Run baby run

Finn's Synagis was delivered on Tuesday and he got his shots. Poor guy. Big crocodile tears...for about 20 seconds! He recovers pretty quickly. I gave him Mortin but he probably didn't even need it. One more Synagis dose and he's done for this season! Yay.

Tuesday night, mommy got to get out of the house! I went to Kelsie's Pampered Chef party - I love their stuff. The cake stand that I really wanted doesn't come out until the March catalog, so...I was convinced to have my own party (in March!). The date is yet-to-be-determined, but probably the end of the month. So, if you'd like to be invited or want more information about ordering some stuff, let me know! I'll be sending invitations out once the date is set.

We got to see Austin two nights in a row! As always, Finn was super excited to see him. Jim watched both boys on Tuesday night because I was at the Pampered Chef party and Becky had a cleaning appointment. Then I have Austin every Wednesday afternoon until Becky is done cleaning either Kristine's house or mine! We switch every other Wednesday. I really miss having him during the week! He has so much darn energy.

We just got back from Finn's PT. He did really well this week, probably making up for last time when we had to quit during the appointment. We are working on developing his leg and butt muscles to support pulling himself up to standing and also getting him on his hands and knees and working on rocking. He is improving, which is great to see. One thing new we did this week was put Finn on the tread mill! Therapists use tread mill therapy to work with spinal injury patients to get their involuntary reflexes to move their legs forward. New research is suggesting it works with developmentally delayed infants, too! So Katie wanted to try it. Finn didn't really "get" it and we did it at the end so he was pretty tired. But it was good to see and Katie wants to keep trying it a little bit at each session. Hey, I'm all for it! I should video tape it, though, because it is so funny to see a little baby on a tread mill!

And I decided to give up chocolate for lent. I contemplated alcohol, but thought that chocolate is a more "every day" kind of thing where alcohol is less often (plus, I wanted to be able to do it and I probably couldn't do alcohol...I'm terrible, I know). I'm not a chocolate freak, but I love sweets and a lot of my favs have chocolate IN them. Example, I don't like Hershey kisses, but I love Snickers. I already "cheated" this morning, though! I wasn't thinking about it and grabbed a breakfast bar. I'd better put them away until after lent!
