Dear Finn

Tomorrow you will be 2. Can I hardly believe it? You betcha. Here are some important things about you right now.
  • You talk . . . A LOT! You must have 100 words in your vocabulary and thousands of made-up jibberish words.
  • You wake up talking. Sometimes we can hear you singing in your crib. This morning you kept saying "oh man."
  • You are a bundle of energy and rarely sit or stand still.
  • You love water in all forms- bath, shower, fountain, faucet.
  • You have a sweet tooth- you get that from me. We can't even say the word "cookie" around you without stirring up trouble.
  • You have impressive hygiene skills- yesterday you brushed your teeth, combed your hair and tried desperately to put on deodorant. You even tell us when you need a diaper change.
  • You are very good at saying "please" and "thank you." So good in fact that when your Auntie Kirsten babysat you, she said every time she handed you something you said "thank you."
  • When you are excited you put your whole body into it, doubling over and popping back up with a "Wow!"
  • You have the most gorgeous blond hair and beautiful big blue eyes.
  • You love music and love to dance. Although you prefer adult music (Sublime, Iggy Pop, AC/DC) your favorite song is The Itsy Bitsy Spider.
  • You give the best hugs and can be so sweet.
  • When you say "I love Momma" my heart melts.
  • You are incredibly independent and want to do everything by yourself. If your legs were long enough I think you would try to drive the car. Seriously.
  • You are a huge flirt, especially with pretty brunette girls between the ages of 18-25.
  • You are mesmerized by big kids. You want to do everything your cousins do.
  • You are in such a hurry to grow up. Please stop.

We love you very much little man! Happy Birthday.
