Oops, it's been almost a month since my last post! I guess we've been busy! Finn's getting big and is learning some new tricks. He's SO close to rolling over (just can't quite get the hang of it yet) and is babbling and talking all day long. His favorite noise to make is "dadadadadada". I get the distinct feeling that daddy has been practicing this with him when I'm not home. His other favorite is "ayayayayay", which makes him sound a bit like The Fonz. He's a happy little guy and is sleeping much better at night now (thank goodness!). Finn has a few new adventures to report on:

Drew is already priming Finn for his career as a professional whitewater kayaker. I'm not so sure about this...the only thing that could make me more nervous about Drew tumbling down a roaring rapid in this boat is picturing Finn with him. We'll see...

Finn went on his first camping trip on Memorial Day weekend. We introduced him to Slippery Rock and Portersville (where we got married). He loved watching us set up the campground and looking around at the trees and tents.

Finn fell asleep in the tent by himself for a couple hours before we joined him and actually slept pretty well through the night too! He loved looking around the tent and playing with/eating the blankets and sleeping bags. It looks a bit like I'm smothering him in this picture, but we really were quite comfy!

These two pics capture the moment a little better!


Here we are at Cheeseman Farm - Finn's first visit!

The barn where we got married - there have been a lot of renovations, so it was fun to see it this year.

A fun trip!

And, as so many exciting adventures do, this one ended with a well-deserved nap!
Here are some other recent pictures:
