New Routines and Finn at 6 weeks

Finn is really getting stronger and able to lift his head and even turn from side to side.  Unlike his brothers as infants, he doesn't complain about being on his stomach.

Our attempt at a picture with everyone after church.  Finn was getting hungry and not all that excited about a picture.

We have even seen a few grins from Baby Finn.  

Last week was a week of transition for us as Luke and Liam began kindergarten and Aiden started back to preschool.  It was odd to have Luke and Liam gone for three days from 8:30 am until 3:30 pm for school.  I thought Aiden would miss them and he did, but I think he also enjoyed being an "only" child for a few hours (while Finn was asleep).  He talked non stop and he was so agreeable to just about anything I asked him to do.  It was a nice time for Aiden and I.  I am not sure John or I were prepared for how tired everyone would be after three full days at school.  Aiden was tired because we had to move up his nap earlier in the afternoon so we could pick up Luke and Liam and it took Aiden awhile to adapt to this so he missed a couple naps.  This week has been a little better, but we are still trying to get into a better routine.

Finn is growing quickly.  It is amazing how much he has changed in just six weeks.  He is more alert and awake during the day (even though he is still up a couple times at night).  He is smiling a little and responding to us.  He loves his brothers and is very entertained by them.  He has started lifting his head when he is on the floor and seems to follow the noises from his brothers in the room.  The daily schedule is still really busy with very little downtime, but I am hopeful it will get easier with time.
