Tummy Time

-









Today Finn had some tummy time. They instructed us at the hospital to give Finn tummy time everyday. Well, I haven't exactly done a great job at ensuring that Finn gets his daily dose of "tummy time" so I decided today was as good a day as any to start - Finn disagreed. He didn't particularly like tummy time because he couldn't hold his head up. Mostly he just laid nose straight into the floor - it was rather comical. But all was not lost - I ended up propping him in his boppy and he did better . . . not great . . . but better.
Later we met Shelley and her daughter Macey T (my nickname for her) for lunch. Macey T and Finn were born two days apart in the same hospital. They stayed in the nursery together, visited each other's rooms and had pictures taken together. They were both perfect angels during lunch. Shelley and I joked that this was Finn and Macey T's first date.

After lunch I went to the dentist while Finn hung out with his Daddy, his Uncle David and his Uncle James (via the Warcraft Internet microphone). After David left Michael, Finn and I went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. It was our first family dinner out since Finn was born a month ago.

Michael left straight from the restaurant to go to Knoxville for the night, while Finn and I went to Babies - R- Us to buy a new swing. Finn was pretty exhausted by the time we got home and he fell asleep very quickly. But before he fell asleep he had plenty of time to dirty not only his diaper but his onsie too. Apparently his inadequate, but well meaning mama put his diaper on crooked and he "relieved" himself out the side of the diaper and directly onto the onsie. It was gross.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

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.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
