Finn giggles


Here is a sample, finally, of Finn and his "motorboat" giggles. He's only getting more vocal these days with new sounds and squeals. He recently got his first tooth and so now that we've made it through one teething experience I'm hoping the ones to follow will be a little easier to handle. Grandma was here for a visit last week, only in time for one of the coldest weeks of the year. (lows of 40 below zero!!!) But she toughed it out and is now safe and sound home in CO with 60 degree weather. Not that I'm jealous or anything. 
Finn isn't quite crawling but he has found that rolling can usually get him where he wants to be. He's getting better at keeping himself occupied these days whether its eating cheerios on his own or talking to toys or staring at Kitty.  We are so anxious of the days to come and can not believe he's grown so much, weighing 21 lbs. already! Now that I think I have this video thing down, I'll try and post more often!

Okay, I'll be the one to say it...Thank God the Holidays are OVER! I never expected the hustle and bustle of working, traveling outside of town, and handling a little one to be so exhausting!! But we did it, I survived and as my dad would say "Bah Humbug." Sorry, but it's the truth! Being a new parent can be overwhelming, but I think everyone already knows that. Either way, I think Finn had a blast. Even outside of his daily routine and with seeing new friends and family, he was a trooper, smiles and all! We got a video camera as a family gift (Thanks Dad;) so videos should follow shortly with our regular updates.  In the meantime here a few pics from our holiday season.
