Finn is an extremely busy, active little boy. I took a ton of pictures of him today and thought I would give everyone a glimpse into the adventures of Finley
First, make sure you are well rested. Use whatever downtime you have to catch up on sleep
Then it’s time to head to the garden.
There are still lots of tomatoes to be picked and I like to help Mommy.
Then it’s off to help Daddy with his projects. He’s building a garden station for Mommy and needs my help.
I don’t fully understand how Daddy gets the boards to stay together, but I’m working on it
It’s important to stay hydrated when you are working outside. Sometimes that means stealing Mommy’s drink.
Next up, make sure Daddy’s truck is in good working order. It’s important to do routine safety maintenance.
Finally, it’s time to wind down with some dump truck work.
As you can see, Finley is a very busy little guy. We still aren’t sure just how we managed to get such an outdoorsy, adventurous kid, but it’s a lot of fun chasing after him!
As we’ve established, I’m a terrible blogger. Here is the ridiculously infrequent update:
Sarah: I am once again working (finally!). I am back at work in the ER, working at Union Hospital in Terre Haute. ER is my comfort zone. I’m good at it, I like what I do and it pays well. Don’t expect to see me stray away from ER again for awhile. If I do, someone made me an amazing offer. The drive to Terre Haute is long, but not as bad as I was afraid of. Beside work, I’m having a blast watching Finley grow. He’s getting so smart and he’s more adventursome than I’m entirely comfortable with. I also put in a huge garden this year with some help from Corey and my parents. We’ve already made plans to expand for next year.
Finley: Finn is meeting and exceeding his milestones. At his 15 month check up he was 27.5 lbs and 30.25 inches, making him 90th-95th percentile for weight and 25th percentile for height. His pediatrician is impressed with how well he is doing. He walks like a champ, he’s usually very steady on his feet and does an awesome job of catching himself before he tumbles. Usually. When he does trip and fall, he does it with a flourish. He is on his second swollen and purple nose and he has had his share of goose eggs on his forehead. As I mentioned earlier, he is curious and has an amazing sense of adventure. Neither Corey nor I can figure out where he gets that trait from. Both the Dreher’s and the Wilson’s are pretty happy to find a comfortable spot and ride things out. He is also ALL boy. He loves tractors, trucks, dirt and being outside. He knows where the lawnmower is kept and checks on it every time he goes outside. He loves to ride the tractors or golf cart with Grampa. He is extremely affectionate and loves to make people laugh. He goes to the babysitter 3 days a week and has several friends there that he loves to spend time with. He has discovered the temper tantrum and is not afraid to use it but he generally gets over it pretty quickly. All in all, he continues to be an awesome kid.
Corey has been doing a ton of work around the house and outside, fixing up the outbuildings and getting things in order. He’s gotten more hours at work and with me working again he’s gotten to spend a lot more one on one time with the little man, which I think both of them enjoy. I’ll try to convince him to post a more detailed update on his projects
Pictures: I have tons, I just haven’t gotten them uploaded at this time. Trust me, the monkey is ridiculously adorable and we have some great pictures of him. I’ll try to get them put up in the next few days.
I do plan on trying to get more regular with my posts. We’ll see how things go with job, baby, house…
