WOW! Finn weighs 20 lb, 5 oz (50th %tile) and is 27" long (25th %tile). His head is in the 90th %tile! He is the smallest of all my babies! He is wearing 12 month clothes and crawling all over the place! As of 10/3/11 he is signing "more" during meals and as of 10/4/11 doing "so big." His favorite things to get into are the pantry, magazines, and dishwasher! If I leave the dishwasher open, he is trying to pull up on it, and he loves to get his hands on the oil containers in the bottom of the pantry. He also follows me into the bathroom and loves to tear at the magazines! His two bottom teeth are growing so much! He is still recovering from his Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease, as evident in the picture! Poor guy! Lucy's school had an outbreak of it, and apparently brought it home to Finn. The girls must have already had it since it is highly contagious and they didn't get it this time around, and you only get it once in your lifetime. I had Finn in the waiting room of the pediatrician's for his 9 month old well-check when I noticed a red bump by his mouth, then I looked at his hands and noticed a red bump, then I whipped his socks off, and they were there too! I quickly moved us to the "sick" side of the waiting room! He is completely fine, you would have never known he was sick, except for the awful red welts! You can even see them on the bottom of his feet in the picture! Oh, and it should be called Hand, Foot, Mouth, and BUTT disease!
He has become very tempermental during meals...if he doesn't want to eat, he turns his head, or he throws his food on the ground! His sippy cups gets thrown on the ground after 2 sips...Jaxson has a permanent post at Finn's side because everything is going on the ground these days! I will tell him "No" firmly, but then he does a fake cry, he is so behavioral sometimes!
I think sometimes he's going to turn into a Cheerio he loves them so much! He enjoys going on shopping trips, anywhere he can look at people! He turns all the way around to watch!
Finn got Baptized on 10/9/11 in Baltimore on Jeff's boat the USCG Eagle with Msgr. John FitzGerald. Jeff was his Godfather, Renee is his Godmother, but Sarah stood in as proxy. The kids all did well on the 14 hour drive to Baltimore. Nana and Papa are finally home, which has been nice for Kenny and I to have some breaks!
