So, Finn is officially mobile....he hasn't mastered the full crawl, but he is certainly getting down the Army crawl. I can no longer put him down, go do something, and then expect him to be in the same place! He is even going through a stage where Mommy CAN NOT be out of his sight! It sure makes it hard to get anything done around here! BUT he is even more fun than before, and his personality blooms more and more each day! He has also borrowed a friend's walker, and he loves it. He started walking backwards first, but now is starting to get the hang of that too.
He has also become an early riser....he still goes to bed round 6, but he is up around 5:45 or 6 these days, and I'm not sure if it's because of the sunlight, or he is just dying to see one of us! Who knows, but I'm thinking about changing the bedtime a little later, and making mine a bit earlier!
We also have kicked the dog to the curb...just kidding! She no longer sleeps with us in the bed, I mean. Which has been wonderful! I have been sleeping great! It's nice to know it's not always exhaustion when you have kids and pets! Even if I get less sleep, I feel better because it is not interrupted 2-3 times!
In one month we will be making our big trip to the East Coast. It will be Finn's first plane ride and I'm hoping that he does well and has a great time! Even just the airport should bring him lots of entertainment with all the people watching. I'm very excited to get out of Enid for a while, it's been a long time since I've been out of town, since before Finn was born! It will be nice for Jeff to have some time off as well...I know we are both ready to have some time we can all spend together.

So many new things...
It feels like there have been so many firsts these last few weeks...Finn has been trying all kinds of new foods, and he is such a good eater! He is now eating three meals a day in addition to the regular bottles of milk. He has tried squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, peas, pears, bananas, apples, and even oatmeal! He is great about opening his mouth wide to let me know he wants more...it's amazing the little ways he can communicate what he wants without even talking.
He has even started walking around the house with me; I hold his hand and he takes steps...a little wobbly, but much sturdier on his legs than I imagined at this age..I'm excited for him, but also scared that I may have to be chasing him around the house sooner than I want! he especially loves walking after Daddy, Boo, and Lily. Boo was so upset that he could chase after her, that she hid under the bed!
Tuesday was Finn's first swim lesson. He took to the water immediately, kicking his legs, and putting his face in the water- he was surprised to get a face full of it, but continued to forget what would happen when he did so! We had such a good time sharing this experience with him, and we even know another little girl in the class, so it makes for a good time for him to get to know another kid.
We had his 6 months check up Monday, and he did the best ever when getting his vaccines. he hardly cried at all! And he is about average on weight and height...he still has super cute pudgy legs and doesn't even look like he has wrists! HaHa! The doctor said his lower two teeth are starting to move up, so not sure when we will see them, but he's definitely chewing on everything he can get his little paws on.
As for me, I am still enjoying Friday school for Finn, getting to have a day to myself- I even spent last Friday at EPH (local vet hospital) and got to work on some vet tech skills. It was exciting to have adult interaction, as well as cleaning a dog's teeth! It was a first for me; very interesting and fun!
This weekend is my first mother's day, and I celebrate my birthday that day too! Even after 6 months, I still seem to forget I'm a mom, just like some days I forget I'm not playing grown up, it's real!
