Our family is a little divided about this particular holiday, for obvious reasons, but it is clear whose opinion prevails by the union jack bumper sticker on our new car.
Little Finn was born on another American holiday just over 8 months ago. It is common fact that babies grow and that they grow at a startling rate, but really, this is almost too much. 8 months ago I was cradling a newborn. Today, I am:
1. getting frequent bites from five little teeth
2. running to the rescue as Finn falls from his attempt at climbing up on the couch by himself
3. chasing a crawler as he races around from one danger to another (he would beat all of us at a crawling race, by the way)
4. grabbing Finn as he pulls himself up on wheelie office chairs that move
5. watching in amazement as he eats almost as much solid food as a grown person (he has never turned down anything we put in front of him)
6. listening to Finn learn to talk (Da-da is his first word!)
If the next 8 months are this exciting, we are in for some fun!
