Fintastic!

We're settling back into our routine since being back in ATL since Sunday evening. Fintan and I are both sick though :( Nothing too bad but I think being around the house with all that carpet and dust did me in...and Fin is sick by association, I assume. We had dinner with some friends on Monday night: Mike, Elaine, and Z. It was a brief dinner for us, as Fintan was exhausted but the food was good none-the-less and it's always great to see the smiling faces of our neighbors.

Fintan had his 6-month check-up yesterday. He's great! 19lbs (Jeff and I both swore he weighed more), 28 inches (again, he seems much larger than that), and his head circumference is 18inches (that is huge :). The doc said he was very happy with how Fintan is growing and repeated, 'What a happy boy!' Dr Ecklund was also impressed with his tooth and the fact that he's been army crawling for just under 4 weeks. Fintan did really well with the shots again this time. I hid in the corner so he couldn't see me when he received them and then swooped in to comfort him when they were done. The nurse was confident and quick and Fin was consoled as soon as I picked him up.

Betty is coming to visit tomorrow from NYC! Can't wait for her to see Fintan again as he was only 6-weeks old the last time she saw him. Jeff and I both miss seeing her and can't wait to have her around for the weekend.

Here are a bunch of pics of Fintan from today.

Out for our regular evening walk around the park.


So sweet.


He was having a blast rolling around the floor. For some reason, when I laid down too, to take his picture, he thought it was hilarious.


Then of course he wanted to eat the camera.


Getting closer!


Still trying to eat it!


Uff-da! The camera was saved thanks to Fidel providing a key distraction!


Diego and Fintan: paw and hand.
