Lots of helpers to open gifts!

A decent family picture of all of us!!

For me??

Hmm, what will I do with them?

Happy 1st birthday Finn!

He liked the mess for a little while and then he was all done.  He didn't eat a lot of cake.

Pretty sure he would rather have his pacifier than cake

I am going for it...

Got it, now stay right there

ahh, there it is

Mine

Thanks, Kevin.  That was fun

Pretty Blue eyes is 1 year old!

Finn Morse Carrithers was born on July 29, 2013 and turns ONE today!!  I really can't believe the year has gone so fast.  For the first six months of his life, he battled one ear infection after another, but after he got tubes he became so much happier.  He is the sweetest guy with such a fun-loving personality.  He loves to babble and compete with the noise from his brothers.  He always wants to eat whatever we are eating so he usually does.  He loves pizza, spaghetti, any type of fruit (especially watermelon, bananas, and pineapple), yogurt, popsicles, oatmeal, pancakes, hotdogs, and cheese quesadillas.

He is fast right now and always on the move.  He rarely sits still for any length of time.  He pulls up on tables and chairs and coasts around the room.  He is starting to stand for a few seconds at a time and occasionally takes a few steps behind his push toys.  He wastes no time in putting anything and everything in his mouth including legos, sand, mulch, and crumbs we drop on the floor.  He is BIG, really BIG.  At his last doctor visit, he was slightly larger than either Luke or Aiden at the same age.  My guess is that he is around 25 pounds, but we will soon find out at his 1 year visit.  He wears size 18-24 months in most clothing and a size 4 diaper.

Over the weekend, we celebrated Finn's 1st birthday with his godparents.  He enjoyed his first taste of cake.  He liked it pretty well, but wasn't crazy about having the icing all over his fingers.  Finn is looking forward to celebrating his birthday with family over the next few weeks so stay tuned!
