I am going to level with you. This photo was not taken on Tuesday. It was taken on Thursday night. At 10pm. Also, this fabric wasn’t really supposed to be used for Finn’s weekly photo. It was supposed to be a new cafe curtain for my kitchen window but the pattern got very mixed reviews. Somehow, I snuck it in for a photo because….actually I’m really not sure why I used it; I have other, better choices. Personally, I like this fabric and I am going to make an apron out of it. Well, I could insert more disjointed thoughts here or just stop and give you the photo. Option B it is.

P.S. I thought for sure it was “fourty” but no, apparently 40 is spelled “forty”.

Finn is 9 months old today. Can’t really believe it.

Lately he has been up to lots of fun new things like sitting up from a belly-down position, pulling up to stand in his crib, side-stepping while holding on to something for balance, and cutting teeth left and right. He is also babbling all the time, biting everything in sight and making a beeline for all the dirtiest places in the house (why is this??? why???). He hasn’t been all that interested in anything but breastmilk…that is until today. He gobbled up both his sweet potatoes and bananas for lunch AND dinner, leaning forward for more at every bite. I guess he is officially ready to eat food, no dilly-dally-ing. More work for momma but I am excited about all the new things he will be trying soon!

I love this boy so so so much! Sadly, I am very behind on photo taking and getting my thoughts down on paper. The time is going by so heart-breaking-ly fast. I think I need to devote an entire day to just sorting through photos of the past 9 months.

Future b-boy contestant on SYTYCD? (Yeah, I abbreviated it. Whaaat.)
