Today, we went to town and had lunch with my Bible study group. Finny has a lot of little friends there to play with...if he can keep up. Half the time he is alone because he just sits and watches the older kids playing. He will find toys on his own though and as long as the toys he has aren't too exciting, he's pretty much guaranteed to keep it for awhile. If it makes any kind of noise though he won't have it for long. He can't defend himself yet...much less the toys he's playing with. We had a few highlights of the afternoon. The first was that Finny ate 2 french fries and a tiny piece of a grilled cheese sandwich. I say "ate" but the correct word to use would be "devoured". The second was when Mattea (11 months) tried to feed Finny cheese--which he didn't want and then at the same time Amy (1-1/2 years) tripped while walking toward him and threw water on him. He's so laid back though that he really didn't mind. The last highlight was when I was watching Amy and Finny and for about 30 seconds she kissed Finny. He tried to pull his head back, but wherever Finny's head went, Amy's head went. It was a pretty passionate-looking kiss. I knew we'd have to warn Finny about that kind of girl sometime, but I didn't think it would be this soon. =)
This video was taken when we got home. This is his playpen that I have set up in the living room. He plays in it okay on his own, but it has really helped when I just need to run downstairs for a few minutes to do laundry or something. This is him playing games in it. He likes to play peek-a-boo in it and loves to be tickled through the netting.
These next 2 videos are of Finley saying Dada again. He has started bouncing a little bit when he's talking. I couldn't get him to stop sucking on the step stool though.
Finny can make the funniest faces when he's trying to make noises. He ends up spitting all over the place, but I think it's cute.
