Happy Memorial Day

Finn likes riding his little car.

He can now get on and off all by himself. What a big boy.


Oh and he's singing to himself in gibberish.


Ainsley missed her morning nap to go to brunch at a friends' house. She pooped out in the car on the way home.

On a roll

So Ainsley is mobile. She rolled over completely by herself this morning during her and Finn's toon time. Patrick was upstairs sleeping in and I was screaming with delight (he said he heard me cheering her on). I am so proud of her and she's delighted with herself. She just giggles when she's doing it. I don't have any pics of it today I was just enjoying it too much. I'll try to get some tomorrow.

But I also thought you'd all like to know the real Charlie Brown is back in town. (and he likes Mizzou apparently) I shaved his head bc he was getting to hot in the stl heat and his helmet.

Playdate

Finn, Ainsley and I went to our new friends' house yesterday. Anne, Peter and Molly are our new friends. Peter is almost exactly Finn's age and he has epilepsy too. Molly is 4 and peter's older sister and I'm bummed bc I didn't get any cute pictures of her. She was so good sharing with the boys and letting me and Anne talk. Anne and I met through mutual friends and is a part of a little group of 4 moms o know that have kids with epilepsy- they are great support for me and Finn.

Here are Peter and Finn playing legos together (beside eachother really not together:)

And later Finn kept wanting to press the barnyard music on their fridge and dance. Peter saw what fun Finn was having and the two of them broke it down in the kitchen with their own version of a dance club. It was super cute- Finn just did the white man bounce and Peter broke out the good stuff and spun around real fast:). I have video but don't know how to load it, but let me assure you it is super cute!

Finn ganked ainsley's new sophie giraffe.

He saw me taking a pic and quickly got up and started running off so he could keep it:).

Kicking and screaming

Ainsley is learning to roll over- even if she keeps getting stuck. She hasn't quite figured out the upper body part yet but I think it will only be a day or two. She just grows so fast.

She got tuckered out and mildly fell asleep in "half roll".


What a sweetie pie.


Finn the proceeded to get my attention by first saying "lo" into the Elmo remote and then into my old pink razor. Then he threw a few DVDs down the steps-oh my big boy, he's a two year old what can I say?!

Bittersweet

This weekend started out well. I took finn to a special playgroup for kids with special needs. It was so much fun and the facility was amazing. There was so much for finn to play with. This us just one wall outside with things on it for kids to touch-it was a mini magic house.

Then one of my best friends Jamie had her baby shower. This is me, jamie and our other bestie Crystal.


This is Bennett,Crystal's son touching "baby". (he also got a little boobie action on accident)


Then we went and got this cute little giraffe toy for Ainsley. Her name is Sophie and she's made of natural rubber and is now ainsley's favorite:)


Getting some kisses.


Laying together.


More kisses.


Ainsley has found the wonder of tv. She watches "you baby can read" videos with Finn. I expect she'll be reading in a month or so-jk.


Finn unfortunately had a seizure last night after our hot walk to kaldis-we won't be doing that again in the stl heat-we should have known better. So after an amazing weekend Patrick and I watched the lost finale depressed about finn's seizure.

But he woke up this morning in all his spoon glory and has been an angel all day.


Poor Ainsley was hot on the walk too, but she only woke up twice last night so it helped her get some good rest:) she was all smiles at breakfast.


Overall, pretty good weekend with a little twist of sad reality.
