Happy 4th!

From the little man in Stars and Stripes!

From 8.4 to 12 Lbs in 1 month

Yup. Finn has gained almost 4 lbs in one month. This kid EATS! Good thing I've got milk for him.

I put my foot in the shot for a little perspective. Everyone on the street thinks he's 3 or 4 months. NOPE...just ONE

He occasionally thinks he's Superman. Or he just likes to stretch. I've nicknamed him STRETCH because he's sooooo dramatic when he stretches after sleeping.

I thought this shirt was appropriate for this post.

Too many shoes?

OK, so I was counting my shoes the other day...I lost count somewhere around 60 pairs. There's more. I'll do an official count someday. Anyhow, at any point since Junior High I've owned several pairs of Vans. I've been holding at 6 for a while. Do I really need 3 pairs of slip-ons? Well they came in handy when I was pregnant and Jared wasn't around to tie my shoes...so did the velcro ones. The bottom right ones are essential, I've always had to have a pair of the blue old skool...men's of course. The woman's are shaped funny.

I also love clogs. Currently I own 5 pairs. I lived in those also while I was pregnant. So easy to slip on and off without bending over. Jared promised me that we'd make it the the Netherlands someday so I can acquire a pair of real clogs...or did I just promise myself?

Bull's Eye

The other night when Jared was holding Finn and swinging him to sleep, he spit out his binky and it landed in my water glass.

Got Milk?

I do! Actually I have so much that I accidentally drench my leg when I'm chatting with Finn after nursing him.

A few days ago Jared got Finn to take a bottle of milk I pumped earlier that day. He downed it! So now he gives him a bottle every evening. It's good bonding time.

Finn just loves hanging with his Dad in the evening...a very sleep Dad.

So cute when he sleeps!

Alice in Wonderland

*Live Blog*

Jared and I are currently watching the Disney version of "Alice in Wonderland." Frankly I've always thought it a very depressing movie.
REASONS:
1. Why would she follow a white rabbit? Not interesting and weird...beside white rabbits always scared me with their red eyes.
2. I hate cats.
3. Y'know the part when the dog sweeps away the path she's on with his nose? Well, I found that severely depressing. Now she was lost in the wilderness.
4. The big fat queen who just wants to kill everyone.
5. It's basically just about drugs. (Something I found out later on in my life.)

However she does say such things as, "How peculiar?" and "Curious." I'm going to start using these in my everyday vocabulary. If you are "curious" and think "how peculiar that Alice in using such terms," you'll know why.
