What a Difference a Year Makes

-
About this time last year I took some pictures of Finn sitting in his rocking chair. He was just over 3 months old.


This is Finn today. Finn is just over one year and four months (16 months). I am amazed at the difference.


This Finn's blanket. He calls it "blink-it." Finn doesn't suck his thumb or take a pacifier, but really loves this blanket. Every night before we put Finn to bed we give it to him and he either puts in his mouth or right up next to his face. Every morning when it is time to get up, he will stand up in his crib, hold on the rail with one hand and hold the blanket with his other hand. The minute he sees me, he throws the blanket in the floor as hard as he can. I pick it up and put it back in the crib. Finn will grab it and try his best to get it out of the crib. It is a real treat when he is allowed to play with his blanket somewhere other than the crib. Hence the excitement.

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!
