Finn has been working on a few new tricks lately. He had been imitating dogs barking, but now, if you ask "what does a doggy say?" he responds with a series of several barks. And if you ask him "how big is Finn?" he laughs and puts both arms up in the air. He also blows his nose if you give him a tissue, but we're not sure where he picked this one up. Today, he learned how to comb his hair and then how to comb the hair on his stuffed animals. We're pretty sure we heard his first real word tonight too. Drew walked in the house after work and, clear as day, Finn said, "Dad!". We looked at each other in disbelief, and then he said it again. Drew went upstairs to change and Finn crawled to the bottom of the stairs, looking up and calling, "Dad! Dada!" It was so adorable and obviously so purposeful!
He is into everything now, pulling dishes out of dishwasher, pulling the cords out of the back of the computer, pulling leaves off of plants, etc. Not quite close to walking yet though. He's still working on pulling himself up to stand (he's done it once or twice now, but not consistently). He eats almost all finger food and loves pizza and mac and cheese. He's been a little more resistant to veggies lately and we're hoping this is just a phase. Here are some pictures from pumpkin picking and a hike with grandma's dog, Kaya. Finn and Drew meet Grandma Heffron and Kaya for a walk at the park every Sunday afternoon. Halloween pictures are coming soon!
