Labor Day Camping Trip

Finn is 9 months old!  He's got a few new tricks too.  He's been doing a lot of waving, although it usually doesn't mean "hello" or "goodbye".  He just tries to see how many people he can get to wave back at him.  He was thrilled when Grandma Heffron came for dinner last night so there were three people waving back instead of just two!  He has also started imitating dogs barking.  He gets a really serious look on his face and looks around when he hears our neighbor's dog and then he lets out his own little "woof woof!"  He also tries to imitate us when we whistle by making his mouth into a little "o" and doing some high-pitched screeching.  Finn's favorite toys right are his whisk and a golf ball.  He could play with them for hours, banging the whisk on his head (and looking like a total doofus while he's doing it) and batting his golf ball around the floor. He's been trying all kinds of new foods and two new favorites are pizza and rice and beans.  Still no crawling, but he does manage to scoot around so he can grab everything he's not supposed to touch.  Lately, he's really been enjoying scooting and pushing the dining room chairs around in front of him!  Here are some recent pictures:

One day, some vigorous backwards scooting landed him right under our bed!
