This is going by way too fast. Both Tyler and I keep shaking our heads in disbelief. It seems like yesterday Finlay was this tiny baby wearing a black kitten hat!
Finlay has definitely learned a lot of the last month. He can move things from one hand to the other. He understands that a mirror shows a reflection and where to look for the person in the mirror. He understands that when we go into another room that we still exist - this means separation anxiety when I leave and a lot of excitement and reaching for me when I return. This is really sweet but also exhausting. Tyler feels a little rejected...
Also, we have made lots of progress with the sign language. Finlay is babbling with his hands (moving them but not making any signs). He recognized a bunch of signs when we do them including; eat, more, milk, book, cat, water, jump (for Jolly Jumper), and music. We are working on fan, bath and toy (sometimes he seems to recognize these). Also, we have introduced mummy, daddy, aunt, uncle, grandma, grandpa, play, diaper, dance, dog, hurt, chiropractor, cracker, cookie, happy and a few more. We just keep using signs and every few days or so he seems to understand another. He is very interested in what our hands are doing!
We went to the park to try out the baby swing. There seems to be some playground politics that we have yet to understand. I don't think we upset anyone but it took a long time to get an empty swing and I watched some interesting interactions while waiting. Have to learn some of that! Here is a video of that first swing!

He seems to enjoy it but he was distracted by the water sprinkler and the kids playing. We'll try again soon!

Finlay has been to many cafes. Here he is in Tre Fantastico (centre), just down the street from our place, sitting with his dad (right) who is enjoying an americano (left).

He was smiling and giggling!
"This is the best day of my life - Day 207!"
Yes, as of today, Finlay is:
7 months old
OR 30 weeks old
OR 212 days old
OR just over 5,000 hours old
OR about 305 thousand minutes old
OR 18.3 million seconds old and counting...
And always a source of joy and love!
