We had a really nice day. The weather was cool but the sun was out. Finlay is over his cold and full of fun of energy. Tyler made pancakes this morning while Fin was taking a nice long nap. Our friend Tariq, and his son "Monk" (short for Monkey, a nickname) who is just 2 and a half months older than Fin, dropped by and the five of us went out to the park and for some Ethiopian food (which Finlay loves). The park was a bee hive of activity. So many children were swarming the playground that Finlay, who is patient, polite, calm, and cautious, could not get a turn on the slide unless mama bear found a way in. We were all concerned that Fin would get run over by an older kid or worse (lots of adults not looking where they are going). But Fin was excited, as always, to watch the older kids. He loves to observe, absorb, and puts what he learns into practice. For example, right now he is just loving rolling his arms for "Wheels on the Bus!" He does the actions when we sing the song, he does the actions to ask us to sing the song, and Tyler even saw him on the baby monitor doing the actions in his sleep! Fin learns from the big kids! He also picks up lots of new tricks from his dad! Check out the pics below to see what I'm talking about!
He wants to try everything we eat/drink!
Here is Finlay tasting his first cream ale.
He liked it. A lot.
Fin shared his snack with his friend, Monk.
By looking at this picture you may think it is windy out but it is actually due to his hair having this adorable natural curl. Lyndze calls the curls his "wings." So cute!
Fin and Monk are playing on the bench while waiting for lunch.
Lunch is on the way!
Mom and Fin on the patio enjoying some sunshine.
The park near our house has lots of fun activities for kids of all ages. Fin has a few favourites. Here you we can see Fin playing a piano like toy.
Weeeeeee! Some days Fin loves the slide. Other days he is not so fond of it. Today was definitely a slide day.
