being funny

all of the sudden finley has turned into some funny little character. he's got a personality and he sometimes treats us to giggle fests (he's always been sort of quiet and judgey rather than smiley and giggly).he's also sort of a daredevil. not when it comes to walking - oh, no. but leaping off couches and chairs? sure, no problem! his monthly photos and any shots of him sitting still are next to impossible these days. you can see above that he's debating eating that plant or jumping to the wood floor below.

try to ignore the drool fest and look at those lashes! he is very interested in feet and toes. he even loves the dogs feet and black toenails.

and look! interactive play! or, sharp teeth testing their chopming abilities. along with his personality has come the desire to chew on everything. corners of furniture, baskets, my feet, toys, the dogs' toys...you name it, he's gnawing on it.

and after a long morning of playing, chewing, and trying to fling himself of furniture, there's nothing like a quick nap in a comfy bouncer. he's been doing this a lot now and i find it's a good way to figure out if he's actually tierd in the morning. he plays and the bouncing must lull right off to sleep. i watch him nod off and scoop him up and into his crib to complete his morning nap somewhere a bit less upright.

what a character...
