This month kicked off his first encounter with daycare. The first few days were rough, but he's adjusting fairly well and fairly quickly which we are very grateful for. Of course, with daycare comes the onslaught of germs and he has also spent a good portion of this past month fighting one cold after another. It breaks my heart to see him suffer, but he smiles right through it.
Finn took his second trip out to the island this month, and we went up to Greenbluff for his first apple picking trip. We'll be spending a bunch more time up there as part of all of the holiday fun that's only just beginning.
He is sitting like a pro, babbling a way and is starting to scoot/slide to get around. Not crawling yet, but those legs are kicking and working and I'm sure we're not too far off from having a crawler. He loves to stand and bounce and giggle the day away. I am in so much awe of how happy he is almost all of the time.
Sleep is still a struggle for us. We have finally weaned him off the night time bottle but he still looks for it in the middle of the night so some nights are harder than others when it comes to getting him to go to sleep and stay asleep. He hasn't transitioned to his crib yet and naps are still very short unless he's being held. Hopefully this month he'll learn to nap a little long, self sooth a little better and soon the transition to the crib can begin.
Finn is absolutely obsessed with his big brother Lincoln and just wants to stare and play with him all day long. He watches Lincoln so intently and you can see his little brain working to try and figure him out. I sure hope they continue to love each other as intensely as they currently do.
We are in thick of it right now with school and work and holidays quickly approaching. I am very much hoping that time slows down as Finn is growing up way too fast. It feels like I blinked and we hit 7 months. As always, I can't wait to see what the next month brings!
And here's a look at Lincoln's seven month update as well!
