I think I mentioned that we joined a Mom's group last December (for mom's who live in NE Mpls or St. Anthony), but with how hectic my winter/spring ended up being, we didn't participate other than the all-member meetings once a month. Our friends, Pam and Lilly from ECFE just joined, so I'm glad to know somebody to do activities with now. And I'm happy to report that on Monday, we went to our first play date! One of the members had people over for a craft play date...but of course, Finn wanted nothing to do with the craft part of it. He played with their tractors and trains the entire time. At one point all the kids (yes, every single one of them) except Finn went outside to play. I was feeding Korri in the living room where Finn was playing and after maybe 15 minutes, he looked up and asked, "where'd the kids go?" Ha! I guess he had fun regardless if it was the "planned" fun he was supposed to have!
Korri is "talking" up a storm lately. I love that she can be put down occasionally and she will just coo and play (when she is in the right mood, of course). She is still in size 3 months clothes, which frustrates me a little as feeding continues to be a little bit of an on-and-off challenge. But I optimistically think I could maybe switch her to 3-6 month any day! I am struggling with the decision of whether or not to switch to formula. I just don't know what would be best for her. We'll discuss with her pediatrician next week, I guess.
Finn has been his normal, happy self. He has figured out door knobs...but is thankfully too short to actually open the doors yet. Did I actually just say I was thankful he is short? Hmmm...never thought I'd say that! He can also open our screen door now, so I have to be really careful on the days I leave the front door open for ventilation, although he is such a rule follower, I don't think he would want to go outside without me!
We are off this morning for our second story time at the library. It is such a great thing to do on a rainy week day morning. Our friends, Pam and Lilly are going to meet us there, so Finn will have a friend to play with (although last time he got pretty sucked into the books and doesn't come up for air!).

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.

I thought I was busy!
Vince has been getting formula more regularly and it breaks my heart. With my stress levels and fact that I don't see him much during the day, in addition to his start of solids, my production has gone way down. Can't believe how much it has affected me. 9 months and going strong though!! Days I get 6-8 ounces are super exciting days for me!!!! And Vince...he hates formula days.
