More of Finn

Last Saturday, Brent and Max went to the race track in Sonoma. Max is very interested in race cars at the moment and had a blast!

I love being at home with Finn. I think I am able to enjoy my maternity leave more this time around. I am not nervous that something will go wrong and do not feel the need to check on Finn throughout the night as I did when Max was a newborn. I guess you just feel more capable the second time around. It is nice. I have not done much of anything this week, which is wonderful. I am just enjoying being a parent and having some time with my baby. I feel so fortunate to have yet another beautiful boy to love and cherish.

Finn's 1-week check up

On Tuesday, we took Finn to see Dr. Nancy for his 1 week checkup. All is well. Best of all, he has gained back the weight he lost since birth. He weighed 6 lbs, 14 oz when born and is now at 6 lbs, 15 oz. We are off to a good start!

The backsplash

Brent installed the back splash tile in one of the areas in the kitchen. In the picture below, the grout has not yet been added and the electrical outlet cover plate is still off but you get the idea...love it!

Max and GiGi created a stepping stone for our back yard. It has Max's foot prints and a bunch of treasures that they found on the beach.

As soon as Max comes home from school, he wants to hold Finn. He sits on the couch with a pillow under his arm for support and holds his brother, pats him on the head and talks to him. It is precious. Thankfully, he lets us know when he wants to get down and play again by saying; "I am done holding Finn now".
