All About Finn

What do I say about the craziest 10-month old I've ever seen??!  Finn is absolutely a doll.  Our home teacher has said a couple of times now that "Finn is good for the ego."  He is such a happy baby.  He loves attention and will smile and reward you greatly for any attempt you take at making him laugh.  He has captured the hearts of all of the women at church and pretty much every man, too.  The most frequently heard comment is "He's such a happy baby."  And it's so true.  He's our smiley little guy who has the most determination.  Not only has he mastered walking, he can now turn in circles, dance, and pretty much run.  He even managed to climb up on the couch (without the cushions) and the bathtub yesterday.  I'm not kidding.  He's very independent and is good at entertaining himself.  But if I turn my back for 10 seconds, I may never find him again.....and when I do find him there's normally a disaster, too.

Finn is also learning to talk.  There have been several random words that we've thought we've heard him repeat.  He seems to have picked up on "bye bye", though.  I have heard him several times say "Buh" as Reid goes through doors and even once when Kai did.  I think he's saying "bye".  He also loves to make noises with his lips.  He will grab our hands and have us pat his lips or wiggle his lips as he makes noise.  And if we stop when he's not done, he will continue with his own finger.  He also has a tendency to blow raspberries on my arm when he's having a hard time settling down for bed.  Of course, sometimes I end up getting bit when he does that.  He has been biting a lot.  Maybe we have more teeth coming??

We sure do love this little guy!
