Last weekend we went outside for a quick 10 minutes of play in the snow. Finn sat there and took it all in, literally, he face planted at one point! He’s on the move so much lately I figured he would crawl around and check everything out but he didn’t move one bit! Lily and Cameron love to play in the snow and ran around super fast (at least Lily!).
The rest of the week was pretty busy with work and just the normal routine and somehow I didn’t really take many photos. We are leaving for Brett & Missy’s wedding this week (yay!) so lots to do to get ready to be gone for a nice warm vacation. Friday I took Finn to the doctor to re-check his ear. He woke up at 2:30 am Thursday morning and was up for about 45 minutes (since he’s been sleeping through the night that’s the second time ever he was kind of squealing and wouldn’t fall asleep on his own) so I figured perhaps his ear infection wasn’t totally cleared up and as it turns out that was it. Glad we got him in then instead of his original re-check which was scheduled for the day we are leaving on vacation! He is on another 10 days of a different antibiotic so we are hoping it will all be cleared up by the time we have to jump on a plane. As a bonus, we got to check in on his weight and height. Our “little” man is packing on the pounds. He checked in at 19 lb 8.8 oz (33rd percentile and up from 18 lb 10 oz just 2 1/2 weeks previous!). He is 28.5″ tall (though I’m always weary of the accuracy of the height portion of the exam). He’s all about grown up food and isn’t very interested in his bottle these days. I even asked the doctor how much formula he should have a day and she replied 20-24 ounces. I think we are closer to the 20….. We’ve tried several “sippy” cups filled with water, most of which I find are extremely hard to suck anything out of (even for me) and he tries to use them a few times before he typically throws them on the floor.
If given a choice of foods, or if he spots any on your plate or on the counter, Finn points to bread and goes “mmmm”. Here he is with a little sass, telling us he’d like some bread (aka a hotdog bun!)
Here are some photos from the rest of our week. Griffin is constantly on the move. He loves to walk along everything and then just plop down and crawl somewhere further away. Today I watched him pull down his shirt and put a leaf from one of the kitchen plants down his shirt. It was rather funny! I took it out, though I don’t think he knew I did because when he woke up from his morning nap I walked in his room to find him peeking down the inside of his shirt!
Finn loves to go in and out of the castle tent in the basement. Here he is getting a bit silly:
Have a good week!
Look at him standing like a big boy! He regularly lets go of objects and stands anywhere from a second or two to nearly 10 seconds. It really is amazing to me to watch him grow and develop!
