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...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha. 

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha.  Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night.  Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...
