Finn's digestive track/first doctor's appointment

-










Today was Finn's first doctor's appointment. This was also our first trip to town as a family. To celebrate, we decided to stop at the Sonic for some Route 44 drinks. Consequently, we were almost late to Finn's appointment. Great parents, huh.


While in the waiting room at the doctor's office, Michael and I noticed a very odd smell coming from Finn's direction. To our suprise and delight, Finn had a very "healthy" sized bowel movement (we had been worried about him because he did not appear very "regular"). Not only was this BM very "healthy" in size, it also migrated half way up Finn's back. While we were a little nauseated, we were so proud!

As expected, Finn did not really enjoy his check up. We have come to the conclusion that Finn is a very modest baby and does not appreciate his clothes being removed. The first thing they told us upon going into the examination room was to strip Finn down to his diaper. Needless to say, Finn squalled the entire time.

At this appointment we learned that Finn is very healthy!

Later that evening we decided to give Finn a bath. Michael stripped Finn down to his bare skin and waited for me to prepare the bath. It was at this exact moment that Finn decided to give an "encore" performance. Michael was covered - and to make matters worse, he stepped in it as well. He kinda freaked out a little. I found the whole thing to be hilarious.

After his bath, we settled in for a long night of feeding. It was a really good day.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl...

The Fourth of July

Well the Begley clan had a pretty big Fourth of July celebration. Finn and I started the day by making a quick run to Wal-Mart to pick up some oatmeal. Then we got ready for our day with with Emily, Zac, Coop, Hank, Nana and Papa. We all met over at Em's house for a little playing, a little swimming and a lot of eating. When we first got there we all sat upstairs and watched the boys play in Cooper's playroom. Finn was absolutely amazed at all the toys. Then we decided to go to the pool. After getting the boy lathered up, we all loaded in the back of Zac's truck like the Clampetts and headed to the pool. With respect to those who would rather not be seen in a bathing suit on the blog, I have omitted the swimming pictures. We didn't get to swim too terribly long because it started looking like it was going to storm so we were only out for an hour. Once we got back home we had dinner. Greg made the best ribs I have ever put in my mouth. To end the evening Finn an...

High Ankle Sprain

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.
