End of Summer

I can't believe that summer is over already! It flew by. Here's the latest news and pics. Today, when I got home from work, Mitch was just waking up from his nap so I went up to get him. When I opened his door I found him on his tummy in his crib! I couldn't believe it! He can roll! He's adjusting well to eating from a bottle while I'm at work (this wasn't going so smoothly at first). We are starting to really see his personality. He's laughing and smiling at us all the time and entertains himself by playing with his hands or by grabbing at his toys. He suffered his first bad bump on the head at the hands of his brother the other night (Finn threw his sippy cup at him). I felt terrible about it because I was sitting right there, but didn't move quick enough to stop it. So he has a little bump and scratch on his head. Poor guy.

Finn is definitely going through a phase of testing his boundaries. Lots of timeouts for that kid lately. I think he's just at that age and is also adjusting to the new schedule of mom being back at work. He is constantly testing me with how much he can get away with when it comes to the baby (being rough with him, getting too close to him, throwing things at him). He had a rough couple of days this week, but was much better today. Hopefully as we settle into the school year, things will get better. He's still talking up a storm. Here are some of his latest words/phrases: "ikeems" for ice cream; yelling "Go Fairview!" at soccer games at the high school or whenever we walk by the field (whether there's a game going on or not:); "Look mama! Yogurt in the eyes!" as he was spooning yogurt directly into his eyeballs; is always asking "You okay mama? You okay daddy? You okay baby?" Then, after asking all of us if we are okay, he says "You okay Finny?"

Here are some pics of the boys:
