Finnian's Journey: The Boy In the Mirror

"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."

The Boy In the Mirror

I love when I catch Finn doing something so cool and unexpected like this:

Notice how he lets go and stands without holding onto anything for long stretches? I kind of think that he doesn't even yet realize he's doing it. I really think he could probably walk unassisted if he wanted to . . . he just doesn't know it yet.
