Over the last couple of weeks, we have had a very special visitor! Auntie Carr (aka "Antique Car") came for a visit! We'll be writing a blog post with more detail about her visit soon, but for now...
Just some pictures of our last couple of weeks...
He looked so cute in his overalls.
We went to the Art Museum. Finlay loved the interactive art; it was rice on a screen with a light underneath. You could move the rice to make shapes with the light. He was not too interested in the Emily Carr exhibit. I loved it.
Video installation. Finlay went right for it. I didn't get it, but he totally did.
Carleigh and Finlay watching the video installation.
Finlay's favourite piece was (drum-role please) the stairs! There was a glass railing and he was pushing his face against it and kissing it. I tried to score a picture with his little face all smushed but this was the result.
Finlay has discovered pillows. Anytime we have him on a bed, for a diaper change or clothes, and crawls right for the pillows and reclines like this. He-laaaaar-ee-ous!
So Finlay loves stairs. But more than stairs, he loves crawling to the laundry room on the first floor of our building and opening and closing the dryers. Most of the time, when we go with him, we don't have our keys to get in to the room. He cries and points at the door-knob. We show him that we can't get in. He doesn't believe us and thinks we're just being jerks. So, one night, Tyler went and got his keys and came back to where Finlay was screaming at the knob and we got him to watch Ty use his keys to open the door. The next day, Fin was begging Carleigh to go to the stairs/laundry room and she was trying to get him to let it go. Instead, he went into the hall closet, found our keys, and went to the front door and proceeded to hit the knob with them! My toddler is a genius.
Keys!
"So, what is this for?"
"Makes a good back-scratcher."
"I used the expensive back-scratcher!"
Finlay will not eat his co-co-yo (coconut yogurt) in the morning anymore. He also refuses to eat it in the highchair. But what he loves is sitting on the kitchen floor in the afternoon and eating so much co-co-yo that we have to stop him from finishing the whole container!
Yum!
Carleigh and I painted a special art project for Finlay's bedroom. I'll get some pics once it is up!
Holding Auntie Carr's hand makes a car ride tolerable.
Finlay loves his Scout puppy (thanks Aunt Kally)! Finlay loves his blankie. Finlay loves taking all of the toys out of his basket and sitting in the basket.
All good things make a very happy baby!
