sleep...glorious sleep!

Finley slept for 11 hours last night and didn't get up once. He woke up happy...and hungry! I wish I knew what we did differently so that I could do it again tonight...but I have no clue what it could be. It was so nice to sleep all night long. I don't think I woke up once! I did jolt awake though when I realized I hadn't woken up once. Of course, I ran into his room to make sure he was breathing. If you're laughing at me right now, I have 4 friends with babies and they all do the same thing!

A first today is that he went from a crawling position to sitting and then back to crawling. Unfortunately the 'back to crawling' part ended up with him falling a little too far forward and hitting his head on the floor. He's a tough little guy though and doesn't cry for too long. Within a few minutes he was smiling and ready to play again.

Here is Finley standing up holding onto the bed in his room. He is playing with his giraffe. He throws it and tries to get to it. Sometimes he will take a step, but nothing like all the steps he took last Friday.


Finley playing on the floor. He had just gotten up from a nap. He's always in a good mood when he wakes up....unlike someone we all know and love, ahem-Matthew.

Oh my! He recognized the word "foot." That is amazing! Sorry, I can't turn the teacher part of me off!
Finny, you are doing such a great job! And, you look so sweet, too! Love you!

Yeah, that was cute when you said "foot," and he looked down at his foot and started moving it. Like I have said many times, he's amazingly smart!!!! Just like his Grandma! Okay, everybody laugh now.
