What? Do you just read your books? I fully enjoy all parts of mine!
It took four months and now I am nearly too long for it, but I finally like my swing!Finnegan is an official razzing-machine! I was a bit sad when Jon told me he had heard Finnegan razzing this morning while I got in a cat nap, but I was happy again when he razzed in the afternoon as we were playing and I was able to see it first-hand. He looks so cute when he does it and of course now that he has discovered this amazing new ability, he did it all evening long. He also razzed in my ear as I was trying to get burp him in an effort to get him snoozy and off to dream land in his cradle. I had to laugh out loud as I had thought he was asleep, but no, he was waiting for the perfect moment to blow some raspberries against mom's cheek and in her ear.
This week was also important for Jon and I as we stumbled for a moment in our resolve and then picked ourselves back up again. We had already decided when we would start solid foods and Finnegan sleeping in his own room. Alas, on the 10th his doctor insisted he was ready for solid foods and so we began them. For five days we did what his doctor thought was right before we discussed it and essentially remembered, hey we decide what's right! We have since discontinued solid foods! We also toyed a lot with the idea of putting him in his own room for sleep because of what someone at my parents' group said, but we quickly remembered that we had already made up our minds on the topic and that we need to stick with what we know is best. I think it is so hard to remember that you know what is best as a parent when everyone ALWAYS wants to give you their opinion and tell you what you should be doing. Still, we are back on track with our sweet little boy and enjoying all of our moments together.
Happy Valentine's Day from the boy in the red sweater
