I am loving having my baby Finn so so so much. I pretty much just hold him all day every day. When I do put him down, he is so sweet and good. I don't know exactly how much he weighs. I have a digital scale and I tried to figure it out by weighing myself and then holding him and weighing myself again. So, let's say the scale said I weigh 400 pounds (fairly accurate at this point), I would pick him up and it would say 406.5. Then I tried again and it said 407. So I tried it again and it said 406.5. Then I got way too depressed from getting on and off the scale so I stopped. Anyway, Finn weighs somewhere close to 7 pounds now. He is growing so fast!
To celebrate his 8 weeks of birth (or just because we all happened to be together at my parent's house) we took some photos of Finn with his 3 boy cousins who were all born within 4 months of each other. My niece, Amber, also had a baby girl during this time but, regrettably, she lives on the on the opposite end of the country.
The boys with their mamas are Jesse & Nancy, Israel & Ashley, Lewis & Kristen, Miles & Me. Jesse and Miles are first cousins. Israel and Lewis are first cousins and cousins-once-removed to Jesse and Miles (because Kristen and Ashley are my nieces). But our kids don't know any difference between which people are their cousins and which are their aunts/uncles in this family sometimes because...well...the age differences and all that. Too much typing. The End.

I can't believe his chubby cheeks - so sweet. I bet you all had fun taking those pictures! What a fun mother's day memory for you all.
Scales are so frustrating. I finally bought one and every time I get on it, it says something different. Apparently I gain and lose 5 pounds every other hour.
Finn looks fabulous, you'd never know his first days were such a scary time.
Oh my goodness, talk about darling!! What a sweet way to remember your first Mother's Day together. Cousins are the very best! What a blessing! Finn just keep getting cuter and cuter... and how is that possible??? Thank you for sharing! Blessings~ Mare
Oh he is so stinkin cute. I followed posts when you were in the hospital and you and Finn were in my prayers. I am so glad he is doing well.
he's getting cuter every time i see new pics. how is that possible, since he's been beyond adorable since birth?? :)
I love love that you weigh 400 pounds. You carry it so freakin' awesomely!!! AND, I am so happy that very tiny man has a little bit of chub on his cheeks (cause remember poor Carsy at 5 months still with his hollow little cheeks. I am also glad that he only has like 2 more pounds before he will be as big as one of my babies at birth. I almost pass out over his tiny cuteness on the reare occasion when I am hands free of my own chubby kid and get to hold your boy!!!
That is adorable, time is flying.
So cute, he is getting big! That picture is adorable and I bet they will love it when they get older:)
how much did he weigh when he was born? I am so jealous I want a baby bad but I need to wait.
Finn is such a cute little guy! Yeah right you weigh a ton! If only everyone looked as good as you:).
Yes I am finally back to my computer. And what great pics of you sweet mommies. I would have been so jealous not to be there holding a new baby of my own a week ago, but since Josh has gone all I think is what was I thinking having all these kids? JK I love love love them! But I do need some more Finny time Pronto!!!!!!!!!
Hurray! for chubby baby! I'm so so happy that he is thriving! Love you both so much!
