Doctor Visits

First: More pictures soon, we promise! We've been so busy with life that we're forgetting to document it. That will be remedied.

In the meantime, we've been to the doctor. Preston had a shot to get him ready for his return to Preschool and Finney had all of his 2 month shots. They both handled it quite well. Preston, for what it's worth, appears to feel no pain.

Preston was all over the doctor's office and wanted to be addressed as "Dr. Preston." The nurse and actual doctor were very patient and let him handle stethoscopes and the tools for checking out eyes and ears. Brandon was very brave and agreed to be Dr. Preston's patient while Finney got checked out.

Both boys are totally healthy and beautiful. And Big! Preston's in the 75th percentile for height and weight. The MIghty Finn is so big he's actually off the charts! As of last Friday, he was 25.75 inches long and weighed 15 pounds 9 ounces. He's already in his 6-9 month clothes...so many of the cute little things either never or barely ever got to get worn!  He's so going to be a Viking for Halloween.

this is from a few days ago, but we're slow to get stuff posted lately. it has something to do with the added difficulty of taking 10 seconds to plug a cord in and then taking another minute or so to actually come here and blog a picture.

we are a lazy family.

but anyway, enjoy the sockity goodness and check out our flickr for the whole sockhands series because finn, it turns out, is something of a puppetry prodigy (say that 10 times fast).

Books for Big Brothers

So--I think it's awesome that the US has moved to being a more caring and decent place (no matter what we see on the news. And I particularly think it's awesome that people have bought gifts for the dub because he's now a big brother and we don't want to leave him out. We did this yesterday (though it was partially to feed our own ugly doll addiction). And if you're reading this and you got a little something for the dub to make him continue to feel special and important in the wake of baby finn, thank you!

But here's something odd that I noticed. Nearly every big brother gift the dub has so far received has been a book! Wild! And in further wildness, this sudden influx of book-receiving has totally coincided with a reading explosion for the dub.  which leaves me pondering in a chicken-and-egg kind of way: did the dub send out a "feed me books" vibe to the universe? or did the appearance of so much new reading material spark the explosion? it all happens so fast...i really have no idea.

either way: hooray for reading!

and have no fear, more finney and pdub pictures coming very, very soon!
