We had a pretty uneventful week until the weekend when we traveled to Dayton to celebrate at a couples shower in honor of Brett and Missy’s upcoming wedding! It was a nice afternoon capped off with a fine dinner with the family. Finn came along for the day and saw lots of family that he hasn’t seen for quite awhile.
On occasion I spot Kevin biting on a paper towel and I’ve noticed recently that Finn loves to bunch up the burp cloth or bath towel and shove it in his face. Here’s a perfect image of the two of them doing it at once – and this is a random shot, I did not stage this!!
Finn loves to hold his own bottle so much so that you can lay him down in the pack and play or his play pen and give him a bottle and he will feed himself! I still enjoy the cuddles and so does Kevin, but he does usually hold his own bottle the entire time. He will even take it out of his mouth several times and then put it back in when he’s ready for more. It’s really kind of fun to watch 🙂 For as long as I can remember he has always brushed his fingers on things – here is a perfect example of him doing it on his own lips:
He can move around doing a combination army crawl and real crawl with his belly off the floor and moving his knees. However, he loves to stand so much that he usually only gets as far as the first object he sees and then he stops and stands up. We usually find him standing up in his crib at the end of a nap or in the morning – or at the very least on his knees. He is actually getting really good at moving around his music table or twisting 180 degrees using his feet when he is standing between objects, like the couch and the ottoman. He’s gaining new skills each day! 
The drive to work has been really pretty this last week with the sun shining on the trees along the river. I stopped one day to take a few photos. Here are a few along with some nice groups of plants in several houses at Millcreek. Things are looking good for our spring 2014 crop – I’ve captured these as I’ve been trying to get some new images for our upcoming catalog and website makeover project!
Have a great week!
