The Big Bed

-




This morning Finn woke up at 4:00. As per my new routine, I put him in the bed with us to feed him. I decided that since it was so close to 5:00 that I would just leave Finn in the bed with us until it was time to get up. I LOVE having him the bed with us! We were given specific instructions that babies are to sleep in their own rooms, but I thought that 45 minutes with me wouldn't hurt.

I got up when the alarm went off at 5:00 and left Finn in the bed with Michael. After Finn woke up I got him ready to go to the Apedaile's house. Victoria keeps Finn on Wednesday and Fridays. After we were all clean and dressed we put him in the car and we headed out for the day. It was fun packing Finn the car and leaving with him this morning.
After work we picked Finn up. I sat in the back seat with him on the way home. He laughed at me while I was tickling his checks. I think that he likes having someone sitting in the back with him. I only had a few minutes to play with him because he went from laughing to snoring within 30 seconds.
Wednesday are always busy days at the Begley home because we get home from work at 5:00 and then we head out for church at 6:00. I love going to church on Wednesday nights, but I feel bad for Finn. I am gone all day to work and then I leave him in the nursery at night. But I do feel some grim satisfaction knowing that he missed me today. I know that he missed me because he grabbed me when we got home from church. I laid him down on the boppy to feed and he literally grabbed by nursing bra and pulled himself toward me all the while shaking his head with his mouth wide open. Even after he started eating he still had a death grip on my shirt. He wasn't about to let me get away.

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.
