When Finn was itty bitty he never showed much interest in the water and bath time. Once he was able to sit up on his own, though, it was a different story. Getting him out of the bath and ready for bed is quite a feat. He enjoys filling up his cups and helping himself to a little drink. Recently, for his birthday, he got bath crayons. HE LOVES THEM! If I could get him to stop eating them, I’d be happier with them.
I don’t wanna go to sleep, having too much fun!
Happy 1st birthday, Fionbharr! Finn had a busy couple of days celebrating his birthday. Nannie, Finn and I spent his actual birthday at PB& Jack, it’s a play place for kids. He loves to run around and play with all the toys and see the other kids. I don’t know who had more fun, though, Nannie or Finn! She watched in amazement as Finn tried to take a bouncy ball from a little boy that didn’t want to share. He just pushed his way through and got what he wanted.
Friday we stayed with Nannie and Grandpa so we could get ready for Finn’s party. To my amazement Finn went right to sleep after his bath and slept the entire night.
We were up early and began getting the decorations put out. Mom and I had been shopping the day before, so all the food was ready. Now, just decorate and party!
Finn certainly was the life of the party. At one point I realized I hadn’t seen him in awhile. He was just walking around saying hi to everyone and swiping treats from the table. It’s as if he knew we were all there for him. He showed his cousins all his toys and was showing Violet how to go up the stairs!
When it came time to sing and have cake, Finn just sat there in awe. He really wanted to play with the lighted candle placed in front of him. To no one’s surprise he dug right in to his cookie monster cupcake and proceeded to make a great mess. With all the excitement and all the sweet treats he had, it was no wonder the kid didn’t nap at all that day! Talk about a sugar high.
Thank you everyone for coming and enjoying Finn’s special day with us. We had a wonderful time!
With his favorite Godmother, Anne
Taking his time…
Finally, digging right in!
What a mess!
Here, Bruno, have some milk
and some cupcake
A couple weeks ago Finn and I went to visit my friend Heather at her home, Bramble Creek Farm. Since it’s about an hour away, Finn took his morning nap in the car. When we arrived, we were greeted by their huge yellow lab, Oliver.
Finn was able to get up close and personal with the farm animals! He saw chickens and ducks, oh my. Next we took a quick walk down to the pig pen! Finn was fascinated by Chunk and Baby Ruth. He wasn’t scared at all, just went right up to them with his hand out.
I guess the fresh farm air was too much for Finn, because he slept the entire way home!
Hey, where does this go?!
