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!
crazy how many firsts there are every single day! I am so excited for micah to be in the water. he loves the bath and has even tried a "shower" and he seems to do really well. plus i have some totally cute swim trunks he will look adorable in!!
