Our summer baby

Just wanted to post this picture of Finley in his sunglasses and swimsuit.

Here he is playing on his ocean playmat. He is getting ready to learn to scuba dive wth Nonnie. Finally she will have a scuba buddy.

Buc...

Buc, Buc, Buc... He is one of a kind. He had a rough time when Finley first came. He is getting used to him though and loves him dearly. This is his new sleep position that he seems to really enjoy. It is most amusing when he begins to dream and kick and flail his legs...don't you just love him! (Eventhough he is a little overbearing at times...)

The Many Faces of Finster

Life with a 5 weeks old baby is interesting. Things that are normal daily events - such as taking a shower - that just don't happen. But it is a great price to pay to have such a wonderful baby boy. He is so much fun! We love taking pictures of him and playing with him. He has started to smile when we talk to him or tickle him. We are only having one issue - we think he has acid reflux - so please be praying for him. We will get him checked out at his next appointment. So hopefully the doctor can fix it. Other than that he is wonderful! He smiles and coos and sleeps wonderfully - 8 hours last night - our new record! He makes the most funny faces too... If you have not met him yet - we can't wait for you to!

The Photoshoot

OK so this is sad... I thought that after having Finley I would bl0g, blog, blog. And, I was wrong! Life is a little crazy with a baby! But it is so much fun. Of course , having to come up to the church to my parents house to blog is a little difficult at times. But here he is, beautiful boy.

We had a some photos taken on July 5th by our friend Sue here at church. She did an amazing job! Enjoy! Everyone is doing well and we are loving life.

Buc loves his new brother...Finley loves his brother & his new friends

I tell you what, Buc is very proud of his new brother Finley. His is always concerned when Finley cries or coos. His comes running and then makes sure that daddy is fixing the problem. He is so gentle and loving. For this picture I just laid Finley on Buc and they both were great! Finley actually cried and Buc wimpered when I picked him up. Love for life!

Here are Finley's new friends Jude (he is with his mommy, Afton) and Landis. He can't wait to play with them! And then, here is Nonni with her wet pants ~ Finley decided to pee on her after worship practice on Wednesday night. It was funny - we had no idea where it came from...his diaper wasn't even wet! Boys, Boys, Boys.

And of course, like the proud parents we are, here is a picture of his first time in his bed.

Funny Finley

Well life is different but it is better than I ever imagined. Finley is almost a week old. He is so amazing! God truly made all of our dreams come true. Yesterday we had our check-up at the hospital. They were amazed! Finley has already gained back his birth weight, he has beautiful skin color, his little man parts are healing wonderfully, his umbilical cord is looking good (but very gross I must say) and as my dad would say - He is an All American. If you can't tell, we adore him. Here is a funny picture of him... he makes the most hilarious faces!In this shot he is pooping!
