8 Months Old

-

Today Finn is eight (8) months old. I can't believe how fast it is going. If I think about it too much I get depressed, so that is all I am going to say about that.

This morning was my first hearing in circuit court. I was thoroughly drained after finishing up so I decided to drop in and hangout with Finn for a few minutes before going back to the office. He gets so excited when we pop in during the day. I get so tickled at him. He opens his mouth really wide and bounces when he sees us walk through the door.

This afternoon while nursing Finn I pulled off the rest of his steri-strips. He didn't cry, flinch or fuss so I guess it didn't hurt him. His incision cite looks really good other than the very noticeable spot that doesn't have any hair growing on it. After taking the strips off I noticed that Finn didn't have any hair growing under the top pieces. When his hair really starts to grow in he is going to look really funny.


You can really see the difference in this picture.

Finn has not been at all interested in eating solid foods today. Which is ironic given the fact that I only took pictures of Finn in his highchair. We had a standoff at dinner and I won, meaning, he just didn't eat. Finn wanted to nurse, but I stood my ground. He always wants to nurse more on Mondays. After dinner we all went outside to pull weeds. Tonight was much more fun because it was cool. Finn sat on his quilt and played with a teaspoon and bottle lid for almost 45 minutes. Then out of nowhere it started thundering. I think the thunder startled Finn a bit because I saw him intently staring in the direction he heard the thunder. Mere seconds later it started to rain. We let Finn sit in the rain for a few minutes before bringing him in. We would have left him longer but our neighbors came out and we didn't want them to think that we were unfit parents. I don't think that Finn even noticed the rain.


Just check out how nice and round that little head is. I have put some of his old pictures up to compare. The shape of his head is so different. I used the water pictures because his hair is laying flat to his head and you can see the difference. See how narrow the back of is head was.

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!
