My Once Upon a Time...

Finn is 28 weeks old! Sweet Brothers! When I checked my timehop on this day, I saw that I had finished knitting this sweater exactly seven years ago, so obviously I had to put it on him. I remember the time of my life very vividly, I would knit or crochet tons of baby clothes, hoping that some day I would have a baby to put these on...and here we are. I'm grateful for these boys every single day.  Going for a ride around the house in Fox's old push wagon. Crazy to think that Finn will almost be big enough to use it. Baby friends at music class! Everybody always comments that Finn is such a happy baby. He truly is, always smiling and just pure joy! Morning snuggles Finn refused any kind of pureed fruit or vegetable I tried to give him, but he was all over regular food. Even though I didn't plan to do Baby-Led-Weaning, he had other plans. Here he is sucking on a celery stick, he loved it. And some broccoli It does m...

Weight: 15lbs 4oz. (9%) Height: 26.5 inches (38%) Health: He thankfully stayed healthy this month, even though big brother was diagnosed with the flu and was sick for a long time. We had his 6-month check up and he looked great! Nicknames: Finny, Finnegan, Bubbas, Handsome, Beef, Big Beef, Honey. Fox also called him Finny the Pooh and I thought that was so cute! Eating: Not much has changed here. He usually eats every three hours, still around the clock. We also started him on solids a few weeks ago and so far he hasn't been a fan. We tried peas, green beans, avocados, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, bananas and carrots. I'm not sure if he is not ready or just doesn't like it, but I hope he will learn to like it! Sleeping: He still goes to bed around 7pm and usually wakes up around 6:30-7am. He's still a bad night time sleeper, some days I think I'm ready for some sleep training, others I just roll with it a...

One day I will be caught up on this blog. Today is not that day! Right after New Year's Fox got really sick. He was diagnosed with the flu and all of us (minus Finn) had to take Tamiflu. He even spiked a fever of 104.8, it was definitely the highest he's ever been and super scary. He was probably sick for a good ten days and we didn't leave the house (besides going to the doctor) for the first ten days of 2019! Talk about cabin fever!  I got the flu as well, not as bad as him though (probably because I had already started the Tamiflu) and luckily Finn didn't get sick at all. Pancakes are Life! After being stuck in the house for the first part of the month, we finally ventured out and took a little walk to the playground. It didn't last very long, but the fresh air and sunshine definitely raised our spirits! This is the kind of face I get when I ask to take a picture. I feel like this must be a "boy thing". When I watch my friend...

Finn is 27 weeks old and that means he is closer to one than he is to birth. Pass the tissues! Fox on the left and Finn on the right! I don't see much resemblance anymore, but people tell me they definitely look like brothers. He's just always so happy! He loves to swing!

This photoshoot will forever be remembered as the greatest shit show ever. Usually Fox is very good with our photographer, especially since she only takes 10 minutes and is hilarious, I'm not sure what was up on this particular day, but he was bouncing of the walls. You won't be able to tell, because as always, she still got some great shots, but man, it was a hell lot of work to get these. These were Finn's first sitting pictures...how is he this big already? My forever Valentines...crazy or not, they're mine and I love them more than anything!
