where is finny...
where is finny, here he is! this is a current favorite song. it calms him down almost immediately. that said, finn rarely needs to be calmed down. he is quite possibly the happiest, easy going, lovable baby. i guess it comes with the territory of being the third child because i think his motto should be "i'm just along for the ride!" he spends a good part of his day in the car picking up his siblings, going to the store, at gym day care or hockey practice. keeping his routine has been a challenge and there are some days where a cat nap must suffice, but all in all his is as well-rounded as it gets!
where to being in regards to his milestones. it's true what they say about the third child or subsequent children, they really "do" things so much quicker! he refused table foods at 7 months, mastered the sippy by then as well, crawled at about 7.5 months, pulled up about a week after learning to crawl, signed "more" at 8 months, clapped at 8 months, can walk with a push walked since christmas, his newest feat is pointing when asked where the light is or his head or his favorite the fan(taking after his brother;). in between months 9 & 10 he got his 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th tooth! he really needs to slow down, doesn't he know that his mama has the hardest time with her little ones getting bigger!
on another note, let's circle back to food...he loves it! he does really well with a lot of different textures. banana is a breakfast staple, hummus is a must for lunch and dinner is usually some variation of what the rest of us are eating. i couldn't believe it when he ate beets at dinner the other night!
of course there are some negatives, he has had 5 or 6 ear infections since october(i lost count, oops). we've already seen an ENT in regards to tubes. every part of me wants him to miraculously stop getting the infections so we don't have to go this route, but i'm a realist and understand that it may be for the greater good. it is so horrible seeing him in pain, and to think of all the antibiotics he has had over the course of his ten months, i just pray that he is getting it all out now. that being said it makes bringing up the fact that he does not sleep through the night seem trivial. he has not had the chance to get into a good rhythm and i'm really tired because of it!
