Finn Jokes

What did the baseball player say to the dumptruck player?
----Don't dump your dirt in the guitar

Knock Knock
Who's there?
House
House Who?
House you can't live in me.

Knock Knock
Who's there?
Bird
Bird who?
Birdie, birdie you can't see me.

Post modern, dada or what we are not certain. I think Finn thinks Andrew and I have very poor senses of humour because he often has to tell us something is a joke and laugh before we join in.

College Royal 2010

Thankfully not a real cow (both for Finn and the cow)

Every year with the piglets a photo we must take - this year they were all tired out.

Finally big enough for the tractor rodeo.

Finn's favourite part of College Royal was the pancake flip. "Farmhouse pancakes" boom, boom, boom boom boom (large drumming) - has been heard at our house ever since. Teams create unique pancake flavours (our favourite was apple caramel, much better than kitkat or smarties) and encourage the crowd the try their wares with rousing fight songs and cheers. Last year it was a bit loud for Finn (although he remembered it a year later) this year it was right up his alley. Once again we saw lots of wild and farm animals. Finn was finally big enough to work the tractor in the tractor rodeo. Tabitha slept through most of this (not the pancake drumming of course) but did find one large cow very interesting.

I rock forward on my hands and knees and look like I'm about to crawl - but do a belly flop instead.

I love to laugh at my brother and scream along with him.

Dadada.

Hiiiiii?

The two handed wave.

Two bottom teeth and top two poking through.

Covered in hives from goodness knows what? Doctor not sure......

Eating


We are trying something new with Tabitha in the solids department.....Baby led weaning. Instead of starting with purees and cereals we are jumping right to finger foods. Apart from the occasional gag (which scared us a lot the first time) she is really doing well. She eats almost the same foods we eat - just differently shaped so she can easily pick them up an get them to her mouth. Unlike her brother she has really taken to green foods and readily eats broccoli whenever it is offered.

Tabs can sit up now unassisted. She of course has given up rolling so if she ends up on her back she just squawks until we sit her up again.

She is 26 1/2 inches and weighs and 19.4 lbs. Yikes!
