Let Us Fintertain You

Finn has been recovering nicely from his pneumonia, and has bounced back to his regular Finny self; which usually means he's causing some sort of trouble. I've said this before, but I'm honestly shocked at the messes he can generate.

He's speaking all kinds of words and phrases, and knows about a third of the alphabet by sight. He also has quite the repertoire of animal sounds.

And when we read his favorite Curious George book, he's memorized all the descriptive words and says them with such funny inflections. Unfortunately that video is too long to post here. Blogger has a rather small size limit.I will show you one other video, however, of his newly learned skill. One that has both his parents cursing on a regular basis :).

Usually he still goes down for naps pretty well, but one unfortunate Sunday morning, at the unspeakable hour of 2:30, he woke up for no apparent reason and proceeded to climb out of his bed something like two dozen times over the course of two hours. It was absolutely miserable. He does have his super cute moments though. He can be awfully cuddly.

For some reason, he loves to insert himself into small things and spaces.

He hangs out under his crib, and is always trying to climb back and behind furniture. And he still loves his books. He reads all the time, looking through all the pictures and pointing out things he knows. Then he usually drags a book to one of us to read it for him.

He's one quirky little kid too. Lately he lifts up his shirt and sticks his bare belly against the fridge... no idea what that's all about.

He recently found an old, rarely used plug in a drawer in his room. Not sure why we even still had it, but all the sudden he's quite attached.

Look at that mischievous twinkle! He's very attached to his airplane blanket. It's his favorite at both bed time and nap time.

This little kid cracks us up so often, and will often fake snore when he lays down on a pillow. His sisters are some of his very favorite people, and he gets so excited when it's time for them to come home from school. Teag and I always worried that he'd get a little too "mothered", but he has no problem handling himself amongst the ladies of the house. Such a funny Finny.
