What's new?

On March 4th, Finn's first two teeth finally came in! As commonly the case, it is the two in the front, on the bottom.

On March 10th, Max got his new bike! It is a 16" Hot Rock from Specialized (bikes). Uncle Todd works there. The bike is totally cool and in Max's favorite color - blue. Max was so comfortable on his little 12" bike that he has been riding without training wheels since September and we didn't know how Max would react to the larger bike. It only took a few minutes before he got on the new bike and rode it as if he had never done anything else. The following day, he went for a mountain bike ride with Dad, Uncle Todd, Gigi & PopPop who were here for a few days and Finn. The next day, we all got a tour of Specialized in Morgan Hill to see where Todd spends his days. They have a pump track set up in the back of the warehouse that Max tried out. He loved it. Is he going to be a downhill bike craze like his Uncles Todd and Scott??!

Finn is (do I dare to say it out loud...) sleeping much better at night. It has not been that long, probably six weeks or so, since the nighttime feedings stopped. He still wakes up, especially with the teething situation, but usually the pacifier and/or the favorite blanket helps him go back to sleep.

Max is now in a booster seat vs. a car seat while riding in the car. He can open and close the car door on his own and buckle himself in which is great.

We introduced baby cereal and other solids to Finn right after his 6-month birthday. He had shown such excitement about food for several weeks prior so we knew he was ready. He has yet to have his 6-month checkup with Dr. Nancy...but we are scheduled for next week. He will be 7 1/2 months by then..

Our boys are growing so fast and thriving! They are a lot of fun and we are very, very proud of them.
