Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Finn

-

Today Finn couldn't make up his mind about what type of mood he was going to be in. One minute he was laughing and smiling and being all around adorable, the next he was crying and mad and biting me. He was a perfect angel during Sunday School, so I was a bit surprised that he so moody after his nap. I guess he is still feeling poorly. (He has a terrible hacking cough - it sounds so painful.) The following pictures were literally taken within seconds of each other.


Not so happy . . .


Happy . . .

Not so happy . . .

really happy . . .


This is how our whole day went. I was exhausted by the time I put him to bed at 7:30. He even fussed in the bathtub. It is really bad if even the bathtub can't help.



We attempted to crawl several times today. Finn is very close. He can get up on his hands, and one knee. The other gets stuck sideways underneath him, but he is starting to figure out how to straighten it out.




Once he gets in the position he will rock back and forth for a few seconds. Then he gets really mad and frustrated, falls belly first into the floor and cries for his Mama.


After a few failed attempts at crawling, Finn and I sat in the floor next to the computer desk and practiced standing up. He really wasn't much in the mood to stand so I just did whatever I could to make him happy.





Finn has picked up a few new habits. He is clapping pretty regularly now. He also has taken a liking to raising both of his arms up in the air as high as he can.

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.
