Last night, Tim was able to come over for the first time in two weeks due to his doctor recommended quarantine at home. Finley was so very excited to see his Daddy. A hug took a moment and came after Finley showed Daddy every single toy he has, and his bedroom, his iPad, and his…
Dear Finley, The last three weeks (3???) have been a blur. In most ways it has been a terrifying time- so much unknown and unseen that we can't control. We aren't able to hug or be near anyone else but each other (and of course Riley Pug). We are isolated on our little "island". Silly…
Dear Finley, We have been "working" at home together for a week. I started at home on Monday, March 16th, 2020 because I had cold symptoms and then work mandated remote work beginning Wednesday (the 18th) due to the COVID-19 outbreak of 2020. That means....we've been working and spending our days together. Work to me…
Eleven months. My sweet boy is already 11 months! His personality is becoming more evident: sweet, funny, insistent, determined, and losing a bit of cuddliness (but still cuddly when I time it right). We find him chuckling to himself often and I can get a smile with just a small tilt of my head. He's…
I think looking back, the 9th-10th month time period will be one we will reflect had many, many changes. Your snake slide turned into a full on crawl. You move lightening fast, especially when you know we don't want you to crawl into a certain area. You pull yourself up so you stand on your…
My dearest Finley James turned 8 months old. 8 months! With each passing month, we get a little bit further from the day of his birth when he burst into our lives. I grieve the days where I could hold him with one hand and he was just so new to the world. On the…
Finn is now a full seven months. Ah sweet boy, you keep growing and growing... Finn now has two bottom teeth and four teeth on the top growing in...plus molars... He's still not sleeping through the night, but I've accepted it as the normal... He loves making noises - grunts, groans, Velociraptor cries, loud exclamations-…
Finn is now six months. Six months! In the beginning, I thought by six months I'd be an exceptional parent and pretty much know everything there is to know. Now I know the truth- not a chance. I may never know. We had our first Christmas together. It was a strange one with ice, illnesses,…
Finn is now five months old. He's a happy and often mellow little baby boy. He doesn't sleep a lot but uses energy to roll from his back to his front and vice versa. Finn has celebrated his first Thanksgiving at Grandma Ann's house. His favorite toys are his fingers, his Sophie teether, and his…
In month four, Finn slept through the night for the first time (and last time thus far).... He rolled from his belly to his back.... He had his first belly laugh... Saw his first soccer game in the rain... Celebrated his first Halloween as Superman... Had his first cold (not so fun).... And lit up…
