2 Months Old!


Finn has wonderful smiles!  He was smiling away at his two month check up with Dr. Gillespie!


He's getting pretty good at holding up his head!


I'm going to take a similar pic to the one above each month.  I'll try and find my 1 month photo and get it up soon, whoops!


Goofy brother and silly sister wanted to join in on the photo shoot!


Big brother!  Wish I had eye lashes as long as his...


Can't help but love his smile and freckles.

Two Months Old Already!

Wow, little Finn is two months old!  Life is busy but I'm loving it!  Having a third baby after a four year break is just wonderful.  I was honestly a little worried about it during the pregnancy, but now I'm soaking up all this baby time.  It's sure intense!

Brooke is off to kindergarten five days a week (full days!).  I'm so glad we waited until she was six because it's very academic.  Oliver is home with me and has 1000 questions about everything on the planet (and beyond).  He is hilarious, smart and quite challenging at moments.  95% of the time he is an amazing wonderful kid to be around!  Oliver loves his brother, yet he is always trying to find ways to squish, poke or pinch him... so we can't leave them together unsupervised!

Finn is growing like a weed.  Jumping up from the 13% to the 33% in under two months.  Constant, I mean CONSTANT diaper changes.  He is a "wizzer" as my friend Pennie tells me.  Finn loves to be held.  He doesn't nap for very long, just little cat naps which makes for a challenging day if you need to get anything done.  Thankfully he sleeps good at night, five hours and then a 3-4 hour stretch.  When he smiles, his face lights up and it's just precious.

Our days include dropping off Brooke at school, heading out to a park to ride bikes, taking Oliver to preschool (two days a week), heading out to the playground after school for some more exercise, dinner, bedtime, repeat.  I have been so blessed to have some wonderful friends who are always there to support us and do things together almost on a daily basis.  Pennie and Jan (nannies to our neighbors) love to rock Finn in the afternoons so I can sneak an hour or two of cleaning at the house... but often, I end up enjoying their company instead.
