Maggie Play Date

Finn's future wife Maggie came over to go to the pool and have a playdate cookout. It is so much FUN to watch them play together now that they're both mobile and have so much personality! They had FUN splashing in the pool and Finn helped push Maggie around in his wagon, such a gentleman. He was however not happy when mommy picked up Maggie on her lap to read a book! Uh oh, we may be in trouble come January!

Nautical Finn

We rented a pontoon boat on Lake Lanier with friends for Labor Day weekend. We started out early and had perfect weather (after a stormy week thanks to Gustav)! It was a gorgeous day and so much FUN! Finn loves water so he loved swimming in the lake and being on the water. He was sooooo excited when we pulled up to the lake and was a little impatient while we got everyone ready to go, but had a blast once we got moving!

Baby Beluuuuga

We took Finn on his first trip to the Aquarium this past weekend! Uncle Reg was going to be diving in the Aquarium with the Whale Sharks so we joined along to watch the FUN! With as much as he loves water we thought for sure he would love it....he seemed to be more interested in the people and his stroller. But we got to see some Baby Beluga's and of course have people stare at us as we stood in front of the beluga tank singing our favorite Raffi song!

Finn is Bananas!

More Lakes Family FUN

Well some news that we are majorly delinquent in posting about.....

Fire Truck

Just some cute pics from the park this weekend of Finn driving the fire truck!

Boys day out

Well, daddy took Finn on his first super big hike this past weekend with uncle Buzz! They drove about an hour and a half north of Atlanta to Panther Creek to go hiking. Todd and I had stumbled upon Panther Creek probably 3 years ago and had yet to go back. Its a gorgeous trail that follows a creek leading up to a giant waterfall and swimming hole. Its an almost entirely shaded trail as well and with the water the temps stay nice and cool. You can also camp along the trail! The boys went up for the day and by the looks of it, had a good time!

Poop in the coupe

Well, I've told y'all before that Finn is obsessed with his Cozy Coupe. This morning he's in the car and he's leaning out the window, for quite a while actually, and I'm thinking how cute, he's being a cool guy. I walk out of the room and when I come back, I smell poop. Upon further inspection though, I realize....he has pooped out the side of his diaper and there is now a large pile of poop...in the coupe. So gross. Lesson learned....keep some pants of any kind in order to catch the poop.

Stridin' Rite

So, now that Finn is cruising around, it was time to put some shoes on him! Which, by the way he is sooooooo not a fan of! He has been barefoot for so long, and I think definitely enjoying it so putting shoes on him now, is, well, interesting. The good news is that he will actually sit down long enough for you to put them on him, but then when you go to stand him up he is confused about now putting his feet down on the ground with these new accessories. So he'll sit indian style in the air until you plop him on his butt, and then he'll proceed to try to pull them off of his feet, grunting included. And walking.....well that is a whole other story as well. We're just going to keep trying with them and hope that eventually he'll get used to them! Here's the best picture I've got of them so far. We got him the basic little white stride rite first shoe, they are adorable, and this weekend at the park he finally scuffed them up a bit so they're not so blindingly white!
