Fun Finn

Here's a couple photos of Finn that will warm up your otherwise cold and snowy day. (If you're in Minnesota, anyway.)

Big News

Maybe not exactly a blog worthy picture, but it conveys an important message. Yes, for those of you that haven't heard yet, Finn is going to be a big brother in October. He is very excited, even though he doesn't know it yet.

Our little nerd

Finn (read: Finn's parents) thought it would be fun to try on Grandma Nancy's glasses. What an adorable little nerd!

Finn's First Haircut

We decided it was time for Finn's first haircut. Below are the after shots. We think he looks pretty awesome. And props to Mickey who did the cut while I was at work - it turned out great.

Finn is ready for the heat!

With the great weather we've been having, Finn is getting super-excited for summer. Here he is trying out his hot weather gear.

Finn vs. the bookshelf

Here's Finn doing one of his favorite things these days: clearing off the bookshelves in search of his favorite books.

Another fun video

Here's a great video of a bunch of Finn's new skills: walking with a walker, giving kisses, and reacting to the exclamation, "Oh no!" Enjoy.

Sloppy Finn

Finn was thoroughly enjoying eating sloppy joes last week. Here's some fun video of the mess.

Peekaboo!

Finn vs. Kiwi

Although he ate the whole thing, Finn's first experience with a kiwi was pretty funny. Each time he took a bite, these were the faces he'd make. Then he'd grab another piece and do it all over again.

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.

Finn is on the move!

Back from Hiatus

I think that we, as photographers, may be suffering from the after-effects of a holiday season where our camera was rarely off. Sorry that you're having to pay for our lack of posting.

Here's a few we've snapped in the last few days:



Finn's crawling progress is coming along. He's abandoned the rocking on all fours for a yoga-style pose shown below.



Bathtime is a blast!

Dress up

On Saturday night Mickey and I got all dressed up and went to our work holiday party sans Finn. Since we rarely get this dressed up, I thought I would share the photo documentation. Of course, Finn is in the pictures since it's his blog.

Finn on all fours

Here is a fun video I shot with our digital camera. Sadly, there's no audio, but I think the video is darn good anyway. Finn's been working on crawling, and he's often up on all fours, rocking back and forth as you can see here. My prediction: Crawling by the end of the month.

Happy New Year!

It's 2007! The year Finn learns to talk, walk, crawl, read, and play piano! Perhaps I'm being optimistic on the last two, but come on... he's brilliant.

Here's an adorable pair of photos to brighten your day.
