Pint-Sized Post

Just a brief update post - as I was sitting down to upload more pictures and fun-filled bottle feeding pictures, our internet router crashed and so did the post. So Finn will be "offline" this week! The news is that Finn is slowly coming around (after hours of crying and sadness) to the bottle...also, he visited Dad at work again and wore his favorite hat!

What a big boy! As soon as the Interweb is working again, we'll post more pics of his bottle-tastic struggles...

The faces of Finn...

Finn's had a busy week! He decided to match Dad's blue work shirt one day... (Hey look! We match!)Then he hung out with Smiley Spidey! They laughed, they cried...
I like to smile!
What the...is that Finn...in his bassinet??? That's right...he's sleeping in a bed and not his car seat! Next stop...the crib downstairs!
Peek-a-boo! Time for a nap, Finn...
One week before day care...he's able to drink small amounts from a bottle and can sleep on his back! (don't act like you're not impressed)

Massive Baker Blog Entry!

We've not posted since Tuesday, it's been very busy in Bakertown! The Georgia Bakers swung into town and brought a bad case of Finn-fever with them! Watch out - it'll getcha!

"Hey! It's Grandpa! Hold on a sec, Grandpa - the camera's calling me...it's my burden and my blessing, to be stalked by the paparazzi..."
"That's right, I'm big."
Some Daddy time...waking up from 3 hour naps can be very stressful!
Yay! Let's go on a walk! It was like 70 degrees out today, so Finn was anxious to put the top down on his convertible/stroller...
"That's right, Grandpa. You, too, will bend to my will. Now push me about and cater to my every whim like those other two large humans!"
Time for a little tic-tack-toe at the local playground. (It was a draw...and is it me, or does it look like Adam has revenge on his mind?)
Why is Erin smiling, you ask? Is it the sunny weather? The relaxing stroll? No. It's Finn...asleep!Three generations of Baker men! It's a wonder that the porch could support such a powerful force...Sara calms the little angel dressed in white fleece...And one last image of Finn, maxin' and relaxin'. He took some time for reflection on his exciting weekend.
"I really learned a lot this weekend. I learned that drinking out of a bottle is really not that cool. I learned that Grandpa really knows how to burp me quite well! And lastly, I learned that everyone that comes to see me thinks I'm really cool, even if I spit up on them! That's saying something."It was a great weekend, and there's only two weeks to go before Finn hits daycare! They'll never know what hit them.

Wee Voter!

Finn hit the polls today. Here are the results:

77% of voters believe that Finn "doesn't sleep enough"

98% of voters believe he's "cuter than humanly possible" (+/- 2% margin of error)
45% of voters believe he has a "silly" hat.
100% of Dr. Seuss enthusiasts believe he has a "perfectly appropriate" hat policy.
4% of voters believe his farts "don't smell so bad".
(In a related poll, 4% of Americans in the US have "no sense of smell.")
Well, the results are in! Finn's the big election winner!

Growing...

Finn's a healthy 12 lbs, 8oz now...We're trying to teach him to sleep in his bassinette...he still loves his car seat though!
He's indeed a wee beastie, this little Finn of ours!
He likes to stand on Dad's lap...such a big strong boy!
Loves to hang with mom!
He's also beginning to "crawl"...meaning, he's wriggling on his tummy and moving in a forward-like motion! We'll post video soon...
Love,

Patty Cake!

Finn loves to play patty cake with Grandma! (he wanted me to mention that it's not nearly as girly as it sounds)
Smile times on his changing table before bath...
Some time for quiet reflection about today's Super Bowl...is the 14 point spread worth taking? It sounds eerily reflective of the Rams' 14 point spread over the Pats a few years back...and we all know who won that game...

Then he practiced the patty cake by himself...and did a little mugging for the camera!

Music Class and Grandma!

Finn went to music class on Wednesday and had a blast! Singing and dancing is always lots of fun! This week was a dance retrospective, so Finn was teaching the other kids how to "Cabbage Patch."
He also likes the big orange drapery...it's super chic! It looks good with his blue velor leisure suit.
He loves his changing pad...can you count the booger bulbs in this shot? (well, I guess it's not that tough...)
Finn showing some leg...
And a little smile...

With his momma...

Grandma came to town today to spend some time with Finn...we looked at some baby pictures of Andy. Finn says "damn, dad - you sure were fatter than me!"Love,
