Walking!

Yes, yes, he is just about there!  He is walking!

Fin we know can walk, does a mummy (hands out in front) toddle... he can walk but is very cautious.  This weekend he practiced (ever so proudly) going between Ahmad and I in the kitchen.  It was sooo exciting.  However, with the new found mobility also comes the new found exploring skills... watch out kitchen drawers and cabinets... there is no hiding from a 1 year old!

Its funny, January 1 marked Kai's first steps and Fin's are with March 1st.

Fin's Surgery

Well, finally the little man was well enough to proceed with surgery.  We drove over to John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek early in the morning.  The hospital was award winning and beautiful.  It had special set ups for children (toys, pillow cases, attention to details).  We met with the anesthesiologist and then the surgeon.  It was so hard to let him go, i was so nervous but he was a champ.  We found everything we were looking for and the procedure was a full success.  We left around 3pm just in time to beat the work day traffic home, pick up Kai and cuddle with our baby!

Love you Fin, so glad its over and CONGRATS on being such a brave strong boy!

Birthday Party #4

Finally, Sunday we had our first Birthday party for Fin.  We kept it a small affair with close friends.  The theme was balls and balls of rain poured down (the only freak rainstorm in months!).  I had a bubble machine, swimming pool of plastic play balls, ball toys and ball treats.  We served shimp, lobster and steak!  It was a huge hit!

Fin slept thru most of it... but here is what I was able to capture of the fun!

Happy First Birthday our baby boy!  May your days be bright and sunny and filled with all the worldly delights you wish for!

So Big

Fin's new party trick!  How big is Fin?  Soooo BIG!

Someone is crawling!
