We just can't believe that Finlay is already three months old! The forth trimester, as it is known, is over. And life is just getting more and more fun! Finlay is getting older - more interested in books, games, and songs. He is now out of the bassinet attachment for his stroller and graduated to what has been dubbed "the big boy stroller." He loves it! He can look around and look up at us as we push him. We see lots of smiles and he is cooing to tell us what he sees. His language and needs are becoming more comprehensible to us and this makes life a lot more pleasant for all involved. Also, and this goes without saying, he is getting cuter and cuter by the hour!
Tyler and I are feeling really good about this whole parenthood thing. We were reminiscing about the early days and weeks when every night feeding and changing may have kept us up for an hour or more and how excited we would be if things only took 45 minutes. Now, Fin needs less changings and feedings and we are barely more than a few minutes for a change and I hardly wake up for a feeding.
There is nothing like Finlay's smiles and laugh! He is so much more engaged with the world and his world is us. He just lights up when he sees Tyler or I and he loves when we are silly with him.
We bought him a Jolly Jumper to celebrate this milestone and he is really taking to it. He isn't jumping right off the bat but he certainly is jolly. He is moving about and turning to look at us. I'm excited about the exercise he will get playing in this new toy.
Now, for the most recent pictures:
We think that Finlay might be teething. He seems to chew more than suck on our fingers as of late. Here he is going to town on Tyler's hand. He holds on tight and looks at Tyler with appreciation.
Tyler and I read to Finlay everyday. Fin is really starting to look at the books and pay attention. He seems to enjoy the books with little smiles and coos.
Look at that moment - so special!
Fin is grabbing his caterpillar toy more and more. I think that it is more intentional than accidental these days.
Finlay is really taking to his Bumbo. This is great because I had him in it while I was making pie the other day and he watched intently and I taught him how to roll a perfect crust. In this photo, Tyler is showing Fin how he makes bread. Fin is going to be a wonderful cook and baker!
There was a time when Asha was way bigger than Finlay. But now, the big sister is looking smaller than her little brother. Aren't they cute?
Fin in his new Jolly Jumper with his mum encouraging him.
We got some smiles and bursts of excitement!
He looks to little in it but I can't believe he's old enough to do this! He's been standing on our laps and holding up his head for a while now. He was perfectly comfortable in the Jumper.
That's all for now!
Love Lyndze, Tyler and Finlay
