Swallowing

-
Last night Michael was in Knoxville for a hearing. At some point in the evening Michael called. I thought it might be interesting to see if Finn could recognize Michael's voice over the phone. I put the phone up to his ear and you could instantly tell when Finn heard Michael talk to him. His eyes got really big and he started shaking his arms.


On Monday night Finn and Michael had some tummy time. Meaning, Finn laid on Michael's tummy and played. Michael had a great time with him.




Tonight Finn finally swallowed some of his oatmeal. We have been working with him for 5 days now and he hasn't wanted to actually eat the oats. For the past few days Finn has been very interested in what Michael and I eat. I wonder if watching us is starting to pay off. Every time I feed Finn I demonstrate how to eat from a spoon. Unfortunately that means that I have to eat baby oatmeal which isn't very appetizing. I think that Finn is starting to get the hang of it. When I put the spoon to his mouth, he would open up and let me dump the oatmeal in his mouth. He is still making his "gross" face, but tonight he swallowed after making his "gross" face (which makes no sense to me, but I'll take it where I can get it). He ate at least 10 bites before letting me know that he would prefer some milk.

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!
