Finn's Second Week

POO REPORT: This weeks poo can be summarized as 'mustard seed to seedy spinach'. Per the request of several family members, and to assure no controversy in Finn's future presidential campaign, we are excluding pictures of actual poo :(...we do, however, take requests. Week two has been full of excitement, things like the monumental 'loss of remaining umbilical cord', binge breastfeeding, and the discovery of the kung-fu grip on the pacifier. The end of the week brought warmer weather and allowed us to get out of the house and get Finn into some fresh air. On Friday we took a stroll around nearby Elmwood Park, a family favorite, and sure to be one of Finn's first stomping grounds. Saturday was gorgeous, and we decided to pay a visit to Grandma and Grandpa Nabb's grave, and take Finn across the border into Iowa via the new Bob Kerry pedestrian bridge, which spans the Missouri River. Finn can now check Iowa off his 'life list' and concentrate on other states. Grandma Krejci's 80th birthday was Sunday, and the family met for the brunch buffet at the Upstream Brewery in Omaha to celebrate. Afterwards, Grandma K. came over to meet her first great grandson and have some cake and ice cream. A trip to the doctor this morning revealed that Finn has gained 1 pound since last Thursday, and shrank 0.5 inches in length (due to the loss of his alien conehead). He is in the lower percentiles of the baby growth curves, but gaining momentum. So far the little dude has gone easy on us, giving us at least one 4 to 5 hour sleeping session per evening...so, although we are tired, we get chances to catch up on our rest.
