Finn, Korri and I met a few friends at the Midtown Global Market for Wee Wednesdays on...wait for it...Wednesday! This week they had a jazz dance teacher showing the kids different dance moves. Finn didn't overly participate, but he did try several of the moves. It was really cute. After that, we headed over to the Quinn household to meet new baby Andrew (they happen to live two blocks from the Global Market, so it worked out well). Andrew is so precious and, as always, it was wonderful to catch up with Lisa. Seems like things are going well.
Yesterday, aunt Kelsie came over for her weekly American Idol viewing party. She was able to come a little earlier than normal, so Finn was super excited to get to play with her. Korri put on an extra special screaming fest later on in the evening. As a side note: I'm so happy Haley is finally gone! Now, Scotty better win it all (since my two favs are already gone...Casey and James!).
Two things of note today: 1. Finn actually used the potty chair today and 2. I made a chiro appt for Korri for Monday!
1. Finn pooped and peed in his potty chair today for the first time ever...and I missed it! I'm glad Jim was able to be there for a first as big as this, though. And they called me when it happened. Finn was SO proud of himself. Jim said that out of the blue, Finn said, "Poopy, daddy." So they went into the bathroom and about 20 minutes later (you know how "men" are in the bathroom!), Finn said, "I poopied, daddy" and Jim was like, "yeah, right." But he did! I still can't believe it. We tried a few more times today, to no avail. But I don't want to push him too hard, since he is still relatively young to be potty trained.
2. I've been going back and forth and back again on whether to take Korri to a chiropractor for her colic and general fussiness. Finn's friend from ECFE, Claire's dad is a chiropractor, so I finally called today and got an appointment for Korri for Monday afternoon. They are very gentle with babies and I really think the worse case scenario is that it does nothing. The best case scenario...she stops screaming so much and is able to relax her body once in a while. I hate that she seems in pain so often. Her feet actually curve in a little bit because she tenses them so much and so often. Poor baby. Fingers (and anything that can be) are crossed!

Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.
