One Month Check-up

Well Finn went for his one month check up yesterday.....at week 5 because they were full last week. But he's grown a ton! and I mean a ton. He's up to 12 lbs. 12 oz (which puts him in the 97th percentile for weight) and he's grown 2" already and is up to 23" (which puts him in the 85th percientile for height).....we've got a future footlball/basketball star on our hands.......it's only time before he buys Patrick and I our retirement home in Colorado:) hehe.

Oh, and he got a follow-up shot too. That was harder on me than him I think. His little lower lip quivered and he let out the most pathetic little squeak, but then they passed him to me and as soon as I had him cuddled up next to me he shut his eyes and started to fall asleep (it made me feel so good to comfort him). He was passed out before we even got home....what a cutie.

Tummy Time

Thanks to the great advice of my cousin's wife Kara, we invested in a tummy time mat...and mini boppy. Finn has been spending 5 minutes on it a couple of times a day. He's really working on that head and neck control, while also practicing his modeling skills. This is his look of surprise!

This is his look of angst.....

We also borrowed my sister-in-law's little gym mat...and Finn "grabbed" the rings this morning for the first time. He looks very proud and shocked.....(he probably grabbed them by accident, but he held on for dear life and giggle them around all excited)

5 Weeks old

Finnegan tuned 5 weeks old on Saturday.....He celebrated by wearing the onesie that Papa Glen bought him. There's a matching bib too:)


We also took a trip over to Great Grandma and Grandpa Bennett's house to introduce Finn. He was so excited he fell right to sleep in Patrick's arms. Great Grandpa Bennett is in the background.

Cankles continued

Okay, this is a continuation from the blog back in March right before Finn was born.....

This is what my ankles had swollen to the week before he arrived.....

This is what my ankles are supposed to look like. Crazy huh??!!??

Grandma and Aunt Julie

Just thought I'd put up a cute pic of my mom and sister with Finn:)

One Whole Month

This is my new favorite picture of my guys:) They are both watching something on TV. It must be captivating, or they are both exhausted.....I think it's the later of the two. I absolutely love how much they look like each other.....at least I think they do.

Well it seems that an entire month has passed, though it seems like only a few short days......now I understand why people say children grow so fast, it's really because time seems to fly.

We've had a few more baths lately too.....

And I also started using my handy, dandy sling:) Yes, that's baby Finn in there.....Look mom, no hands:) hehhe.

Mommy's Parents

My parent's came to visit:) yea!!!! This is the first time my mom held Finn....She's so excited, and Finn is pretty taken too. They flew all the way from Florida for the week, and we are so happy to get to share some time together.


This is how taken Finn is by Grandma Vicki......he's pretty intense about memorizing her face for future reference:)

Papa Glen is pretty excited about his turn holding Finn, and Finn seems to be pretty content:)

This is the inital meet and greet of the grandparents......I don't think we all could smile anymore! Notice all the things Grandma Vicki is holding (she's spoiling us already:) and I love it!!!
