My Once Upon a Time...

Weight: 17lbs 3oz. (11%) Height: 27.5 inches (17%) Health: Luckily he was healthy all month long! Nicknames: Finny, Finnegan, Bubbas, Handsome, Beef, Big Beef, Honey, Big Boy Eating: He's breastfeeding every 3-4 hours during the day and more sporadic at night. I'm so glad I don't have to pump like I had to do with Fox, I hated pumping. The bad part about that is though, that he won't take any bottles, so I can't be away from him for more than 4 hours. I'm glad we made it as far as we did and I'm hoping to breastfeed him until a year.  He's still somewhat picky when it comes to regular food, he's a huge fan of carbs...wonder where he got that from (me)! Sleeping: This month he slept through the night five times in a row. The first night I was shocked when I woke up at 4am and realized he hasn't woken up. After the 5th night, I thought "this is it, now he's sleeping through the night...

Finn is 40 weeks old! Man, that kid makes me so happy, he's seriously such a sweet and easy going baby! I call him "little doggie"

The days are (sometimes) long, but the years are short!

My monthly phone picture dump is one of my favorites, because it forces me to look back at all the pictures I took that month. A lot of time I snap pictures in the moment and then I never go back to look at them until I start writing this blog, and it's always a great reminder of all the fun we had. We met one of Fox's friend at Skyzone one afternoon. I remember he told me that he didn't want to go there when we pulled up and then I couldn't get him out after our time was up.  I was so proud of him when he mastered this rope ladder! Some mornings look like this. And in case you're wondering...no, I don't get any sleep if they all sleep with me.  This hummingbird built himself a nest right on top of our string of outdoor lights. So cute! You know you have great friends when they pick oranges from their yard just for you and drop them off at your front door - just because. Aunt Ashlie took Fox to his "Daddy and me...
