365 days OLD!

At 7:04am this morning Finn officially turned ONE! We started out the day with some birthday singing and chocolate cake, the look on his face is priceless (so glad I had the timer on the camera!). Now we are eating big boy stuff like scrambled eggs and juice. As far as the rest of the day, we'll just see.

We had a wonderful celebration this weekend (click here for more pictures). So many friends and family joined us to celebrate our little boys special day! Thank you for coming and sharing your day with us.

I'm so lucky to be a Mom today!

Finn's first ski

We ventured over to Elmwood park to try out Finn's new ski buggy, although Jason refers to it as the ghetto sled. It was a conversion kit Jason ordered off of skibugg.com. It converts a bike trailer into a ski trailer. It was $38 for the kit; pair that with a $20 bike trailer we found on craigslist and you have "ghetto sled". The whole family had fun!

A little downhill action at the park.

Zoo Fun and more

Last Monday the whole family ventured to the Henry Doorly Zoo. We had so much fun on a wintery day, especially because there were VERY few at the zoo. All of the animals where on display just for us. We just went to the indoor exhibits and of course Finn's favorite the aquarium.

Some videos...

Here is a video from last night when Finn had the sillys while driving his car around at Grandma's house.

This is a video of the big boy eating with a spoon, he's so advanced...

11 months and walkin' (almost)

As I sit here writing, it is 1 degree outside (but feels like -22 degrees, thanks weather.com). Yes, quite lovely out and hard to believe that last week we were in Florida soaking up 70 degree weather. It was a wonderful first Christmas for Finn. Christmas day we were snowed in here in Omaha, but not to worry we had Grandma with us so the spoiling could still happen. The day after Christmas we headed to Florida, but before we left Amy, Steve and the boys stopped so we could do a quick Christmas. Finn decided to give them the best gift ever, he took his first steps to Amy. This video shows the second walking attempt. He still takes steps here and there, but no fulltime walkin' just yet.



Then we were off to have Christmas in Florida (click here for more pictures) with the Alexanders. We had a great time. Finn learned to eat sand and crawl into the ocean. It was a bit chilly, but we still managed to get a little sun, Jason surfed, we played fun beach games, and had a great time with our family. We hope you all had happy holidays and look forward to another wonderful year, Happy New Year!
