Bubbles

Those damn bubbles can entertain him for HOURS

No, No Finn!

Although he's still not crawling or walking (but oh boy he wants to walk SO badly), he IS getting in to things. Every day I find myself saying "No, No Finn" more and more.

He is trying to pull himself up on to Todd's piano stool. I now know not to put my coffee up there. He can pull the whole stool into his lap before I go running across the room to stop him (or take a picture)

David Oliver dog

Our friend David bought us this gigantic stuffed dog. We've been using it every month to take Finn's monthly picture with (that are all over to the right of this blog). I did another set today and he has a whole new relationship with the stuffed dog. He was petting it and playing with it. He was cracking himself and me up.

walking Finnster

I got Finn a walker to use while we were in Virginia. He loves it SO much and gets a little faster every day. He is now running in it and it cracks me up.

Oh lord that child is cute.

2 weeks in Virginia

Well Todd, Finn and I are home. Finn and I were gone for a little over two weeks and Todd was in and out of town. It's time to get back to the real world.


Besides what I have already posted below, here are a few Virginia highlights.

I took full advantage of Grandma and got out and about to visit with friends. Finn had a knack for falling right to sleep while being rocked by my mom.

Finn and Grandpa and their love of magazines

One day we were down there the weather was in the high 60's. It was amazing. So we walked over to the playground.

Marina, Kendra & Krista AND NOW Elena, Walker & Finn

My friend Marina and I have known each other for about 22 years. She now lives in Switzerland and I'm in good ole' NYC.


Marina and I had our babies two weeks apart from one another. One would think it was planned. It was not.

My best friend Kendra and I had our babies 7 months apart.

(And for the record, my friend Shannon and I also had our babies two weeks apart - I don't know. . . there must have been something in the water. )

PT (Brown-Robbins) 6/17/00-1/03/09

We lost PT Saturday night. It was both unexpected and probably a long time coming. We loved him with all our heart. Todd and I were both in the room and Todd held him and talked to him through the whole thing.

There are so many PT stories I don't even know where to start. I need to write them all down so that we never forget them.

PT was in a rap music video with the rapper Fabulous. He is in the video about 2 and half minutes in it.
