Finnian's Journey: Fun with Finnian

"Y'all - don't miss it. Don't get so caught up in what your sweet baby is doing or not doing. Don't obsess about this step or the next step or the one after that or what is going to happen twenty years down the line. Because one day you'll look at baby pictures and think about how adorable that baby was and how all you can remember is therapy and you can't even remember what her hair smelled like.

So, ENJOY your baby. It doesn't matter when they walk or crawl or talk. It matters that they are here and that you love them and that they know it.

Just don't miss it."

Fun with Finnian

Uhhh . . . I know it looks like I have entirely too much time on my hands, but really I'm a very busy mom. Today, however, Finn said to me, "Ma, you think we could find some time today to play around with my look? I need a change." Here's what we came up with:

Respectable little boy

Ppffffftt.

Something a little more edgy . . .

Eddie Munster?

Alfalfa

The messy look

Yes, I am exploiting my kid for the sake of hilarity.

Monica Crumley said...: Oh, the Alfalfa look made me laugh because my 11 year old son used to do that and hike his pants up really high! Finn's quite a handsome guy! By the way, I'm tagging you with the Kreativ Blogger Award. www.monicacrumley.blogspot.com; March 15, 2009 at 10:21 PM

lizzy said...: I have been following your blog for some time but never posted. I think Finn is absolutely the most gorgeous baby I've ever seen. Seriously, I have 4 of my own and while they have all been cute babies, Finn is one of the most stunning baby's I have ever seen.

I think if we met in real life we would probably be friends. We have many of the same philosophies and our kids are our life.

Keep blogging. I so look forward to reading your posts.; March 17, 2009 at 10:19 PM
