Mothers Day brunch with the Heffrons

Bath time on the deck!

Sharing Sucks

Well, here we are...about to welcome Finn's little brother or sister into our family just as Finn starts the tantrum/grabbing/"no!"/"mine!" phase. Today, as we passed an older gentleman with a walker at the grocery store, Finn yelled angrily at him, "NO! MINE!" Was he telling the man that the cart of groceries was his? Did it look to Finn like the man was making a move for Finn's box of Cheerios? Not sure. This should make for an interesting summer as Baby Heffron #2 enters the scene. While I was uploading our recent pictures onto the computer just now, I realized that we had documented some great examples of Finn's new "toddler behavior". See below.

Not quite sure what happened here, I think Drew had stepped in after Finn grabbed a toy out of Gavin's hands, leading to a mini meltdown.

This is Drew's favorite. He thinks it's poetic how Finn is in the foreground with a tear streaming down his cheek while Gavin is slightly out of focus, looking on innocently. This is right after Finn had grabbed another toy away from Gavin.

In this one, Finn is vehemently guarding his toy area (note that one hand is on his lawnmower just in case Gavin makes any sudden moves), while Gavin is happy just looking at the camera.

As Annie and Erin pose for the picture, Finn takes the opportunity to reach into Annie's bowl of chips, helping himself to one. Looking very happy that no one is watching him.

Here, Annie notices that her snack has been taken. Note the look of horror on Erin's face and how quickly Finn is stuffing the chip into his mouth before anyone can take it away.

In this shot, Annie has angrily thrown the bowl of chips onto the couch, as Finn looks on without compassion.

Now, Annie's snack has been ruined forever but Finn is still thoroughly enjoying that chip.
