Finn's New Tricks

I haven't uploaded all of our new pictures yet, but I wanted to write about a few new things Finn has been doing lately so I don't forget. He's been doing a "mad face" along with a huffing/puffing/snorting noise and I'm not quite sure what he's so mad about. He usually does it while he's eating and sometimes he'll imitate me if I do it. Here's what it looks like:

This makes me laugh every time. He has also been really interested in coughing since Drew and I have had colds for the last couple of weeks. He thinks it's really funny to imitate the coughing noise. Finn is sitting up totally unassisted now and is starting to lunge forward to reach his toys, usually ending up on his tummy (sometimes on his head). He's rolling around a lot too and has started rolling over to sleep on his tummy on most nights. Despite the many hours spent tutoring him on "mamamama", his favorite sound continues to be "dadadadada". We'll keep working on it. He is somewhat interested in drinking water from a sippy cup, but mainly just plays with it. He LOVES when Drew gives him drinks of water from a real cup though (thinks he's pretty cool). Finn is also starting to communicate better about what he wants, mainly via blood curdling screaming and crying. This has proven to be an effective strategy at times, as we tend to get a little scared of him (see above picture). Most of the time, though, he is a really happy little guy. He laughs and smiles a lot and loves when we're all at home together. Whenever Drew, Finn, and I are in the same room, he gets the happiest look on his face and just looks back and forth between me and Drew like he can't believe how great life is. So cute. He's loving all kinds of foods too, especially peas, sweet potatoes, bananas, and apples. More pictures to come!
