Last Friday, our little Finny boo turned one! This has literally been the fastest year of my life. I'm not ready for this little guy to enter toddler hood but he is more than ready for it.
He's still not quite walking but he's right on the verge, creeping along couches and tables and crawling faster and faster each day. He's entered the climbing phase and is quite the little monkey, scaling over couches, pillows and anything we try and put in his way to corral him.
He's still sleeping like a champ, sometimes 12 solid hours a night (hallelujah!). His naps are shorter than Lincoln's were at this stage, but with the 12 hour night time sleeping schedule, that's to be expected.
He is the happiest little boy on the planet, but is starting to show early signs of those terrible twos. Throwing tantrums when he doesn't get his way and arching his back. His tantrums are hard not to smile/laugh about though, because he literally lays down on his tummy and puts his head down and whines. Cute now, probably not so cute a year from now, ha!
He absolutely loves his big brother Lincoln and wants to be near him all the time. He thinks he is the funniest thing on the planet. I hope their bond stays strong throughout their entire lives.
He loves to "shake his head no." Can say "mama, dada and nana."
We're starting to try and show him his different body parts including his nose, eyes, ears and cheeks. He loves sticking out his tongue at you! He's learning quickly and loves to be included in all the things!
We are still struggling with the day care sicky ickies but he seems to be doing a bit better than before. We've had a few more ear infections but they are quickly cleared up with the drops prescribed him.
Finn brings so much light and life to our little family of four! While a year went by way too quickly, I'm so excited to watch him continue to grow and thrive over the next year. Let's just cross our fingers those two year old tantrums stay far far away!
