a little visit

Just a quick stop in to prove we're still around and that the light in the new house is AWESOME!

a neglectful parent

not to finn, but to my blog...
i'll be back, little blog. we hope to be moved into our new house on friday and there's much to do before then!

finding room to grow

Today, we bought a house.
Our first house guest is coming next Friday, so we've got a lot of work to do between now and then.
It's so strange to think that Finn won't remember this little house that we've spent the last (almost) year (though I'm sure many of you will be glad to see something other than the same old rug and couch in the background of photos).
We've all learned so much together in this space - more, more, more than I ever could have imagined... I know we've got a way to go, but now we've got some space to grow...stay tuned for photos!!!

11

At 11 months, Finn's favorite things to do include drumming on our djembe (especially with the animals from his jungle puzzle), putting things into his bucket, and taking things out of his bucket.

He loooooooooves pear and smoothies in the morning, and takes great pride in making huge messes at the table.

He is still obsessed with cats and will lunge gracelessly at any cat that wanders by.

He is still unapologetic about his lack of interest in crawling, walking, or any of the other things he's "supposed" to be doing. He's way too busy being awesome to worry about milestones.

One more month, buddy - sometimes I wonder what the heck we did without you. We certainly slept more. And wasted more time. And spent more money on inane things.

And we thought we knew what love was.

But we were wrong.
