Happy Birthday Finn!

On Saturday we had a little party for Finn's third birthday.

We had to open presents first because Finn could NOT wait. Lots of tractors and dump trucks.


We went to my parents pool with some of Ben's family and Teri and Chace. We took a million pictures with our waterproof camera, just cause it's fun.






Then we headed back to the house to have a tractor birthday cake. Finn was too distracted by the tractors to really even eat any cake.


Happy Birthday cute boy!

Finn is Three!

I can't believe I have a 3 year old. Crazy.

Finn is such a perfect little boy. Here are a few things about our 3 year old:

• Polite. Always says "bless you", "excuse me", "thank you" and "your welcome"
• Clean. Well kind of. Never gets into things he isn't supposed to
  
• Gives lots of good hugs and kisses
• On the verge of being potty trained. This is a tough one. He hasn't been interested at all, but this past weekend he did awesome
• Speaks well. I swear he speaks better than most 5 year old's I know.
• Ready to be a big brother. He loves babies and he is such a good helper, so lets hope he is ready!
• Obsessed with tractors, digging, dump trucks, sand and dirt
• Loves the water. A little too much, he even jumped in without his floaties this weekend and it didn't even faze him
• Hates waking up during the week and has to be cuddled for a few minutes. Don't we all?
• He sounds perfect, but he is naughty too. Dinner is rough sometimes, he'll only want to eat cereal or "treats". So we have a few breakdowns.
• Amazing brain. Remembers tiny details about people. Loves puzzles and can do them so fast. Faster than me.

We love you Finn!

Yesterday we finally had Finn's 12 month check up. He is perfectly healthy and can now eat exciting things like Peanut Butter, Honey and drink milk(he has already tried milk, and loves it, big surprise).



His current stats:

27 pounds 1 ounce 95th percentile
31 inches 90th percentile
Head circumference 19 inches 95 percentile

Finn's Birthday Party

Let's be honest, Ben and I can't finish anything without a deadline. So we scheduled a BBQ / Birthday Party to show off our backyard. We got it done just in time. Friday night after Finn's Birthday we had friends make the trek to Daybreak to eat and watch Finn eat cake.

Finn's Cousin's Ben and Roxy came up from Springville to celebrate.

Finn's favorite cuddler Becca stopped by to hold a very sleepy Finn. And eventually have him pass out in her arms. Lucky Becca.

Presents

I have gotten really horrible lately with keeping presents until the appropriate day. Ben got his Father's Day present 3 days early. Keeping up with my new tradition, Finn got his presents early, basically right when I got home from Toy's R Us the other night. I figured this year, he doesn't know the difference, next year will be a little different.

They were a success!

Cupcakes for School

Finn will probably be the most popular kid at school today because of these beauties.

Happy Birthday Finn!

Finn is one today! Crazy how fast time goes by. It seems like I was just up all night with a newborn a few weeks ago.
