After living over 2 years so far with little Miss Personality and getting to see her blossom into the little person that she is, it's no surprise that Finn is all sugar and spice of his own. We love seeing a little more of his tiny personality each day- both in ways similar to Kenna and different. Here are some his fun personality traits we've noticed so far:
-He loves to be in the middle of the action- he doesn't like to lay down, but much prefers to be sitting up in the bumbo chair or up over our shoulders watching the world go by.
-He loves to snuggle and is SUCH a people person already. He loves to be held and talked to, and responds with sweet little nuzzles to our faces. Kenna is over the moon when he mouthes little kisses on her cheek when she kisses him night-night.
-He is super laid back, but has a big temper when he's hungry. He holds his head up really well and will stand on my lap or try to climb his little feet up my belly when he's really hungry! I think Matt will have his rock climbing buddy sooner rather than later.
-It really is uncanny how incredibly much Finn looks like his Daddy. I have joked that we didn't have a baby, we just cloned Matt! It's hard to really capture it in a photo, but in person I'm just astounded by it. He is such a Brogli boy! I've only had one or two people tell me he looks like me, and not until this week which just goes to show you how they change a little each day at this age!
It's funny how such a new little person can so instantly become part of your family. So much of taking care of him reminds me of when Kenna was a baby. He is such a treasure (both kiddos are!) even when having two is a little stressful. He's our big little guy and we are loving watching him grow!
Pictures are so necessary to remember these tiny little days, the ones that go by so fast in such a haze of busy-ness and sleepiness. My boy's legs already stretch across my lap as I nurse him, instead of curling up in a little ball on my belly where they came from only a few short weeks ago.
And this was his response to my prolific photo-taking of him... precious in its own way.
Well, then she ate that too. This girl can put away some ice cream!
Her own ice cream. Such a big, big girl.
Still high on the sweet sounds of new life in our home (and not yet showing the signs of going on 2 months of sleep deprivation on our faces!)- Mommy and Finn asked Daddy to take pictures since bringing her camera was one more thing she forgot to remember.
It felt like the first real family outing, just grabbing a bit of good ice cream after dinner. All four of us!
And here are my favorites of the 1 month ones I took with the good camera:
This one won out for his baby announcement:
And here is Kenna near the same age- at 2 weeks old. I think they look so much alike!
Of course, I'm getting all these pictures soreted just in time to realize that my baby is already 6 weeks old! I've heard the second one grows up more quickly, and I definitely think it's true. He looks less like a newborn and more like a baby every day.
