Fin's Growing!

Our little Findley James is growing so fast. He's now 7 1/2 months old, and has acheived several new skills. And, he has his first 2 teeth! The bottom 2 front ones, as you can *kind of* see in these pictures of him smiling.

And, he's eating solid foods!! His very first solid food was green beans - we didn't want him to have fruits first so that he would only eat sweet foods. However, we didn't realize that green beans are the WORST tasting of all the jarred veggies - Fin didn't realize it either, with the first couple bites. The first pic is of him smiling, and then it goes downhill from there.

Starting to wonder what's going on...

Definately realizing this is NOT good


Since then, Fin has learned to LOVE solid foods and makes a very peculiar, characteristic "mmm...mum mum mum" sound with every bite. We tried to catch it on video here.

Fin is also sitting up well - he can sit up for 30 minutes or more at a time, and enjoys lunging for toys that are nearby. It's been fascinating watching him learn.


We have taken several good pictures of him over the last few months. Here are some, in no particular order.

Sitting at the kitchen counter in his jammies, just after waking up. He does not wake up well (like his mother). :)

With his new favorite toy, a plastic phone that Dru and I got in an attempt to distract him from his obsession with the TV remote...it didn't work...our remotes are covered in baby spit

Having fun with daddy...I LOVE this picture

Cousin Callia feeding Fin....the two of them have taken quite the shining to each other

Fin eating his sock...Dru thinks this is hilarious...it reminds him of a billy goat

Eating his bottle....I love the relaxed "hand on knee" pose

My two boys in hats, going out for a walk around the neighborhood

Goofin' around with dad....check out Fin's face...he's got quite the assortment of expressions now

Aww....

Finally, a pic with mommy....he's such a happy little guy

And finally, a video of Finny laughing at dad "wrestling around" with him
