This little chubs...
...is not totally cool with being any place other than in my arms. Last night I left him to play soccer. I only played for one hour and by the time I was done I had a bruise the size of Texas, a text message, and a desperate phone call from Chancho letting me know that Finn was inconsolable. I guess that is what I get for trying to get in shape rather than spending every second holding my newborn who is transforming from a tiny infant into a full blown baby before my very eyes. I honestly think that he grew during the night last night. His head looked bigger, his face slightly more rounded, a little more length on the bridge of his nose...it's strange because usually when you see somebody constantly, you don't notice the change so much but he is changing by the hour!

The truth is, I don't mind a bit (his needing to be held by me). I am loving my baby so very much and can't get enough of him. I feel an ache when we are apart for even a short time. I still don't even mind getting up in the night with him (which is still every 3 hours), whereas with my other kids I was often in tears in the morning because of my weariness. Finn has become very social within the last 2 weeks. He loves to be talked to and smiles all of the time. We've even had a giggle or two. He is cooing a lot and when Chancho talks to him after coming home from work, it is a full body event as Finn tries to get out some sounds to let him know he was missed. Lips are moving, arms flailing, legs kicking, and finally..."aahh-ggooo". I love it!

Finn is not really on a schedule for evenings yet. Only because I haven't forced it. He likes to be awake and held until about midnight. So that is what we do. But that does mean less blogging time for me. I checked my google reader and found that I had missed 97 blog posts from friends and family that I really like to read! Sorry for the lack of comments, though I have been reading while holding the baby the past couple of nights.

These next posts will probably be mostly photos of events this summer. Here we go...
