Finn - 6 Months Old

Finn just had his 6 month check up, yes, I realize he is already seven months old, going on 8.  We’ve had some issues with reoccurring ear infections so his appointments have been jumbled around.  I really should be receiving frequent flier miles for as often as we go to the doctor, or maybe just a front row parking spot.

Finn, at 6 (or 7) months old you:

*Weigh 17.3 lbs (25%) and are 26 inches tall (25%)

*Wear size 12 month clothes and a size 3 diaper.

*Think your sister is the bee’s knees!  You giggle at everything that she does, often times egging her on to do something even naughtier than she is already doing.

*Are army crawling all over the house.  Your favorite thing to go after is the remote control – typical male behavior!  You will worm yourself all around the living room chasing where ever we put it.

*Can get yourself on your hands and knees and rock back and forth.  You will be crawling shortly.

*Love going outside to watch your sister play.  Often times you find yourself in the line of fire, those darn squirt guns! 

*Are a great eater, you are eating us out of house and home.  Again, typical male.  You love your orange food -  carrots and sweat potatoes.  You are not so fond of the greens.  I guess you do take after your mamma.

*you are developing such a fun personality.  We love your belly laughs, they make even the worst days some of the best days!

Love you Big Guy!

Playtime Antics

Gamma always says that you can relate a two year olds behavior to how they will act when they are teenagers.  If she is even close to being correct we are in for it.  Or should I say dad will have his hands full.

As we were playing outside today I didn't know whether I should grab my camera or grab the two year old who had ripped off her shirt and was running down the street half naked.  All while screaming with laughter and yelling "chase me mom".

I decided to go after the two year old so I don't have a picture.  Too bad!

A Belgian in the Making

We are going to make Papa proud with this one!

I guess someone was thirsty.

Easter in Wisconsin

We spent Easter in Wisconsin this year.  The weekend was filled with lots of food, good times with family and a trip to Grandpa Richard's farm for Olivia.

Olivia made sure she was in the spot light the majority of the time.  I'm sure this surprises no one.  She insisted in singing all the songs she knew one after the other.  After each song we did have to stop to give her a round of applause while she jumped up and down and screamed "YAH".

The Easter Bunny paid a visit Sunday morning, leaving Easter baskets for the kids.  Olivia's was filled with pool toys, squirt guns, a stuffed cat, and chocolate of course.  Olivia's favorite item was the squirt gun.  That little girl has good aim!

Poker Face

Olivia perfected her poker face this weekend while playing cards with Uncle Tom, Aunt Tina and all the kids.

Being Sick

Being sick isn't fun but we can still play tricks on mom!
