Scooter

-
Tonight I went to a bible study so I didn't have a lot of time to spend with Finn. So . . . in order to capitalize of the small amount of time I had I put Finn in the kitchen floor while I cooked dinner. Instead of hanging out with me Finn scooted his little body over to his float. (Don't ask me why the float was in the kitchen. Those of you who know me are probably not surprised.) I have a few pictures to demonstrate Finn's scooting. As you can see, he lays on his belly, plants his hands on the floor and pushes himself backwards causing his belly to slide on the tile. I guess this is an acceptable alternative to crawling for the time being.


This is a picture of Finn's new favorite past-time. I have learned that when I raise both of my arms in the air Finn raises his arms too. He thinks this is hilarious. After a while he started raising his hands on his own so Michael and I had no choice but to raise ours. Now every time Finn raises his arms we do it to. Tonight during dinner Finn raised his arms about 20 times in a row. Don't tell Finn but I am confident we either looked ridiculous or crazy.
Since Finn was having a such a good time playing with his float we thought that it might be fun to actually put him in it. Finn did not think it was fun.

    So nice of Finn to train you to raise your arms when he does. Babies are so smart and mine trained me to do the same thing. Funny how quickly they learn things like that.

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!
