Finn | 32 weeks

Finn is 32 weeks old!

My Grandma knitted this sweater for Fox and she was so happy to see it on Finn now. Something I will always treasure.

And apparently that's all the pictures I took of Finn that week. Until next week!

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!

Finn | 31 weeks

Finn is 31 weeks old!

He's all about the food and it makes me so happy! Some days I wonder how much he actually eats vs. spills on the floor, but for now it's all about experimenting and tasting new foods and his diapers tell me that he is definitely getting some of it...yuck!

You know, just sitting on the couch holding my foot...

We built a fort and the boys had so much fun playing in it together.

Milk drunk!

Will you be my Valentine?

Last Month we were invited to our friend's Valentine's Day party. Finn got all dressed up for the occasion!

Kristy always throws the best parties, there were all kind of fun stations for the kids.

This kissing booth has been around for four years, it has transformed many times, from kissing booth to puppet theater, to pumpkin stand and back to kissing booth.

I'm definitely all heart eyes for this guy!

These ladies make me happy!

Another fun station for the kids was this baking soda/vinegar set up, they loved experimenting with this and decorating Kristy's house with so much glitter that she will probably find for another six months.

This moment right here was everything to me. Kristy had ordered pizza for everyone and made sure that Fox had his own dairy and egg free pizza. He has never been able to eat pizza with any of the kids during parties and he was so happy that he could. Seeing him so excited and eating what everyone else was eating seriously made me tear up.

After dinner, we had a dance party in Kristy's living room!

On the left we have Finn and Ella and on the right is Ella's big sister Aria with Fox (in 2015). After finding this picture of the two of them, I wish we would've made them take an updated picture in the kissing booth this year.

It was such a great afternoon and we didn't want it to end. I'm grateful for these ladies each and every day!

#TeamNoSleep

We met up with my friend and her daughter at a play place one morning.

Lennox loves Finn and even put a diaper on him (although over his clothes).

Dinner at GG's house

I love witnessing their relationship and never in a million years could've imagined how much they love each other.

I was eating a bagel and he took it right out of my hands and was so proud of himself.

Finn has a new best friend, especially when he's in his high chair. Cosie is very picky about the kind of food he will eat from the floor though.

Watching him eat makes me super happy!
