Breakin' Me Down

Finn most assuredly has his mother's physique.



Enjoying time with Coop . . .

Getting a little nervous . . .

Oops, we lost him. Coop, I'm sorry your cousin is a "stick in the mud."





Watching home videos with Nana. Finn was so attentive.

Last night was awful! Finn woke up at 2:00 and did not fall back to sleep until 4:00. I tried everything to comfort him. I tried my best not to feed him, but Finn proved to be more resilient that his exhausted mom and I ended up feeding him for a couple of minutes. I feel quiet certain that I will pay for that tonight. Before feeding Finn, I tried to give him a little bit of water from a medicine syringe. I thought that it was going really well. Finn appeared to be taking it and the water seemed to calm him down. In reality, the water was dribbling out of his mouth and soaking his sheet. I ended up having to take Finn out of the bed, changing his sleeper and putting him on the other side of his crib. It was a really long night.

The morning proved to be much better. Nana, MJ, and Coop came to visit us and we ate at the Chocolate Covered Strawberry. When we got back to the house Cooper played in Finn's jumping gym. Coop and Finn also spent some time playing in my bedroom floor. It was a mad house. While poor Mom was trying to iron and hang curtains, Kodiak was chewing on the iron chord, Coop was laughing and trying to play with Finn and Finn was freaking out. Cooper was so sweet to Finn. He would sit almost nose to nose with Finn and smile. Finn was not so sweet - he would look back at Coop and cry. MJ summed it up well in her blog, "Cooper would get directly in Finn face and just yell (which the way that Cooper talks to people) and Finn would pucker up and cry every time." They are so funny together.

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!
