First Birthday
Posts
10 months old
I took some pictures today of Miss Fin....who is now (can you believe it) 10 MONTHS OLD. It's kind of crazy how fast this year has gone, and I'm sitting here shaking my head, thinking about how in less than 2 months time we'll be celebrating her first birthday. Crazy. My little Fin has been such a great blessing to our family. She is like a whirlwind - constantly moving, most of the time vocal, and always loving. She screams, she complains, she does what she wants LOL She's my little spitfire. She gives me a run for my money, but I would be utterly lost without her. Love her to pieces, my little Finley girl :)
Teeth
THIS is teething. Sloppy, drippy, constant DROOL. Cute little teeth poking out from the gums. Fin now has four teeth, top and bottom middle two. She has two more trying to come out on the top, hence the renewal of drool from her mouth. It's not a fun time for her to be sure, but she is getting her teeth a lot faster than her older brother ever did!
Eight Months Old!
Time is FLYING by! Little Miss Fin is now EIGHT months old. Yep! Can you believe it? Look at her! She is now crawling around EVERYWHERE, still tries to stand up all the time and walk while holding on to things, and can say the words Mama, Dada and GO! Such a smart little cookie :) Love her to pieces!
Finley - 6 Months
I am lucky enough to know, and count as a friend, one pretty awesome photographer :) Heidi Lawson, of Wishful Thinking Photography . I absolutely LOVE her style, and I think she captures my children in the most amazing way. Just look at some of the shots she took of Finley, to celebrate her being 6 months old.....these are my favorite ones....
7 Months Old
Yep, it's true. Seven months ago today I was in the hospital, cuddling the most adorable little girl :) Here she is today, my chunky little monkey!
Sitting Up!
Seriously. This little girl is reaching milestones WAY faster than I've been expecting. It's like all of a sudden, one day, she can do something new that I've never seen before! This week, she's been sitting up. Mostly on her own, sometimes needing to lean back and rest on me. But her back and stomach and whatever other muscles she uses to sit up, sure are getting strong. Look at this video I recorded of her this afternoon. She's barely 5-1/2 months old! Crazy!
4th Tooth!
The 4th tooth is now OUT! It was super wiggly last night...and this morning, over a bowl of oatmeal....out it came! Take a look at the video below for Jem's "explanation" of today's big event!
Tooth Update
Two days later, Jem lost his SECOND tooth.....on the bottom, right next to the first one :) It was wiggly and wobbly, and with enough tongue pushing it came right out! Another visit from the tooth fairy might have been the motivation to rush getting this one out haha!!
IT'S OUT!!!!
His very first tooth...........loose for months now..............is FINALLY OUT!!! It happened only a few minutes ago :) and yes, already I'm blogging about it haha!!! He's been waiting for this for sooooo long.....whooo hoooo!!!!! His tooth is in a baggie under his bed, awaiting inspection from the tooth fairy; and attached is a note asking if we could please keep the tooth since "mom" wants to scrapbook it haha!!!! I wonder what the going rate for a fairy visit is these days.....
The bike is CONQUERED!!!!
He got this bike for his birthday from our friends The Bakulas....his 4th or 5th, I can't remember exactly. But I do remember the number of times he's ridden it - because it's the same number of times I've ridden it!!!! ONCE. He never rode it with training wheels, instead preferring to ride his jeep or scooter. We took the training wheels off about a year ago, and he tried riding it that one time.....and never set foot on it again. Fast forward to today......where daddy kind of tricked him into riding it once more....and to my surprise, he actually DID IT and HAD FUN doing it!!!!! Yay for you Jem, at the age of 7 you conquered the bike! Check him out on the video below :)
