Happy Half Year Birthday Finn!!!!!!!!!!

Yes - today is the big day -- Finn is 6 months old - WooooHoooo!!

We visited the doctor today for his 6-month check-up and sure enough --he's still off the charts. No surprise there. He weighed in at a whopping 22lbs 10ounces - his height is 29 inches - and his head was 18 and half inches in diameter. Needless to say - he's not a small baby.

We got the green light for baby sunscreen - yippie!! Now we can spend so much more time outdoors - and just in time for the Outerbanks next month.

We had a very busy weekend - Daddy returned from a business trip on Saturday morning just in time to meet our friends Johanna and John and their little girl Maisie for brunch. Then on Sunday I took Finn to his first baby shower -- and he played with cousins Kara and Amanda and Great Auntie Clare, Nannie and Auntie Lizzie - How Fun!!

As you can see from the pictures below -- Finn is enjoying his solid foods!! Needless to say -- laundry is now a daily chore in our house - so of course the washing maching broke last night -- there is always something!!

We hope you all are well and enjoying your summers!

Approaching 6 months!!!

Hi Gang!

Our little boy is not so little anymore -- he last weighed in at just under 23lbs!!!

Next week is his 6-month check-up so we will report all the new measurements soon.

This has been my favorite month thus far. Finn is really starting to communicate with us - and his laughs are priceless! He's sleeping through the night -- and just recently he has agreed to actually nap in his crib on occasion. That was a VERY big step for us!

He started tasting all sorts of new foods -- carrots are still by far his favorite - although squash is the second runner up. I still can't get his Daddy to try squash.

He loves bathtime -- kicking and splashing with his feet - oh so much fun!

He's facinated with our cat, Yoda. He'll stop whatever he's doing to watch Yoda slink around the room. And if he's lucky enough to grab some of that fur as he slinks by -- you can bet his tight grip won't release without help from mom or dad.

At the grocery store the other day he received his very first balloon -- it was such a treat to watch the expression on his face -- he was in awe!!!

We still haven't seen any teeth -- but we know they are coming soon.

Thought you all might like to see some recent photos --Enjoy!!!
