Finn vs Solids

 Things have been going pretty well over the past few days. Since Finn has been acting so much better Ethan and I decided to takeFinn home to my parent's house for the weekend. Something that has never been that much enjoyable because Finn cried the entire 2 hours up to north canton, and then when we got there he would be pretty fussy, and always wanted to be held. But this trip was different. Finn slept the entire 2 hour drive up. It was amazing. He woke up as soon as we got there, and was super pleasant and smiley. The trip over all was very nice. He was able to hang out in his pack and play and play with his toys and did not demand to be held all the time. He got to see a lot of visitors while we were home!

The only bad thing was Finn did not sleep like at all when we were home! He only had a total of 5 hours in a 24 hour period. He just couldn't settle down. He wanted to be up and play. He wasn't crying or fussing...he was just up. It kind of makes sense because the doctor said he is finally feeling better and is actually enjoying his time awake, so do we blame him for wanting to play a lot? He is making up for lost time. It makes sense, but boy I was exhausted this weekend. Finn was too. He fell asleep in the car on the way home too. Which is super. Then he came home, had a bottle and went to sleep in his crib for the next 8 hours! It was awesome. We were both so tired.

He was so good today. We resumed our quest to conquer solids. It was such a better experience today then it ever was before. He did not fuss when I put him in his high chair. He was still kind of confused when it came to the spoon and did not want to open his mouth for me. But we worked thru it. He finished his whole serving of oatmeal (something he has never done before) and it only took us like 20 minutes for the feeding...something that used to take us at least an hour, and in that hour there were many screams and tears. But today was a very positive experience! Just look how happy he is. It is such a relief that he doesn't mind sitting in chairs anymore. The doctor thinks the reason he was so particular about certain positions was because he had migraines due to all the seisures. And anyone who has ever had a migraine knows that different positions can really be painful. But it seems that we have fixed that problem. :)

Finn is now a rolling over machine. He rolled over 5 times in a row today. I was lucky to get one of the times on video.

He was so proud of himself. He was such a good boy today. I keep hoping and praying this trend continues.
