Finn FUN Facts!

We hit a milestone this week and then when I was talking to one of my friends, I realized that there were a few other things I have neglected to fill everyone in on!

1) Waving and Clapping - Finn started finally waving and clapping about a month ago! He is very proud of his new tricks and it is just the cutest thing!

2) He loves balls! But now he can play ball with you! If you pull out a ball, he will wiggle his legs back and forth and wave his arms up and down and clap, he gets so excited and he just waits for you to roll/bounce it to him....he can catch it, which honestly, he catches better than I do, and then he will send it back to you and go back and forth! So much FUN!

3) He did his first sign this week! We try to do some sign language, and we aren't super great about it, but we try to do about 5-6 signs with him, the one we use the most is "more" where you touch the fingertips of both hands together. We can only give Finn about 3-4 pieces of food on his tray at a time because if you give him more he likes to shove them all in his mouth at once, then realizes he can't chew them and spits them all back out. So we can only give him a few at a time and then ask him if he wants "more". This week, when I asked "more" he started "clapping" but it isn't his usual clap, its slightly different and he only does it when his tray is empty and he wants "more"!!! It's just really, really exciting for us to see him do something other than laugh at us when we sign at him!
