Our Family

This is just a little blog I'll keep about life with my boys. If the stories are of interest to anyone else, great, but the real reason I'm writing is so that I don't forget how wonderful it is to raise two amazing boys.

Finn's first 2 months

Finn first smiled at 5 weeks and laughed at 9 weeks. His first laugh was to me singing the hymn "To God Be the Glory" in a silly voice.

He is getting better, but until now he has totally be a mommy's boy. He would freak out with other people and calm down the instant I would hold him. I both love and hated that. It's so amazing to be that connected to my little baby, but also exhausting to never get a break. If I wanted to nap, he'd have to nap with me. Sleep in? Only if he was sleeping with me. I was the only one who could put him to sleep, so going out at night was impossible. However, the past few days he's done much better with Adam. I even got a 1 1/2 hour nap on my own this weekend! He still prefers mommy, but it's getting better.

He's also a swing baby. He's pretty happy in his swing and often falls asleep there. Roux never did that, so it's awesome to have one be so easy.

He's generally an easy baby (for me, at least). He falls asleep easily in my arms and is happy when he's awake. When people make eye contact with him he breaks out in a huge grin, it's adorable. He just wants to be happy. Even in the hospital he would fuss when his diaper was changed, but it barely qualified as crying and he'd stop as soon as it was over. When Roux would get upset as a baby, it would take him a while to calm down. Finn can calm down instantly with very little effort.

Sometimes all he wants is to be around people, especially me. He was happy in his swing as long as I was sitting in front of him so he could see me. I wanted him to fall asleep, so I was petting his cheek (his favorite thing) and keeping his paci in his mouth. If I made eye contact, though, he would just break out in his beautiful grin and start to "talk" to me. So cute! It's so fun to be loved this much for no reason!
