Five Months Old!

Today Finn is five months old.  It's hard to believe another month has already gone by.  Finn continues to grow like crazy and is now a roly-poly 17.5 lbs.  He is outgrowing most of his 6 month clothing already!  He is a very happy and content baby, just like his brother was.  He likes to "talk" and makes lots of cute cooing sounds and also likes to blow spit bubbles and raspberries.  He has developed a funny trait of having his tongue sticking out of his mouth much of the time, even while asleep.  Finn is starting to grasp toys (for the sole purpose of bringing them nearer to his mouth) and is constantly sucking on his fingers or toys.  Finn loves his big brother and watches everything Cohen is doing.  He has grown very cuddly this month and I love when I get the chance to sit quietly with him and enjoy how he cuddles into me.

Daycare

Cohen stopped going to daycare before Finn came home from the hospital, but here are a few pics of him in his classroom and with his favorite teacher Tiffani.

Meeting Finn

Here are some pictures of family and friends meeting Finn for the first time.

Finn or Cohen?

Finn looks a lot like his older brother, so I thought I'd put together a little guessing game.  Some of the following pictures are of Finn and some are Cohen (taken at the same age).  Can you guess who is in each picture?  Answers at the bottom.

Four Months Old

Where have the last four months gone?? My sweet baby is now 15 lbs 12 oz (50th percentile, 90th percentile corrected) and we have seen many changes this month.  It feels like Finn has been in a perpetual growth spurt for the last month, feeding constantly.  He continues to be a wonderful baby and still sleeps a lot during both the day and the night.  He has discovered toys and likes to watch and reach for toys suspended above him, but has not yet mastered holding toys.  He has started watching Cohen and is interested in everything he does and he loves any kind of attention that Cohen gives him, especially the numerous kisses (and tolerates getting stickers put on his head).  The best part about this past month is that Finn has become a very smiley baby and always has a smile and a coo for his Mommy :)
