tiny finley is now 4 months and not so tiny anymore. at his 4 month well baby, he weighed in at 13lbs 12oz and was 26 in(!). according to the pediatrician he is in the 95th percentile for height and about the 45th for weight, so he's still skinny. he got his shots and did really well until this last one, adorned with a cars band aid. lots of screaming for that (and from me, both sad for my peanut and freaking out that he might see the cars band aid and become a lightning mcqueen addict like so many little boys i know)
but it seems he's made a complete recovery and was completely oblivious to the car. aside from getting bigger, he's added quite a few "skills" to his repertoire. the most exciting development: giggling! on exactly his 4 month "birthday" he decided it was time to start belly laughs and he gave me a solid 15 minutes of laughing and smiling in response to tickling. i teared up a bit and still do (as it's still elusive) thinking that he makes these noises as a happiness response and the giggles are so sweet to hear.
his tummy time is improving, and with those strong muscles, he a sat up unassisted for about 5 seconds. i haven't seen him do it again, so more practice is needed. he has a car walker (we have no stairs) and activity center that he has just gotten into and loves to use his nose to turn on the music and honk the horn. anything and everything goes into his mouth and drool pours out. he has begun "talking" while gumming and enjoys cooing back and forth with his toys. such a big boy!
we took a trip out to pittsburgh to visit friends and to go to his "street of conception" (holden, his middle name) one year after he was conceived. tmi? we'll spare him those details in the future ;) above is his first night in a hotel. i enjoyed the big king bed and fluffy bedding, but finn may have liked it even more.
and while in pittsburgh, finn celebrated his first fourth of july. i believe he slept through the fireworks and our mini sparkler show, but he was able to enjoy more than one bbq and plenty of time with friends. i love his tiny hat - my mom bought that for him in april and it was spinning on his head at that time. looks like he'll take after mr. h3b and have a big noggin full of smarts :)
as long as he's clapping, i don't think he'll mind ;)

Finn has got the cutest little eyes! Such a cutie.
I love the changes in the blog layout. What template are you using? I have been fighting with Blogger's new template designer for the last hour trying to figure out how to make my paragraphs wider. How'd you do it??
Glad to see an update!
hi amy! thank you :)
to adjust the width of your blog, you need to edit the html. find the spot that says outerwrapper and change that number to 780. change the main wrapper to 530 and the sidebar wrapper to 210. this *should* result in a wider column. check this website for more:

Thanks!
