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 go to whenever he gets fussy, He used to be a great car rider, but he is getting really mad now when I try to put him in and yells "OUT" the entire time we are driving. 
He loves Fox more than anything (he calls him brother) and it's so amazing to see them play together (which isn't all the time, but when they do, it makes my heart so happy - and I get stuff done! Win/win!). He asks to sleep in my bed every single night ("Mama's bed?") and knows all of his colors in german. His favorite songs right now are "Lollipop", "Happy Birthday" and "Backe backe Kuchen" (german song) and he will either ask me or Alexa to sing/play them. Speaking of Alexa, whenever I set a timer and the timer goes off, he yells at her "Alexa, OFF". I couldn't believe it the first time he did it, he is so funny.
He loves to play hide and seek, he eats all day long and requests that I make him pancakes every day, he loves to help me make smoothies, he is mischievous, funny and sweet. He is a total cuddler and I'm soaking up every minute of that. He is a parrot and will repeat everything that Fox says, including "Darn it!" and "Oh my god". He also went on the potty for the first time this month! 
I just can't believe he'll be two soon! Too soon, too soon!

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...
