Finn's first date

Finn had his first play date today! Yes, they have matching strollers (different colors, though).Our friends Lyla, seven months old, and her mom Meytal joined us for a BIG walk around our neighborhood. We met them at our Infant Massage class this spring. It was a little windy and chilly, but nice to be out and about regardless and talking about "mom" things. Hopefully we can do it again soon!

Some updates on Finn...he doesn't spit up or puke his guts out any more! Now I say that and I'm sure he will hurl tonight, but I'm pretty sure he hasn't since we eliminated the formula and went completely to breast milk/feeding. In fact, he hardly even needs to burp any more after eating, either. I think he is just more efficient at nursing and gets less air than with a bottle.

It is official...Finn is a thumb sucker! I can't deny it any longer. Over the last three days or so, he constantly is seeking out his thumb and trying to stick it in his mouth and get it to stay in his mouth (that is the hard part!). I try to be upset, but it is so darn cute, that I can't help but smile and grab the camera. Oh, well. Hopefully he will be able to kick the habit sooner than I did (at least my teeth weren't affected by it and hopefully his won't be either).

The other thing I noticed recently is that he is starting to anticipate things. When I go to put his shirt on, he scrunches up his shoulders and makes a cute face with his mouth...like "here it comes!" Also, in the mornings when I go into his room, he now knows he can stop crying because I am going to pick him up and feed him (because I have to sanitize first, it takes a few seconds before he gets picked up). This is obviously a good developmental step for him. Our baby is getting so grown up!
