Oatmeal! (Friday, January 29, 2010)

Check out those black socks next to those tree trunks! He just needs a pair of sandels and a straw hat to complete the look.





Today was a great day! First, Finn slept all the way through the night. He didn't cry one time - not even when we put him to bed awake. Second, it snowed. We were told that there was a 100% chance of snow. Of course when I woke up at 5:00 there was absolutely nothing on the ground. However, around 9:00 it started coming down hard! At 10:50 we got an email saying that all State offices were going to close at noon!!! YAY! The state hasn't closed since 2003. Third, Michael and I got to eat lunch at Qdoba's after leaving working. The best part was we had two entrees, chips and queso and a drink for $1.63. My husband can really sniff out a deal. Fourth, we got to pick Finn up early from Victoria. When we got home we built a fire. Fifth, Finn took a nap in his crib. Granted, he cried himself to sleep, but he took a nap nonetheless. Sixth, we are making tremendous progress with the lady bug. Seventh, Finn finally rolled over again. I put him down on his belly so that I could get a coke from the kitchen and when I got back, Finn was laying on his back playing.

The best part of the day was when Finn tried solid food for the first time. We put him in his Bumbo, propped him up on the coffee table and gave him a bite of oatmeal. True to form he hated it. He didn't cry, but it was obvious that he was totally perplexed. It was so cute - I would spoon a little bit into his mouth and he would gag and then he would spit it back out. I know it doesn't sound cute - but it really was. We are going to try a little bit everyday until he loves oatmeal as much as his Mama does.
Quick question for you mothers out there. Is it okay to mix oatmeal with warm water instead of breast milk until he gets used to it? I am afraid that I will waste a lot of breast milk in the interim.

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!
