Being a big boy

These days Finn is doing more and more big boy things. Such as...using sign language to tell us he wants to eat, understanding and complying when we ask him to give us a kiss, pulling himself to standing, and insisting that we read the same book to him over and over and over again. Here are a few pictures of his recent attempt to feed himself. He's been practicing holding the spoon himself, which is always a mess, so I prepare by taking off his shirt and pants.

A possible conversation

You: "Wow, Mickey! What a terrible picture of Finn!"

Me: "Look closer. Particularly in the mouth, around the lower gums."

You: "Oh my! Are those teeth?"

Me: "Yes, indeed! They are tremendously difficult to photograph!"

Finn's Nap Alternative

Napping has become "optional" in Finn's mind these last few days. As such, this is a common (and admittedly exciting) new development in his crib time. If only he'd find a more suitable time to perform such an amazing feat!

A crazy week

Hey all. Sorry for the long delay. The Pearsons' week has been rather crazy. First, we've been working to get the house all cleaned and ready for putting it on the market. Then, I had a brief hospital stay following issues with my late appendix. Finally, Auntie Nicole & Uncle Sam moved into their new house this weekend, which made for even more busy-ness.

Here are some great photos shot by Finn's grandmas.

Our messy dude

Our little guy made a big mess today while eating a yummy mixture of sweet potatoes and black beans. Below is photo documentation of the event. Very cute.
