John Findlay aka Finn, "Finney", "Mr. Finn", "The Finster", "Finney, Finn Finn", "The Baby"

Finn, what can I say? 6 months has gone so fast! You are THE HAPPIEST baby/person, I have ever met. When you wake in the morning, you wake up smiling and talking, never crying. If someone passes by you in the house, you smile, if we pick you up, you smile, if we change you, you smile and on and on....I guess we are all doing something right. Raising you/taking care of you is definitely a group effort. Everyone in the family/house is involved and they LOVE it! Your sisters are constantly picking you up and hugging you and asking what you need next, the boys are always on the floor with you, talking to you, kissing you. Love is all around you, you are so adored!
You haven't had your official six month check up yet. I had to postpone it because of all the activities we had planned with your siblings and visiting Grandma this summer. But at your last visit, a week before you turned six months, you were 17lbs and 26.5 inches long. You are so long! Here are you other stats:
-you eat jar baby foods, twice a day (apples, pears, carrots, squash, peas, bananas)
-you eat Gentlease Formula, 5 times a day. Anywhere from 6 to 8 ounces
-you wear size 3 diapers
-you wear 6-9 month clothes
-you sleep 12 hours at night, give or take an hour, some nights
-you aren't a good "napper" yet. Usually they last 20minutes to an hour
-you can almost sit up
-you love the Jumperoo
-you love to pull my hair!
-you love your binkie when you are sleepy, but only the ortho shaped ones
-you have excellent grasp and fine motor skills, already! Bring on the cheerios!

Also in the last 6 months you have had almost every illness :( You had RSV as a newborn, Hand Foot Mouth, pink eye, and ear infections. My poor guy. I will say too, for as happy as you usually are, oh boy, when you are sick, watch out!

Finn, you are loved so much, and you are such a light in all our hearts! We love you little man and are excited to keep watching you grow.
