Finn | Week 3

Finn is three weeks old!
I'm already catching myself wanting to freeze time so badly, because I don't want this little guy to grow up. I just love the newborn/baby stage!

Finn on the left, Fox on the right!
The following picture cost me some smarties with Mr. Fox...totally worth it, right?
These shirts were one of my first projects on my Cricut Machine back in March and I loved seeing my boys in those.

Milk drunk and happy!

Tummy time! Surprisingly, he doesn't hate it as much as Fox did. For some reason he looks so big in this picture to me. Fox had bright blue eyes right from birth, but he seems to have dark grey and almost brownish eyes.

We met up with the entire family for dinner one night and Finn slept through it all...as usual.

This little love of mine! I'm really enjoying staying home with him every day, I remember that I was bored with Fox and went back to work after three weeks, but I'm loving it this time around and I'm so grateful that I get this time. I still work on Etsy and do a few things for our company as well, which is probably why I haven't been bored yet. 

This picture just warms my heart (and he asked to climb in Finn's crib so I could take a picture of them together, so that's a bonus!). I'm really proud of Fox and how well he has adjusted to having a baby brother, that sometimes needs attention before him. He tells me often how much he loves his baby and I couldn't be happier to hear that.

I have about 139,943 sleeping pictures of this little angel.

He is taking a lot of naps in his crib, which Fox NEVER did. We took a newborn sleep seminar when he was two weeks old and have been practicing some things at home and he has done amazing so far, even putting himself to sleep without having to be rocked or held. One night this week, he slept a seven hour stretch, before I had to wake him up, because I needed him to nurse.

Another day, another request from Fox to climb into the crib so I could take a picture of them together. He's totally pretending to be asleep in this picture...haha.


He's seriously such a sweet baby. Please don't grow up! ;)

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
