That goes in and out with me…and his name is Fionbharr.  Since Finn started walking there is no slowing him down!  It, actually, could explain why we’re getting a good night’s sleep.  From the moment he wakes up in the morning, until he puts his head down in the crib, he goes and goes and goes!  Finn is into everything…the shine has finally worn off the dogs water bowl and now he’s moved onto the trash can.  The other day Finn obviously thought the garbage needed to be emptied because he grabbed a dirty napkin out of it and ran happily across the room with his prize.  He has mastered climbing up AND down the stairs between the dining room and the living room.  Finn has a great time trying to go down the stairs one way…backwards, and then trying another…going down sideways bump-bump style.  It continues to amaze me how he learns so quickly.  Finn is also very independent…don’t know where he gets that from 😉  I’m not sure how happy I am that we’re raising an independent child.  He lets me know when he wants my help, however, I think he’s just humoring me.
