ISR continues to amaze me, with both boys making excellent progress again this week! Finn went back to crying a bit more than he had been, but I'm sure it's a little nerve-wracking to be learning all this new stuff. Even so, he is swimming farther and farther distances. Brady is just off to the races. He looks so comfortable, as if he's been swimming forever! We are so proud of these two!
The other big news is that it was Finn's 1st birthday on Sunday! Yay Finn! I would bet every parent says this, but this year has gone by SO fast! Finn has a very laid-back, happy personality, and we feel so fortunate that he's part of our family. Nothing makes Brady happier than getting a laugh out of Finn. For his birthday, we had a nice day together, including a trip to the splash park for some time in the fountains (**why is it that this activity doesn't seem NEARLY as fun when your mom is prepared with swim trunks/towel as it is when it's a random day and you go in fully clothed and not prepared?**) Later, we had our neighbors over for dinner/presents/cake. At first, Finn didn't seem to care what the fuss was about, but by the end of the presents, he was getting into it a little more. After present, he really enjoyed his cake! At first, he wasn't sure how he should go about getting it into his mouth. He tried leaning over and putting his mouth down on it, but that didn't quite yield the results he was looking for. Eventually, he just picked up half of it and proceeded to feed himself bites. I made him a special birthday bib, but he didn't actually get very dirty. It was a lovely celebration with good friends!
