Finn loves to play in the dog water bowl!

How can you get mad at him, when you say "Finn" he turns and looks at me like that? Notice all the cars and such in the food bowl, yuck! Well poor Doc he is thirsty alot because we have to put the bowls on the counter. Luckily Doc does most of his watering during the night time hours. He cut his eighth tooth today(just a reminder for me when one day I work on his baby book)

So I haven't Blogged in forever! Here is a random update!

Finn the pirate

Trying to get a snap with the boys!

Well we have been busy! These boys are hard work, but they are so cute. Finn has been sick on/off since November. He has cut 7 teeth since November 1st. Lots of snot, 2 ear infection, and 2 random viruses. Not been the healthiest winter from Finn's eyes. Finn is pulling up to his knees, trying to mock the sounds you say, giving kisses, and following around big brother. He doesn't care much for baby toys, he likes whatever Miller plays with. He has not been the best eater, rebelling baby food all together. So I have been trying to be creative with his food. He will eat the Horizon Little blends, but starting to give me a little trouble with that. His weight is on the low side with a big head. He refused breastfeeding about 8 months old and now I have been pumping for the last 2 months. He is now 10 months. He takes 4 (5-6oz.) bottles of BM a day. He sleeps pretty good when he is well (no fevers) and eats good enough. Which when he is in my care I try my hardest to get food in him. He sleeps from 8pm to 7:30, usually! He is still wearing 6-9 month and 6-12 month clothes. We had a pedi appt. yesterday for his high fever. He has a double ear infection , so now we are battling that.

Miller is just an actioned pack jabber box. He calls Finn either Tin, baby, or bubby. He wants to hold him and tries to pick him up. Finn is not a fan of that. We have been working on the potty with him. We kept him in underwear for 3 days and he does good around the house if you are constantly sitting him on the potty. We reward with m&m's. But for school 2 days/week he needs to be able to always tell them when he needs to go. Too many kids for them to go sit him on the potty all day. One day he pee-peed in his undies and held out his hand said "m&m's?" I explained that you can only get them when the pee is in the potty. Man life is so complicated for these 2 year olds. I am having to learn about undies, they are NOT panties! He tells you about poo-poo either right before or during the process. Pee pee needs some work. Enough about the potty. He is really cute and we love to hear new words and try to figure out what he is talking about.

Miller Christmas program at school

These are the twos at school. All in pajamas with reindeer antlers.

They were adorable, brought me to tears

Miller had to bring pooh bear b/c he was in his jammies!

Notice he has thrown pooh down.

Now he is pointing for one of his ladies to get pooh for him.

If you look in the previous pics the one girlfriend

is on the move to get pooh for him, he is already working those ladies.

This is a horrible pic, but he was cute!

Finn got one of his 2 front teeth, this makes 3 teeth already! Miller has gotten his first two year moller, as well. Nothing much going on. We have had the snots and colds for over a week in this house, yuck!

Finn's wish list:

my two front teeth
my brother to share with me
my brother to play with me
and lots of love and attention

Miller's wish list:

another buzz
woody
mater
another one or two lightnings mcqeens
and mama home

Hope they have been good enough this year!

Gosh, I love this Baby!

Half Smile, but wait!

Miller is not my picture boy, he is way too busy for that!


Finn being cooperative for the camera!

Cheese!!!

Aren't I cute?

Well Finn has two teeth that he got right after he turned 6 months. He is sitting alone very well and wanting things out of reach real bad (about 7 months). He giggles and smiles all the time. Cooing up a storm and has the "baba" sound down. He loves to pose for me. But did not like the site of Santa Claus, probably not next year either! We will see how those pics turn out.

Miller is busy, busy, busy! Need I say more. He goes to school twice a week for 4 hours. He has been trying to sing some of his songs from Chapel and waving his hands around. I will have to learn the songs so I can sing with him. I go to chapel sometimes, but last time he cried and wanted to sit with me. So I am taking a break. He has mommyitis bad right now. I love it, but I know the tables will turn soon enough.

When I am coming home from work Miller is usually getting his PJs on and Trevor will say "Mommies home". So he walks around saying that alot. When he wants me in his room he yells "Mommies home". Trevor picked him up from school today and the teacher said he has been saying "Mommies home" all day. He got a haircut yesterday and he was not a pleasant child. So that usually gets you a pretty rough haircut. It's pretty short, but will be perfect by the time Christmas is here! He is just talking so much and we are realizing how much he knows, its awesome. He loves Buzzlightyear and Lightning McQueen to infinity and beyond! Need I say more. He is an awesome kid!

Finn 6 months

Finn was 6 months October 24th, and this is has been a fast 6 months! Finn is eating all his cereal, veggies, and almost all the fruits. He starting to sit up rolling all kinds of ways and I am sure will be off crawling in a few short months. Big brother Miller loves him so much. He likes to lay on him and while trying not squish him to bad. He loves to put on his socks and is very interested in Finn's toys.

Finn has been sleeping through the night for about 1.5 weeks. Yeah baby boy! You continue to make me so proud. The cry it out was not near as trying with Finn. The first night we never heard a peep, the next a little more challenging. Crying it out is a little more difficult the second time b/c you don't want to wake the first child. But I believe we have accomplished our goal. we will see on the road for Thanksgiving how it holds up!

Finn has been such a blessing, he is growing well and a great happy go lucky baby. Miller and Finn's personalities compliment each other very well. We are hoping they will be the best of friends forever. Mommy and Daddy are so very proud of our 2 handsome boys and can't wait to watch them grow and continue to make us smile!
