Friendly Finn

I’ve noticed in the past few months just how friendly Finn is.  We enjoy going to PB & Jack so Finn can run around and play and mommy can catch her breath!  Finn will raise his arms to be picked up by just about anyone!  He loves seeing his cousins and always greets them with a smile and wants to hug and kiss them.

Lately, he will climb up into our lap and sit long enough for half a story book.  His personality is really coming through.  When we eat he always has to have a fork or two because he likes to do it himself.  Yogurt is usually reserved for dinner time since bath is shortly after!  Watching Finn do things for himself makes me so proud and sad at the same time because once I show him how to do something he’s an ‘expert’ and no longer wants my help.  Sometimes he will humor me and ask for my help, for the interaction, if anything.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Finn is now dancing and riding his new ride on dino that I got for a steal at the consignment sale!

Happy Halloween

Finn got to dress up twice for Halloween this year!  I’m pretty sure he was just humoring me…

Then we went to visit with Nannie and Grandpa on Halloween.  It seems someone has been telling Finn exactly what to do on Halloween.  He went right up to the candy bowl that Nannie set out and began picking out the candy that he wanted!  If he found something he didn’t like he picked it out and dropped it on the floor.

A few of Finn’s favorite things

Finn is turning into quite the little person with likes and dislikes…who knew?!  A few of his likes:  bath time (anything to that involves water, really!), hot dogs, string beans, looking at pictures, playing with his cousins, grapes, bananas, walking outside, finding sticks, grapes, long walks on the beach, petting all the dogs in the neighborhood, grapes, did I mention grapes?!

A few of his dislikes:  bed time, putting on pjs (any clothes for that matter!), hearing the word ‘no’, ear infections, Dr. Murphy, teething, getting his butt cover changed, getting in his car seat, saying goodbye to mommy or daddy and dancing with the devil in the pale moon light.
