Our little Finn turned two this week! We love him so much! Let's take our usual stroll down memory lane, shall we?
Brand new boy.
First birthday yumminess.
One year old Finners.
Literally the only picture I could find of 18-month-old Finn.
He is just the best. He is talking up a storm. He is such a cute, polite little guy right now, he says "Thank you!" for any little thing someone does for him. He is still working on getting all his teeth in, that has been a slow process for him! He loves, loves, loves trucks. He still excitedly points out any truck we see when we are out and about. He loves to zoom all his trucks around the floor, and you better watch out for your feet or he will run you right over. He loves to color. He will scribble all over a paper and then tell me "see, cats!" or "see, Daddy!" or whatever else he thinks he has drawn. He loves his sisters so much and has a cute and different relationship with each of them. He is very concerned when either of them is hurt or sad and will hurry over to hug and kiss them. We love him so much and are so lucky to have him in our family!
We tried to do a little two-year-old photo shoot but he was quite uncooperative. Marc still managed to get a few good ones.
I thought maybe getting Pineapple the kitten in on the action would make him smile more, but little stinker just kept hiding his face in the chair.
We had Stake Conference on his actual birthday, which wasn't awesome for a two-year-old. Luckily he knew he had a Paw Patrol cake waiting for him when we got home. All three of them have been so excited about this cake for weeks! It was pretty yummy, but the icing picture part was not delightful. It was a little too hard for actual eating but once we peeled it off they were good to go.
The kids picked these party masks instead of hats. They turned out kind of creepy...
Trains! He's always so excited to play with the trains at the library, and he was thrilled to get his own.
Loving his new Anna doll. He was happy to share his train set with his sisters but wouldn't let them near his Anna doll! And that Toot book! We got it from the library a few months ago and Finn just thought it was the funniest thing he has ever read. We renewed it as many times as we could and he was so bummed when we finally had to return it. He would ask me often "Toot? Liberry?", so of course we had to get him his very own copy for his birthday.
Teresa had school off today for Rosh Hashanah, so Marc took the day off work so we could keep celebrating. We took the kids down to Baltimore for a pirate cruise. Nora was a bit nervous while we were waiting to leave, she needed us to clarify several times that they were not real, actual, mean pirates that we would be meeting.
Tired boy. We were scheduled to go on the 9:30 cruise, but they didn't have enough patrons so asked if we could switch to 11:30. Of course that made it fall right in the middle of nap time. Finn still had a blast, but he had to take a few breaks in there.
Cute little pirate boy
Overall I think he had a pretty great birthday!
