What Finley has been up to Lately

Kind of a lot has happened since New Years for Finley. Besides starting to eat his rice cereal he also graduated up to his highchair. Nate set it up for him before leaving and Finley does well in it. We had received one of the “space saver “highchairs that you strap to a regular chair and thus far I am very pleased with it. Finley is also doing well on his cereal- he gets it once a day right now. Sometimes twice is he seems like he's hungry for it. It is very cute that he will make chewing motion with his mouth now for no apparent reason. Finley is also sitting up better when placed in the position. He can brace himself up fairly well and when he rolls around on the ground he is getting closer to getting himself up into sitting. Also he is starting to pre-crawl. He wants to crawl very much and it you give him the right support/leverage on his feet he can make some progress. Right now he does not quite have the coordination down on his own but one thing is for sure – he is a SUPER STRONG little guy. He pushes himself into standing position every chance he gets. It’s his preferred way to be on your lap and play. Right now Finley’s main mode of getting to what he wants is rolling…. he’ll roll clear across the room to get to something. He can even change his direction by tweaking his roll ever-so-slightly. So smart and determined. It’s amazing how much babies change – in the blink of an eye really. I know Finley will be mobile in no time.

  1. Hey! Its Jake, thanks for the coffee and cinnamon rolls for the drive. It was nice to see Nate and you before I departed for school. I definitely had to adjust to the weather when I got back because it is ridiculously cold up here and won't warm up for another week. Sounds like the little man is making some progress since the last time I saw him. Well I hope all is well and TTYL
