Eight is Great

Finn turned eight months on Saturday. The greatest miracle of all is that finally after eight long months he is starting to sleep through the night. He has two bottom teeth and is working on one for the top. One of his favorite activities is scooting around on the floor until he finally reaches whatever he's not supposed to play with. Even when he is surrounded by baby-friendly toys, somehow he manages to crawl over the heap and head straight for something he shouldn't have. It looks like it might be time to think about baby proofing. And as you can see from the outtakes below, the monthly photos are getting a little harder to capture.

A Walk in the Park

Finn recently spent a great day hanging out with his buddy Olivia. They went to the park, fed the ducks and watched Lacey and Max act like crazy dogs. The highlight was when Jamie and I were snapping photos like the Paparazzi while Finn and Olivia took turns sucking on the camera cases.

Finger Foods

Finn has started eating finger foods. He likes Cheerios, bananas and little puffs. But, he seems to like leaves the best.

Nap vs. Peek-a-Boo

Today when Finn was supposed to be napping he discovered Max laying beneath his crib. I think Max thought that he was "on guard," but Finn thought it was hysterical. He kept peeking over his bumper pad to see Max.

A good mom would have put Finn back to sleep, but I thought it was so cute that I had to stop and take pictures. Finn will not take a nap again (most likely tomorrow), but who knows when he will play peek-a-boo with Max again.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water

One tooth, two tooth, red fish, blue fish

It looks like Finn's first tooth was getting a little lonely, so it invited a friend to the party. Look very carefully and you can see two pearly whites peeking out in this photo.
