My thoughts about planning “second kid” birthdays Planning birthday parties for your second child can be challenging. I sat trying to think of what theme we should use for Finn’s first and was at a loss. I’d already done robots, dinosaurs, and monsters for Miles’ parties and Finn was too young to really have any preferences….Continue Reading “Finn’s First Birthday Party” →

12 month photo of Finn toothy smile as he looks up at Mom with the camera

I am writing this while Finn is already 13.5 months old. I had high hopes of photographing Finn in his birthday t-shirt that I made for him along with the gold star balloons from his party, but I never got around to it and our lives got busy and I got very good at making…Continue Reading “Finn | 1 Year” →

Finn | 11 Months

Family, Master Finn, Monthly Updates, My Life

This has been a very grown-up month for my Finn! One of my favorite things he’s been doing is pointing at everything! It’s so cute. He points at things he finds interesting, things he wants, things he’s scared of, and things he’s curious about. When we read books (which he’s really been enjoying lately) he…Continue Reading “Finn | 11 Months” →

We are officially walking!!!!! Well I have been walking for something like 30 years, but Finn has been a walker for two whole weeks or there about. He is also flashing around 6 teeth, most of which are coming in from the top. He loves to very deliberately isolate his index finger (or occasionally his…Continue Reading “Finn – 10 Months” →

Finn | 9 Months

Family, Master Finn, Monthly Updates, My Life, Updates

The other day Steven asked me “Do you realize it’s only a few months until Finn’s first birthday?” I then replied “Hush your mouth!!!” Finn has reached new levels of cuteness and bigness this month. He took his first step a few weeks ago and he can now take anywhere from 3-10 steps in a…Continue Reading “Finn | 9 Months” →

Finn | 8 Months

Family, Master Finn, Monthly Updates, My Life

Finn’s amazing qualities just shine brighter as he gets older and I continually fall more in love with him. He has a sweet, contented disposition and a strong, steady determination that keeps him trying and trying no matter what until he masters something. He has mastered crawling and has even mastered standing! He can pull himself up from…Continue Reading “Finn | 8 Months” →

Finn Seven Month Update - Official Featured Photo

The day Finn turned 7 months old he officially started crawling! Now I can’t keep him in one place long enough to snap up his onesie! Just a few days before he was officially on the move he pulled himself up on the couch a couple times. This month Finn spent most of his time…Continue Reading “Finn | 7 Months” →

Finn | 6 Months

Family, Master Finn, Monthly Updates, My Life

Here we are… half a year old!!! Nah… I think I’ll remain comfortably here in my realm of “denial.” I think we finally have a teether on our hands. Finn has been overall a very chill, happy baby, so it’s odd to have him fussing constantly. He will barely let me out of his sight,…Continue Reading “Finn | 6 Months” →

Finn | 5 Months

Family, Master Finn, Monthly Updates, My Life, Updates

Based on how often I find myself writing these updates, I should start planning Finn’s first birthday already. But for reals… time goes a gazillion times faster when you have your second kid. I was just realizing that we’re less than a month away from Finn’s 1/2 year. That’s insane to me! The timing of my…Continue Reading “Finn | 5 Months” →

Finn's 4 Month Update - Official Featured Photo

My big little. I call Miles my little big and Finn is my big little. Somehow that makes sense to me. Finn amazes me. Motherhood is almost a brand new experience this time around. Seeing each of my boys develop their own personality and quirks and imagining what passions they will discover as their sponginess expands…Continue Reading “Finn | 4 Months” →
