10 months old today!!!!!!!

My camera is broken so I haven't been posting much. Here is the latest update.

Finn turned 10 months old today.
These past two weeks he has changed so much and gotten incredibly strong. He still belly crawls across the room but has started pulling his knees up. So now he half crawls, half slides on his belly. He pulls himself up on just about everything and would MUCH rather be standing then in any other position. That also includes nursing by the way. If we are laying on the bed nursing, he stands up and bends over at the waist to nurse. It's quite the contortion act.
Our two biggest challenges right now is that he A) falls to pieces the second I walk out of the room. Even if I am out of eye sight but he can hear me. This makes going to the bathroom tough. If I'm leaving for work, he cries for a minute but is fine by the time I get out the front doors. If I'm in the room though he wants to be no more than an arms length away.

And B) he screams. Loudly. Not screams as in cries but temper tantrum screams. I can only imagine how this will be when he's two.

If he's in the mood and you ask him what a fish says, he purses his lips and makes a fish sound, he waves hi and bye and as soon as we say "yay", he claps

He has also started this grunting sound that he does all the time now.

This is "The Scream"







He's growing up very quickly. It was this time last year that we had the baby shower.


Ten months old is my favorite age to date.

The Flu!!!

Well, what followed the Brooklyn Children's Museum was the Brooklyn Children's Flu.





This was our first experience with a major, major sick kid. Then I got the flu the following day. I don't know which is worse, seeing Finn go through it or having it myself and not being able to take care of him.

This was in the thick of it.
