Oops! 2 months later…
In
the insightful words of Sophie…“What am I doin’ here?”
Finn, 5 months (October):
So
this month Finn got his first 2 teeth. Yep, two (2). I
cried. That pretty much means he’s not a
newborn anymore. That’s not okay. I want him to stay little forever!
This
month I took the kids to Clarkston/Lewiston to meet the family. Since my cousins both have babies really
close to Finn’s age, I couldn’t wait any longer to meet them and have them meet
Finn. Of course, of all the things I forgot, I forgot my camera. *sigh* But maybe my cousin will send me
copies of the pictures she took (hint, hint) so I can post them here soon.
I
bought the Johnny Jump Up for Sophie but she didn’t really care for it. Finn on the other hand thinks it’s great and
especially likes it when I tighten up the strap so he can swing in it.
You
know, before I had kids I swore I’d never dress my kids alike. I used to think it was dorky, but it’s just
so cute! And, WowZa,
what a great picture coordinating outfits make!
Plus, I’m just a little proud that I made their outfits.
Sophie
and Finn went as Dora the Explorer and her little monkey friend, Boots, this
year for Halloween. While I did make
Sophie’s costume—including the wig—I can’t take credit for Finn’s ADORABLE
Boots costume. My mom made his costume. I think he makes the cutest monkey I have ever
seen! Oh, I want him to stay this little
forever!
Here
I go again…more photo shoots. I just can’t
help it. The kid smiles so I want to
take his picture. He’s just so happy!
Sophie
really likes to hold her baby brother.
She often says, “He’s so cute, isn’t he?” and, “He’s a little boy…oooh.”
Finn, 6 months (November):
Finn
had his 6-month well baby check up. The
doctor is really pleased with his growth and development. I’m a little worried he’s on the skinny
side. He’s awful long and stringy. Not really a football player build any more…more
of a basketball player now.
I
think that 3rd tooth is coming in soon. He sure is slobbery!
He
is really fascinated with the kitty. And
the kitty is so good with him. There’s
no way
Finn’s
Grandma—the same one who made his costume—made his baby quilt. Wow, she’s crafty! Finn and kitty approve! Mommy does, too! Way to Go, Gmom!
Here
we go again…another photo shoot. This
one has a great ending, though.
Oh,
I know, Finn, you don’t want to play this anymore but just 1 more shot…
Pi-yow! There it is!
The money shot!
Watch
out, mate! There’s a Drooly
Monster on the loose and he’s got wild hair that sticks up all over the place, two
snaggly sharp teeth, a crazy look in his eye and he
bites the heads off crocodiles!
