preparing for the new baby.

we've been talking a lot about the new baby with finn & with other parents that have experienced the life altering experience of going from one to two. we expect some bumps. a few steps back, which is why we aren't pushing potty training (although on his own, he's pretty much potty trained while naked or in underwear, but not with a diaper on) or the big boy bed... we'll see if it helps keeping his world as normal as possible until he's more use to the baby.



he practices with his monkeys... putting them in the swings & rocking them.
this babe is going to be so safe with such a protective big brother :0


we bought a present (thomas the train puzzles) that the baby will give to finn. then bryan & finn picked out a cute lil stuffed animal that he'll give to the baby. finn, often tells me "here ya go baby!" & shows me how he'll give the baby the present. i think he gets it. being gentle is the main thing we're stressing.

bryan & finn have always gotten to spend quite a bit of time together alone, when i escape or work at rei or have a session/wedding. which is good because it's likely to happen even more when this babe is attached to my hip.

here are some of the cute moments i've caught lately:
i posted on facebook that bryan had fallen asleep on the futon in my office with his hands in his pants & when i went to check on finn, he was asleep in the same position. a few friends commented on how i hadn't photographed it... so when i saw this while they were watching a movie i was quick to get my camera.

finn helps bryan workout...


this time i braved taking a picture of finn while he was sleeping with the flash, because here they were sleeping the same way again, except this time with arms tucked underneath.



too cute.
