Happy Birthday Finno!!We celebrated Finn's actual birthday by having both family's over for cake and ice cream. We are so grateful we live close to our family on these special occasions. We had quite the crowd and felt so much love for our dear Finno!

Sawyer with his side of Finn's cake!
Finn has been such a joy in our family! Always so sweet and full of loves! He puts up with quite a bit having Sawyer as an older brother, but Finn LOVES Soy and is always laughing and smiling at him, well most of the time! He was such an easy baby...hardly ever cries and sleeps like a champ (naps too!) from the first night I brought him home from the hospital! He has been much more "normal" in his development and we at times are finding this to be a relief and a challenge all at the same time. Sawyer by 1, was running and climbing and Finn, even though he started walking at 10 months, is much more calm and tends to stay put! Sawyer also spoke A LOT of words by 1 and could sign over 20 more and Mr. Finn has a vocab of about 3 words...Mama, Dada and baba. Needless to say, a talking one year old is A LOT easier to figure out! We are trying to figure out the grunts and the screams and the woo's...I think we'll eventually get them! ;)
Thanks to everyone who came and shared his special day with us!
We love you Finno!!
And lastly....
Sawyer wanted me to post this of him and his pumpkins. I mean why should Finn get all the attention anyways. It's only his birthday! :)
