He was so chill all the time.
When he was awake, he would just look around at the world and take it all in, and when he was asleep, he would settle down in his basket and be as peaceful as an angel.
That didn't last as long as we hoped... he's going through a time when he HATES his basket and won't sleep in it. In fact, if you're not holding him he's unhappy.
If the light is on, he's unhappy. If the light is off, he's unhappy. Basically, the truth of the matter is, Finn is a baby. Babies cry. Therefore (as much as we post pictures on this blog that seem to prove otherwise):
Finn.
Crys.
Proof:
And, as new parents, we have learned the ultimate truth about parent hood. We will do ANYTHING to get Finn to stop crying. And, if we can get him to sleep? It's fantastic. If we can get him to sleep somewhere other than our arms?! BLISS
So here are some things that we've discovered:
If Finn falls asleep in the bed, brilliant! Don't move! SLEEP!
If he falls asleep on the couch -don't move! GET STUFF DONE!
If he falls asleep on top of you - don't move! SLEEP!
If he falls asleep in the chair - don't move! Grab the DVD player...
And if you find something that gets him to sleep in his basket, by all means embrace it!
All of this leads up to my favourite pictures... and a video from when they were taken. They are amazing to say the least!
In a nutshell: Finn was crying. We were trying to change his nappy when he weed on everything, thus meaning we had to change all of his clothes... Finn was now screaming and we weren't quite managing to get his clothes quite on him.
And then.
He stopped crying.
Just stopped. Something had made him happy again - so we froze and let him stay exactly as he was...
and then couldn't stop laughing.
Enjoy :)
