Finn | 7 Month Update

How is it possible that Fox was JUST wearing this onesie??? Seems like yesterday and it makes my heart hurt just a little!

Weight:
16lbs 1oz.

Height:
26.5 inches

Health:
He's been perfect all month!


Nicknames:
Finny, Finnegan, Bubbas, Handsome, Beef, Big Beef, Honey, Big Boy

Eating:
Still breastfeeding every 3 hours and he also started to eat some real food. After trying purees for a few weeks and he wouldn't eat any of it, I just gave him real food, basically whatever I was eating, he was eating (minus all the sugar I have). He has been a big fan and it made me so happy to see him enjoy food.

Sleeping:
He wakes up anywhere between 6:30-7am usually and goes to bed between 7-7:30pm, depending on when his last nap ended. Sleep is still a struggle at night and most nights are such a blur to me that I couldn't even tell you if I woke up two times or five times with him. One thing that is consistent is that he always wakes up shortly after 10pm. Some nights he is having a hard time falling asleep and wakes up screaming every 20 minutes or so. I'm just rolling with it and don't stress about it. I figure he will sleep eventually and so will I. 
He naps 2-3 times a day between 30 minutes and 2 hours.


Diapers:
Size 2

Clothing:
6 Month Clothes and some 9 Month Clothes

Social:
He loves to "talk" and is just the sweetest baby ever. He is constantly smiling and laughing, especially for Fox and our dog though. He is usually fine being held by strangers, but looks at me for reassurance. 


Likes:
Bath time, being carried, nursing, chewing on his hands and fingers, his big brother, bouncer, singing, music class, rocking, smiling, getting attention, the songs "Bells are ringing", "Do Re Mi", "Let's fly a kite" and "Let's sing hello together", chewing on anything he can get his hands on, standing (while we hold him), kisses, swinging, playing with his feet, our dog, pulling my hair, dancing, my water bottle, food

Dislikes:
Tummy Time, not getting constant attention, naps...or sleep in general

Mama:
Loving every minute I get with this sweet boy.


Fox:
He still loves his baby brother and is so sweet to him, even when Finn pulls his hair. He did start to say things like "no fair" when Finn can eat something he can't because of his allergies (like eggs), which is super sad to me, he also does it when Finn stays up longer than him one night. He's been doing a lot of baby language lately and is still having accidents, so I'm always wondering if this has something to do with Finn or if this is just a phase that other kids his age go through as well. 

Fun things we did:
He attended his first Valentine's party, has playdates, saw snow for the first time, went to music class and just tagged along to whatever activity big brother had planned. 


Milestones:
He got one more tooth this month!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...
