Three wise men looking for the star. The wise man on the right is actually a homeless person from downtown. Oops! Sorry it's Barb disguised at Ahmed Kharzi.

Posing with Ponies
We were down at Westlake Center with the big Carousel that I just love and there we were posing with "Ponies on Parade." The ponies are donated by various Seattle businesses as part of a charitable donation. There were some really beautiful pieces on display.

Candy Time!
Doug is in his element. He loves buttered popcorn flavored Jelly Bellies, root beer flavored gummy cokes and chocolate malted balls. Willie Wonka would be so Jealous!

French Fries
Rob tries to move the tall french fries at Seattle Center. These ribbons of metal are about 14 feet tall and they look like french fries.

What is it?
We were preparing Christmas dinner when we discovered that one of the yams looked like a baby. Nobody wanted to pose with the little creature. Barb thought it looked like a baby walrus, Rob said a baby seal, I thought it looked like a baby duck and Doug just thought it looked good enough to eat. He loves yams!

Grandma is so funny!
Finnegan and Grandma Terry share some laughs at the end of her two-week visit. Finnegan would actually talk (babble) with his Grandma. She knows how to make him laugh.

Finnegan smiles just before he falls asleep and then continues to smile during his sleep. He just might be the happiest baby in our house!

Grandmatime with Finnegan
When mom arrived she couldn't wait to hold Finnegan. We had to slow her down when she started undoing the buckles on his babyseat, but it all worked out. Here he is with Grandma Tere.

Getting ready for bed
Part of getting ready for bed is the ritual burping process.
Posted by dtreder at 3:55 PM | Comments (0)
Burping the baby
Finnegan looks pretty big here, but he's actually quite small when compared to Doug's hand. You should how loud his burps are. One time he burped so loud that his lips vibrated! I was amazed that such a big burp could come from such a little guy.

Just washing the dishes
It's nice to now have a double sink so we can wash the baby too. Finn doesn't mind the bath too much as long as the water is the right temperature. When he stretches out (startling) his long arms and legs, you can see the little boy inside.
Posted by dtreder at 12:12 PM | Comments (0)
A little bigger every day
He's starting to look a little different than he did as a newborn. His features are coming out. I think this picture is right after Finn showed me how he can hit the wall opposite the changing table when his diaper's off...so now it's bath time.

Banana Boy
This yellow outfit looked pretty silly until we put on the sweater that Aunt Carrie made for him. Now he's super-cute! the bear ears on the hat help too. He is toasty warm with his sweater on.

Surprise Daddy!
Finn demonstrated his long-range candle-snuffing ability while on the changing table. Now we have to treat him like he's always loaded and ready to fire.

A visit from Jessica
Jessica Graybill came by and brought us so much great stuff! She gave Finn some new clothes (so he doesn't have to be yellow banana boy all the time), some soothies for Nancy. We also got to visit with Ian who is only three months older but SO much bigger. I found out she had handmade the swaddling blankets that have turned out to be our favorites because they are so big.
She also gave us some great meals - a really wonderful simmered chicken and her world-famous mac&cheese (I'm serious - it's got spices, bread crumbs - it's a happy day at Amazon when Jules brings in the homemade mac&cheese).
Jessica has been so kind and such a good friend. I hope we can help her as much when she has to go back to work in a few weeks.
