Finn is 5 months old!

Time is flying by like it usually does, whether we like it or not. Finn turned 5 months as Selah turned 2. He is quite the little ball of action. He rolls all over to get to wherever he needs to go. Gone are the times of laying him down and expecting him to be there when you get back. Instead he rolls back and forth and turns this way and that until he is feets away from where you put him.

He is still sleeping through the night from about 9:30 till 7. He has it timed perfectly because then daddy can get up to feed him and put him back to bed until mommy and Selah wake up...I know, it is a rough life :)

He has begun to slobber even more..is that possible? You would think we would see a tooth one of these days. Usually you can find him with his fist, finger, or thumb in his mouth chewing away. His hair is starting to fill in more and maybe darken a little. We still have bets going to see if it will be like Selah's. Her hair filled in around 9 months and then went from stick straight to curly. Finn's seems to be the same way. Whenever it is wet it curls up. So we shall see :)

He is still the best baby, in our opinions of course :) Very well mannered and easy going. Selah still bugs him on occasion and now since he is grabbing toys loves to take them away from him. The other day I explained she needed to ask Finn and say please before taking a toy from him (even though he seems to care less) and give him a different toy to play with. So the other day I had to laugh as she walked up to him while he was playing and said "rabbit please", took the toy from him, and left. Poor Finn he just lays there and smiles at her. Hopefully it will last..Ha! I did catch them in a kodak moment although my camera was no where to be found...Selah had asked to hold Finn and so they sat there together with her arm across his neck and shoulder and she "read" him a book. He just layed against her smiling...it was too precious! I just love my kiddos so much!

So here are the latest pics of our growing boy...

Tanner's Orchard

We got to go to Tanner's Orchard on Sept. 27th. We had to cancel once because of the weather, but this day was perfect. A little cooler, but the sun was out. My mom went along and we met up with my cousins and their kids for the afternoon. I got a few pictures and then my camera battery went out...so email me some pictures girls of the rest of the day :)

Finn and the pumpkins

Selah not for sure what to think of the sea of orange
We are so glad Colby is back home along with his mommy and daddy - what a cutie!


Selah loved meeting the goats and getting to feed them. Last year she was a little timid. This year, not so much! She dove right in there and loved every minute.



Overall it was a great day! We can't wait to go back again. Although I think we gained some pounds after bringing home the yummy carmel apples, apple cider donuts, and apple cider!

A blast from the past...month that is!

I am so far behind on past pictures so here are a few from our Labor Day Weekend... amongst other things we had our first weiner roast of the season at Tadd's parents house filled with ladder ball games, tether ball, eating hot dogs, and roasting marshmellows. It was the perfect weather for it.



Trying to get a good picture of the grandkids...anymore it is getting impossible :)
