For Mormor

Hy Mormor,
this adorable pout is just for you =(


I love you too.

Come and get some

Today we got a new camcorder. It is super cool. I just know it is because of me =)
Mommy and Daddy are still figuring out how it works. So, until then, please enjoy this rather flattering head shot. It's a bit outdated, and I've worked on my pecs (and pecks) since this was taken. I do think it still drives the ladies wild...

Bad nose

Boy, I sure want to eat. Nothing would make me happier (this week). Everyone else is eating, why can't I?

Last week, I found my spoon sitting in front of me and tried to get it into my mouth. This was not so easy since my nose kept jumping in the way. Pesky nose, but I thought I outsmarted it. I finally got the spoon - but no food!! I know it was my nose that hid the food, but how, and what can I do for revenge?

My Movie Contract

Last night I began my illustrious movie career (that's not presumptuous, just ambitious, btw).

Daddy and Tante Mikki are laughing with me, while tante Shan holds my best side to the camera. My laugh sounds so funny it set off even more peals of laughter. We laughed until our (chubby) cheeks hurt.

Later on I decided I needed to show my soulful side to the watching world also. Some good advice about a balanced portfolio and not being typecast as the goofy, comic sidekick that I learned by watching Inside the Actor's Studio. "The transformation is complete" as Will Ferrell said.

I have to think while they are filming this for me... do they ever stop talking... seriously. Can't we have a moment of gravitas for my performance?

Movie contract... here I come.

Firsts

Today I had 2 new firsts...

First first, I got to ride in my stroller without the carseat. No one told me you could even do that! I will never ride in my stroller in the carseat again. I actually got to see stuff for once. Now that's what I'm talking about. BTW, can I eat this?

And even better, I got my first cereal tonite. It's like baby-crack and now I'm keeping Mommy and Daddy awake late - heehee.



Maybe tomorrow Daddy will teach me to drive...

Much love

This will be a long blog, 'cause there's lots of people I love.

Mormor and Grandpa Yummy see me all the time.


Chillin' with Tante Shan Shan.


Mima and Poppa don't get to see me as much as I know they'd like... but I think of them often. Here we are in Maplewood, NJ.


I love Tante Mikki.


Tante Kine loves me lots. Jeg laerer Norsk! Here we are at the Garden of Eden last weekend.


Hsiu-Li helped my Daddy deliver me.


My friend Annika is a big girl. Maybe I'll be big like her one day.


I'm helping Bestefar give me a bottle.


Aunt Ali and I went swimming last weekend. I really like to splash in the pool.


Aunt Nadine visited soon after I was born.

My Bradley Class


and the instructor, Cynthia.

Now that I'm old enough to blog, let me catch you up on my life so far...

Hi, I'm Finn, and I was born 2 weeks early - one day after Mother's Day (May 14, 2007).

Here is my Mom at my baby shower May 5 (just 9 days before I came). She sure looks big...

And it's no wonder! I was 7 lb 8 oz, 20 inches long and very healthy. Mommy and Daddy took Bradley classes to prepare for me coming. I think they did a great job.

Everyone says I kicked a lot ... and still do. I'm a strong little boy. I rolled over for the first time at around 6 weeks. I also have been standing (with help) and trying to "walk" for a long time.

I started lifting my head up even before the cord was cut... too bad there isn't a picture of that - it would have been really cool.

Here's one of me cuddling with Mommy instead.

I was born with lots of dark hair, but now it is falling out.
My Bestefar is bald too, so it's OK.

Maybe I'll be blond like Mommy when it grows back.

At my 2 month well-baby visit I weighed 11 pounds, but at 3 months I weighed 13lbs 11 oz!!

Now my mommy says I'm a fat little boy - what does that mean?
