slow down little fella...

finn has had a lot of firsts during the month of august. he took his first plane ride. he experienced the beach, which he loved and had no qualms eating the sand! found out just how awesome the jumperoo is. plus, he officially rolls over both ways, pretty much sits up unassisted, tried solid food (sweet potatoes, peaches, squash, bananas & peas) & began rocking on all fours this past week! now if only his first teeth would finally breakthrough since those seem to be the most painful first:(

let's circle back to the solids, i wouldn't say he is the most enthusiastic eater. as of yet, nothing seems to have him over the moon excited, unless he sees your glass of water or you eating bread. yup, finn loves bread! this was a total accident as i had a piece in my hand while holding him and he literally pulled my hand into his mouth. once he tasted it, he cried when i took it away! i tend to be cautious and follow the "wait 4-5 days when introducing a new food" mentality, but finn apparently doesn't follow this school of thought! i guess i have to speed things up for him since he seems to be quite fast in the rest of his development. didn't he get the memo that mama doesn't like you to grow up!?

and while not perfect, his sleep & schedule is world's better. just in time for his brother and sister's schedule to interfere! they do say the third child learns to go with the flow, and i would tend to agree(he's chilling right next to me as i type!). he really is a good baby. he is always smiling and giggling. it has been so fun to watch him grow and change. we are all so in love with him:)

i have a lot of pictures, i just need to get them uploaded. perhaps during the next nap...
