Finn - Week 3

POO REPORT - This weeks poo can be described as 'abundant'...'copious'...'substantial'...'voluminous'...you get the picture. Finn began binge breast feeding this week like a college freshman with a fake ID. This may also explain his apparent gain of at least one pound. The kid also found his thumba few days ago, although it is so far a fluke, as he has yet to rely on it for pacification. Aunt Jenni Nabb was called back to Nebraska by the Catholic Church of Exeter to sing for a fund raiser. She stopped in for five days for her second visit to her new nephew. She practiced her quiver of classic jazz tunes, often with the little guy nearby, getting his lessons in rhthym. We are so lucky to have to so much help. The end of the week brought ~7 inches of fresh snow, and aunt Jenni babysat while Nicki and I nordic skied in nearby Elmwood Park. The snow was a welcome change to an otherwise hum-drum winter which, prior to this week, had not delivered enough snow to slide on. The dogs were more exicted than we were to get out and sprint through the fluffy white stuff, which we are sure reminds them of their mountainous origins. Life has been great as new parents. We took the little guy to the zoo on Monday to stretch our legs and get out of the house. Watching mountain gorillas with your own little monkey slung around your neck is surreal.

  1. OMG you're x-country skiing 3 weeks after giving birth!?! I'm not sure whether to bow down in front of you or shake you, Nicki! The picture of Finn sicking his thumb is soooo precious. Hugs to all of you!
