May 2020 iPhone dump

May is always a busy month for us, between Mother's Day, Fox's birthday, my birthday and the end of the school year, there is barely a dull moment. It seems like just yesterday to me, when in reality, two months have passed already. I bought this little kiddie pool when Fox was about Finn's age. I remember we used it twice and it has since been in a box in our shed. I thought it would be a great idea to pull it out for Finn and suddenly remembered why we didn't use it much. He had fun for a day or two in it though. This must have been one of the first times this summer that he went in the pool and the water was freezing. He always wants me to come in, but I told him his birthday is the first possible day I would brave the cold water. Now it's July and the water feels like a bathtub...just right for me! We got two of these floats for like $18 each at Costco and it was the best purchase ever. He loves to jump from the edge of the pool onto the fl...

Finn | 22 Months

Finn is 22 months old! Say what? This was probably the hardest and most annoying photo shoot ever. I'm glad when we are finished in two short months. He is getting to the age where he just freezes up for strangers (although our photographer is clearly not a stranger) and he was mostly interested in throwing the legos at me.  His favorite words this month are "bobula" (which can stand interchangeably for lollipop or popsicle) and "momula" (which is his version of marshmallow). He will wake up and the first thing he asks for is one of those. He is very attached to me lately and doesn't like it when I leave the room for a minute, he will come find me and pull on my shirt and says "come". He loves board games and I'm surprised how many games we have that he can actually play (we don't take the rules too seriously), like Pop up pirate, connect 4, fishing game or hungry hippos.  He still loves to listen to Pink in the car, which is my ...
