Wii or Not to Wii

We've been talking about whether or not we should get a Wii or not. Then I saw how much fun Finn was having with a basket from his room and I decided that what we really need is more imagination. He was having so much fun. He even convinced Max to get in on the action.

Finn 1.5

When Finn turned 18 months I decided to revisit his monthly pictures from the first year and add one to the collection. It's hard to believe that the same little squishy baby that couldn't hold up his head or the teddy bear is the same kid that couldn't hold still and wanted to launch the bear across the room. It seems like every day is a new day of learning and discovery with Finn. He says new words all of the time and seems to become more and more capable. Just like those during those first months we amazed by the little things. Then it was amazing when he smiled or rolled over. Now it is when he uses his spoon and fork or goes to find his own shoes. The past year and a half has been a wild ride, but we are looking to the next several years to come.

Photos Not Available

I guess my dreams of becoming a photo journalist won't come true after all. We've lost or perhaps misplaced our only working camera. So some of the cute moments missed since the camera has gone MIA have been:

1) The trip to the zoo where if a camera would have been available you would have seen Finn riding a giant wooden elephant, eating ice cream and of course lots of photos of miscellaneous live animals.

2) Gibbeny's 2nd birthday party where there would have been photos of kids and adults playing with all varieties of bubble makers in the Karcher's back yard.

3) Sophie's 1st birthday party where we would have captured images of kids hyped-up on delicious cake running laps around the Kaz's house. Finn particularly loved running around the balcony they have on the 3rd floor and playing on Lilly's bed.

Here's hoping that we find the camera soon and the photos can speak for themselves.
