12 whole months!

It is hard to believe that Finnean is over a year old?! He is so big and brings so much laughter to our lives. I am going to do my best to fill you in on what is new with Finnean...
  • Found out Finnean is in the 3rd % for weight. He is just barely hanging on the growth charts but is perfectly healthy...but with a daddy with a nickname of Squeak growing up...he doesn't really have a chance to be anything but little!
  • 18.2 pounds and 28 3/4 inches long
  • Loves to play peek a boo and sneak up on you
  • LOVES giving high 5's
  • Can pump his fist when you say GO PACK GO!
  • LOVES TO EAT...he is a really good eater, which is good for growing
  • started drinking whole milk! NO MORE FORMULA!!!
  • loves waffles, banana, toast and yogurt-he could eat breakfast foods all the time
  • learned to stack legos and blocks
  • loves to play with jerry and laugh at him
  • makes funny faces
  • loves lounging on the floor with pillows...he gets this trait from Momma
  • is very analytical...he gets this trait from Dad
  • he loves to play in the laundry...the nicely folded laundry of course
  • likes to play with friends
  • pats his tummy, finds his tongue when you ask him to
  • has his tongue and his nose mixed up...whoops! you ask him where his nose is and he wiggles his tongue!
  • crawls really fast
  • walks 3-4 steps and then dives at whatever he is going for
  • he can stand for really long periods of time and squat down and come back up...seriously i have know idea how his little thighs can take it!!
  • wears size 4 diapers and 9 month clothes
  • talks, talks, talks and starting to say things like he knows what he means but we have no idea
  • can say Dad, Momma, jerry, dog, and tree (we just learned that tonight!)
  • when he wakes up or Michael walks away he says..."Dad...Dad"...like he is saying where are you!!!
  • shakes his booty when you ask him to dance
  • had another ear infection
  • LOVES daycare and playing with his friends there!
  • loves to play guitar
  • still loves to read and will sit by himself and just look at book-it seems he likes that more than when we read...we read all the words and don't turn the pages fast enough!
  • loves to look at each page of a magazine and then when he is done rip them all out
  • learned to give hugs...he even pats your back if his is being extra snuggly!
  • Some words that have been used to describe Finnean: pensive, meticulous, analytical...he can be quite the serious bear!
  • He is incredibly shy around new people or people he hasn't seen in a while but is so funny when you get to know him. His personality makes us laugh each day

I am sure that I left out tons of neat stuff that he is doing but I hope this gives you a little glimpse of the joy that fills our lives each day!
