Christmas!

Christmas Eve

What a great night we had! We went to dinner with Cindy, Tom, and Tom's 2 daughters, Tayler and Maddie. They love Finn and it was nice to have 2 babysitters so we could enjoy our meal!

Notice any similarities?

We were watching PBS this morning and I swear I saw a familiar face...




AND...they both love bananas and getting into things they aren't supposed to...go figure!

you scared us little guy!

We're home now after a couple of days at the children's hospital. Finn caught the stomach flu and just couldn't seem to kick it, so we took him to the urgent care center at the children's hospital here. Turns out, he needed a little TLC at the hospital for a few days, some fluids via IV, and some rest. He was dehydrated amongst a few other ailments and now seems to be exhausted, but on the up-swing. AND very happy to be home. David and I are both now recovering from the stomach flu, but we're a happy family otherwise. :) Here's Finn watching Yo Gabba Gabba and enjoying his first meal of cheerios at the hospital...he was very entertained! Yo Gabba always makes him feel good!

Naughty or Nice?

Nice, of course! Looks like someone is waiting for this giant santa stocking to be full...sorry, Finn, but you have one more week to wait! My mom sent this very...ah, large...stocking for Finn. He loves the santa face and points at it and hugs it as he makes his many trips around the house and down the hall.

hee hee hee...happy wednesday

Birthday Party Pics

The party was so much fun! Finn enjoyed opening his presents and eating his cake. He was a little cranky around cake time, but we kept him up past his bedtime. The cakes that Holly made are crazy amazing...I can't thank her enough. Finn loves his new toys, I had to put him to bed with his yo gabba gabba guitar (because he wouldn't let it out of his grip) and he played for about an hour with it (trust me, we heard it through the monitor)...and then woke up and played with it all day...(yes, we are already annoyed by it)...but, as long as he loves it, we will tolerate it! Happy early birthday, Finn.

you missed a spot...

With Christmas around the corner, I've been checking out tons of toy catalogs. It really drives me crazy that all of the "domestic" toys (kitchens, irons, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, etc.) are pictured with little girls in action. Imagine my delight that Finn has a new set of favorite play items...the swiffer, broom, and mop! He absolutely LOVES getting these out and actually pushing them back and forth. What a proud mommy I am! Why do only the girls learn housework through play??? Not this little guy, he's a hard worker.

It's starting...

The 1st snow has fallen...what is a cripple to do? I had to use my crutch to dig out my car...bleh. Luckily, no ice. I wouldn't even leave the house for fear that I would slip and do more damage!



Silly little boy couldn't move his arms in his winter coat...totally cracking me up. Yes, his new car seat is facing forward...don't tell anyone...he's almost a year (shhhhhhhh).
