We returned from vacation late Monday night and I had the remainder of the week off work so Finn and I enjoyed a relaxing start to the day with lots of play time in his room on Tuesday morning. His room is so warm and cozy and he was loving running around in his diaper. Lately he’s been really in to feeding his dragon. Typical fare includes tractors and balls. Sometimes if he’s having trouble getting the treat to stick in the mouth of the dragon he says “mama, help”. It’s pretty cute. Kevin was up really early that morning as well, as he returned to work that day. He has been home and has gotten to see Griffin grow so much throughout the day for the past several months, and to be honest I was kind of nervous about how he would react to Kevin being gone as our regular routine is for me to get Finn out of bed and then we go find daddy together. So we lingered for awhile and had some fun, though he did miss his daddy!
Griffin has been taking really long naps this past week, anywhere from 2 1/2 hours to 4 1/2 hours! When he woke up on Wednesday around 5, I packed Finn in the car and we headed to Mansfield to help mom and dad prepare for our annual hosta seed planting adventure. We got on the road rather late and we started our visit with a nice dinner while mom ventured to choir practice. The night kind of moved along quickly, so we ended up spending the night and having a nice breakfast the next morning. Finn loved playing football with Papa and running around, dancing, and showing off for Grandma. He was smitten with a balloon that mom and dad had for a recent party at their house, so much that they gave it to him to take home – and he still carries it around each day.
The rest of our week was pretty low-key. Finn had his follow up booster shot on Friday. He was such a big boy, he didn’t even whimper or cry, just a quick jitter at first. We celebrated with a trip to Tim Horton’s and a nice large pack of timbits aka “doe doe’s”. He was super hungry by this time, and ate a whopping 6 timbits. Yikes! Brings a smile to his face to have a doe doe.
Here Finn put two of his pillows into his car for a more plush ride, lol. He was pretty excited about it.
Lily enjoyed a nice lazy nap in her bed one morning too.
And here is a video of Finn and his new ability to climb in to his bouncer and go wild. He has a pretty good time.
