Peter 3 months old

Our sweet Peter, happy 3 months!

The way you smile and your eyes twinkle is just contagious and you like to especially smile at your mommy which just melts my heart.  You are growing so so tall and are fitting now into some 6 month clothes due to your length with plenty or room to spare in width.  Your eyes are slowly turning a beautiful brown and your hair is still vary scarce but light brown in color.  Your eye lashes are absolutely amazing, you get that after your daddy.  You are doing so well on tummy time and almost can roll to your side from  your back.  At night, you still like to wake up every two hours or less and lately need to be pressed right against me to fall asleep, I keep attributing this to your recent cold and snuggle you extra, although I think we may have started something:)  

We love you so much sweetie.

 You are so loved by Finnegan and Elise too

Finnegan's Birthday Train Party

Trains, planes and automobiles... this boy loves.  So, we celebrated at the Wenatchee Riverfront Railways with a train party.  We had a morning party at 10 am and it was fantastic.  Finn was all smiles as was every other little kiddo.  

Donuts from Glaze were also a big highlight with these two:)

Finnegan's 2 year stats

Someone hates the doctor and cries and cries in protest.  As soon as it's finished the crying stops instantly and he is happy again. 

2 year stats:

Weight: 28 lbs 12 oz (60th %)

Height: 33.5" (33rd %)

Head circumference: 19.25" (56th %)

Peter's 2 month stats

Our sweet Peter is almost always happy, but even he sometimes cries, especially at the doctors office.  We are frequent fliers there lately, as with three kids and their baby well checks one of their appointments is always on the calendar.  

Weight 12lbs 12 oz (47th %)

Height 25" (98th %)

Head circumference 15.75" (63rd %)

One tall skinny boy.

McKee fall visit

While Evan was off celebrating our dear friend Tyler and Lisa's wedding in Jackson Hole, I was home solo for the first time with three kids.  I had such great company and help from Connie, my dad as well as auntie Lucie.  Everyone was wonderful and I think I would have gone crazy without them.  

Poor little Owen was a little overwhelmed by Eli and Finn's singing of the ABCs.  

Finnegan 2 years

Our middle baby, Finnegan Michael, happy 2 years buddy!!!

You are just about the cutest and funniest 2 year old around.  From you toothy grin to your twinkly eyes and wild hair you are incredibly photogenic and love to show off in front of the camera and in life.  You are SOOO full of energy and absolutely love to run run run, play chase, hide and jump like crazy on our couch.  You navigate your radio flyer 4 wheeled scoot like a pro.  You are incredibly coordinated, agile and mobile and no doubt a little athlete in training.  When you fall, you yell out kiss it mommy, and as soon as I do you forget about it and move on.  You are a champ of an eater, so much so that you stuff yourself uncontrollably until you throw up if we're not careful to portion control your meals.  You haven't had a haircut in a few months and you absolutely despise it, so it looks like you will have long hair for a while.  You still sleep in your crib and show no desire to climb out, though soon enough we will need to scoot you to your big boy bed and make room for Peter.   You love to play princesses with Elise and dress up in her skirts and run around the house but nothing compares with toy tools, cars and trains.  Garbage trucks, large trucks and anything with a siren is your favorite, garbage day truly can't come soon enough every week.  Finny you are just a sweetie, you are so lovable, kissable and incredibly funny.  You are so so loved by your big sis; you two have become the best of friends since you have both been home the past few months.  Your language skills are absolutely precious right now and I somehow selfishly wish you could talk like this forever.  You are speaking in multi word sentences, at least 4-5 words at a time.   You can even count to 10, and missing a few numbers to 20.  You also know the entire alphabet song, though need just a few reminders.  You LOVE to sing and dance and whenever we are out and about and you hear music over the speakers you yell out "dance time".

Some of your sayings:

"mimi mouse" Mikey mouse

"tefefone"
"MINE" (everything is yours lately)
titu (thank you)
peese (please)
milt (milk)
noooo night night

Oh and so much more, I really need to write it down more.

Cannot believe you are 2!!!! You are so so loved sweet Finnegan.
Happy Birthday

You have never desired to sleep with any toys/blankets, but the minute you got your chainsaw yesterday for an early birthday present you have been inseparable and even fell asleep with it in your crib last night:)  You adore tools and being in the garage with daddy or deda.

Pre School

We are one month in and Elise is really enjoying going to school twice a week.  From her teacher, friends and fun projects she gets to work on she is a happy camper.
