griffin can not yet pull himself up, however, Kevin put him in this cute stand up pose. He absolutely loves to stand, so much so that it is hard to get him to sit in the tri-pod pose.  He instantly stiffens his legs and wants to be upright.

This week ended on Saturday with a nice visit from my parents for Rowan’s 2nd birthday party! Andy’s mom and dad, Di and Don, came from Canada as well. It was quite a party full of princess tiara’s, swords, and dragon tails – topped off by an awesome Dragon Cake made by Amy. Check out the littlest dragons in their party attire.

The end!

Hailey turns 14!

Our sweet and sassy Bear turned 14 today! She is really getting along pretty good.  She doesn’t hear so good but understands hand signals to come upstairs or come back inside. Bear still comes upstairs by herself.  Had a birthday party with a sprinkle donut and some new toys.  She gave Finn a big kiss when it was all done.
