Mr. Personality

Sitting at the table like a big boy while Aiden does his school work (this didn't last very long, but it was worth a try)

Finn in his Cowboy shirt that his godparents got for him in South Dakota

Wearing his hockey gloves from cousin Zach

And now the hockey pants and gloves 

He loves to "help" with laundry

And enjoys watching Luke and Liam play hockey

This was taken at one of our favorite parks before the weather started getting colder.  That is a picture of Aiden and Liam on top of the sledding hill.

Finn turned 15 months old on October 29th.  I would say that in the last month, it seems he has really started to develop his own personality.  He wants to be doing exactly what his brothers are doing all the time.  For example, he really wants to ride the school bus when we walk Luke and Liam down to the bus in the morning for school.  He screams when I pick him up and he insists on standing in line for the bus.  

Finn has also found his voice.  When all his big brothers are all trying to tell me something at the same time, Finn will frequently chime in with his babbling and talking over his brothers.  Wouldn't want to be left out, right?  One of his favorite things to say is "Touchdown" and he raises both of his arms like a football touchdown.  Although he doesn't actually say the word touchdown, it sounds a little like it.

Finn is not afraid to get right in on whatever his brothers are doing.  He is one tough cookie.  Wrestling on the floor, riding scooters, playing soccer, football, or hockey...he is up for just about anything especially if his brothers are involved.

Finn is very adamant when he wants something.  He is not easily distracted, but tends to persist in asking for whatever it is he is requesting.  With Aiden, for example, you could find something else equally enticing and he would move on.  Finn, however, doesn't let things go.  For example, one day at lunch, I wouldn't let him eat an orange without peeling it first and this is what he thought about it.  

Not so happy....

Thankfully, most of the time, he is sweet and funny.  We all laugh at his facial expressions, his babbling, and attempts to get into just about anything he can reach.  The big boys find it hilarious when he gets into the trash, toilet, and other such items.  

Finn had his 15 month check up this week and he is currently the largest of all four boys.  We compared his height, weight, and head circumference to his brothers at the same age and Finn is an inch taller and a pound heavier than either Luke or Aiden (who were basically identical in height and weight at 15 months) at the same age.  He is in the 99th percentile for height and 98th percentile for weight.  No wonder he is so heavy to carry around!!
