Big Shoes to Fill

Today is another rainy day in Bluffton. And with that comes another viewing of Finding Nemo. I finally caved after we'd climbed through Jack's tunnel over and over again, built towers with his blocks, read books, eaten lunch, eaten 2 more bananas, and watched every changing of Finley's diaper. Finding Nemo is Jack's current favorite movie. This puts it at #4 in the order of his favorites. First it was anything Elmo, then Cars, then Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and now Nemo. It's almost exciting when we sense a new favorite coming on. We know it's not the end of going around singing silly songs all day. It's just the beginning of a new play list. Here are some pictures from this week:

Here's Jack wearing his Daddy's shoes. We all know that Jack has about the biggest feet around for a child his age (recently purchased size 9's are barely fitting!), but he's still got some room to spare in these. Jack will walk around the house wearing these saying "Daddy work!" He loves his Dad.

Finley enjoys playing with this toy. It's been posted before. There's a little crossbar that has toys hanging from it. He's getting pretty good at reaching for and hitting them. Finn is settling nicely into a little routine these days. He rises at 7am, give or take 30 min. He eats then and follows an eat-wake-sleep cycle every 3 hours. Sometimes the wake is shorter than the sleep and vice versa, but he's a great baby. His "witching hour/s" are after his 7pm feeding, which is okay with me. He's generally awake the entire time until his 10pm feeding, which is his last feeding before bedtime.

The bib he's wearing there says "A Special Delivery by Dr. Blusewicz." It was a gift from my OB's office. They got most of my deductible. We got a bib?...And a baby. It evens out.:)

Jack is now calling the crib, "Finn's bed." I think for a while he remembered it as his and even though he didn't want to sleep in it any longer, he didn't want to verbalize the change that had occured. But he's found that if he looks cute and asks nicely, he'll get to join his brother in the crib for some hang out time. John was running all over the place in the nursery trying to get him to smile. It worked.

Another picture of Finley's smile. He smiles all the time now. For some reason, though, this picture doesn't even look like him to me. But it was a pretty shot of his happy face.

Hope it's raining where you are....especially if you're in California. Pray for the fire victims and firefighters!!!

Enjoy this video of Jack talking about his 'boo boo', which is basically a scab he scratched off of a mosquito bite. Not enough to warrant a 911 call, but plenty enough for a Light'ning McQueen bandaid. He has mastered the art of 'milking it' without anyone having to teach him. No matter how happy he is (in the video he was watching Finding Nemo, which is the state of ultimate happiness) when you ask him about his boo boo, this is his response. Funny child!
