Bad Habits

-
Up until today I thought that we were safely past the "pacifier phase." I was so happy that Finn never got attached to either a pacifier or his thumb. It looks like I may have spoken too soon. Today while Finn was getting a bath in the sink he found one of the nipples to the his bottle. He stuck his thumb into the nipple and then stuck both into his mouth; two bad habits in one! I wouldn't be concerned but for the fact that Finn has started using his bottle as a pacifier. He would suck air out of that thing all day long if we'd let him. I truly hope that Finn savored the moment with the make shift pacifier, because I am nipping this in the bud immediately.
At least Finn is not selfish with this pacifier. He really enjoyed offering it to me and then putting it back in his mouth as quickly as possible. This little activity made him laugh so hard.

After Finn's bath we got him ready to go eat dinner at Demos' with Greg, Shelley and Macey T. While at dinner Finn got his own place mat and crayons.



Finn was so well behaved tonight. He sat quietly in this high chair, ate his crackers and drank his bottle.
As you can see he propped his bottle on the table and spent most of the evening finishing it off.


This is a picture of Finn staring in amazement as Macey T. demonstrates her ability to use any object, her Dad in this case, as a jungle gym. She is the best little mover I have ever seen.
By the time we got home Finn was sound asleep. He must have been completely exhausted because he didn't wake up when we got him out of his car seat; he didn't wake up when I took his clothes off of him; and he didn't wake up when I changed his diaper. Weird. I think that I might have brought the wrong child home from the restaurant.

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!
