Man vs. Food

-

Finn has been really difficult to feed over the last few days; today was no exception. I'm not sure why, but Finn hasn't had any interest in eating from a spoon even though he acts like he is starving. My theory is that Finn is sick of baby food and he is ready to feed himself, which would be great if he could eat enough to actually get full. It seems like we are constantly getting Finn ready for a meal that he promptly refuses to eat. Here is a picture of Finn eating cheese, crackers and Excedrin for lunch. He devoured the cheese.



Today Finn got a new toy! It is white and gray and furry, it makes noise and it can move independent of Finn. Best of all, it fits in his toy box. Finn sat and played with this "new toy" while watching the second Night at the Museum.

After a short nap, we all went to Qdoba's for lunch. Finn was a little restless so I started giving him a few black beans from my salad. While digging for the black beans I found three or four huge red onions in my salad. For fun I gave one to Finn and much to my horror he ate it! This is evidence that Finn was switched at birth. There is no way that any child of mine could eat an onion that big without dry heaving or at least making a terrible face and spitting it out.

About 20 minutes later I saw that same piece of red onion on Finn's shirt. I was so relieved - he actually is mine.

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!
