7/29/2011 - Friday Night

We try to get takeout or go out to dinner every Friday night. And I would say that tonight was a success. Liam was a trooper and stayed up a little past his bedtime and was pretty much in good spirits all night until the drive home. Finny was his charming self and ate a good good dinner! Ah, the little things in life that make you feel like you can conquer the world.

7/28/2011 - Stall Tactics

Finn is a smart smart little boy. He uses any and all stall tactics to stay up as late as possible. He does it in a smart way too. He rarely ever has temper tantrums at night. He simple uses the cute playful method, like hiding behind his brother's crib and giggling. So it's virtually impossible to get mad at him. Dude, I am such a sucker for this kid.

7/27/2011 - Feeling less sick

Finny stayed home sick with papa today. He's been nursing a nasty cold since last Friday. Last night he had a coughing fit in the middle of the night and woke up rather groggy and out of it this morning. Jesse decided to keep him out of school just to rest up. By the time I got home from work today, he was almost up to snuff. Still has a little bit of the runny nose, but he was feeling well enough to run around out back and make mini mischief.

7/26/2011 - His father's son

From Drop Box

Much like his adventurous eating papa, Finn likes some interesting food combos. Tonight it was mac & cheese and seaweed. He can't get enough of the salty sticky seaweed. Odd coming from the kid that rarely tries any new foods. He ate almost an entire bag of Korean seaweed. Odd ... just odd.

7/25/2011 - Putting it all away

Last week I blogged about our avid reader, Mr. Finn. Though I love his appetite for books, I can't handle the mess he leaves behind. We really need to work on his clean up skills. It's starting to cramp our style.

7/24/2011 - Sweet Potato

Liam had hid first solid foods today! Sweet potatoes were a hit! He is going for round number 2 of sweet potatoes today. This one's going to be a great eater!

7/23/2011 - Ocean Beach

From Drop Box

We took the kids to Ocean Beach today. Though it was an overcast and chilly day, we made the best of it. Finn did sprints on the beach with Jesse in hot pursuit. Liam got the enjoy the cool ocean breeze on his face for the first time. He seemed to enjoy it. I love CA. I'm not sure we could ever leave.
