Latest 40's

Well, here y'go....


Height: 30 inches


Weight: 27 lbs 12 oz


Head Circumference: 18.75 inches


He's off the charts as far as weight and head circumference ("Heed! Pants! Now!"); his height, or length, is in the 95th percentile. So he's still a very big dude and very healthy. Yay!


Apparently, having a head circumference that's more than half your height is totally normal for giant little dudes; go figure.


Love to all....

9 Months and Rockin'!

Just wanted to post a few pix of the boy; nothing witty, just thought folks might wanna see something new and spectacularly cute. Special thanks to his Gramma G for snapping these when she was last here; she also kindly provided the shot of him up top.


9 month check-up is tomorrow, so everyone keep your fingers crossed. We'll be sure to post his latest 40's as soon as we can. 


Hope everyone's well, and enjoying the change in seasons. For some of you, I guess that means going straight from summer directly into winter without any fall whatsoever, but here's hoping some of you are enjoying the first whiffs of wood-fire, fantastical foliage and one of the best sounds ever: the shisss-shisss-shisss of feet sweeping through dry, fall leaves. Mmmmm.... The best!


Carve happy!


ps: oh, yeah, and he crawls now! hide the women and children....

Bundled up

I know, I know, two posts in 72 hours? Impossible!


But it's true!!


Finn and I went for a walk in the 44 degree weather this afternoon and his Mom insisted he be well-bundled. The results were way too cute not to pass along....

Just Finn Bein' Finn...

Wanted to get a few more pics up on the Report so everybody could see their favorite Goober. Life here in NoVa has been pretty good for Finn and his fam lately; Fall is here and that means all kinds of good stuff. The weather is getting crispy, Finn's cheeks are getting ruddier on his walks, leaves and acorns are dropping into his stroller, squirrels are going bonkers getting ready for winter (no end of amusement) and we even made it out to a local orchard for pumpkins, apples, gourds and farm animals. 

Finn is doing well, sitting up, rolling and pivoting all over the house, thinking about crawling and practicing his standing in preparation of (dare we say it?) walking! We installed our first baby-gate (wish I'd studied more engineering...) and Finn's enjoying more and more solid foods. Well, maybe not solid, exactly, but definitely mushy. We head back to the doctor's office at the end of the month and we'll be sure to post his latest stats and 40-yard times as soon as we get 'em. 

Hope this finds everyone well and livin' large. You can be sure Finn is!

Wonder if I can put this in my mouth?

Yeah? And?

Finn and his chair

In his pack at Butler's Orchard. Probably waiting in line...
