He was a good boy last night. We never know how he is going to be that time of night.
In the first picture, I think I snapped his chin when I put the hat on. Oops! Because he didn't mind having the hat on the rest of the night. The second picture is a close up of the birthday boy! Austin (and Auntie Becca!) got him the birthday balloon. He loved it, especially once he realized he can punch it around.
Auntie Kristine, Alex and Grace came over. We, including Auntie Becca, Pete and Austin, had Finn do cake, ice-cream and presents first just in case Finn got tired and didn't want to do it later.
He really wasn't too sure about the cake. I don't think he liked the texture on his fingers and he gagged on the cake when I put a small piece in his mouth. Now, when Jim gave him frosting, I think Finn found his great love, even though he just got a tiny taste. Too funny. I was hoping for a massive mess, but that didn't happen. I'm sure it will be different in April. He seemed to "get" opening presents more than two weeks ago probably because he got plenty of practice at Christmas.
I forgot to mention yesterday that our poor birthday boy has his second ear infection. I asked the doctor to look when we were at the NICU follow up clinic and sure enough, he had one. It is so hard because the ONLY symptom he had was once or twice a day, he would touch his right ear. I guess I shouldn't doubt myself, but it is so hard to know when you should go in. Anyway, he is on amoxicillin, so hopefully that clears it up.
We had PT today. In hind sight, we probably shouldn't have gone. I realized when I got up that it had snowed, so I planned accordingly. We left a little early, and with two small children, that isn't an easy feat. Well, we saw between 10 and 15 accidents just on our side of 94 and it was glare ice. I was going less than 20 mph at one point and people started breaking and it was impossible to stop. Austin kept asking me questions and finally I had to have a "no talking" rule in the car. Luckily, we made it there in one piece and only a couple minutes late. We talked a lot about the NICU follow up clinic assessment, but of course I forgot the results sheet at home. She keeps reassuring me that Finn is doing amazing and to look at what he IS doing instead of what he ISN'T. I get that, it is just hard when you've been going to PT for 6 months and your baby scores lowest on that one part you are supposed to be helping with. They also adjusted his helmet, so now it fits a little better.
Sorry, kind of a lame post, but in a hurry. Sam and Dillon are coming over for dinner tonight and Sam is going to fix our master bath toilet! Yay!
