Finn is absolutely precious! He seems so much bigger at 1 then his brothers did. Probably because heis trying to keep up with them.

Foods:
We went to our GI appointment in June and the doctor said to go ahead and try dairy with Finn. We did and he still had a reaction so we are keeping him off dairy. He is drinking rice milk and he enjoys it. With him being off dairy, it seems like my choices for him to eat foods are limited, but I just need to be more creative. He eats eggs everyday. He can eat at least 3 in one sitting. He likes bread (who doesn't) and fruit. Veggies are still hit and miss, but he will eat a couple when I put them on his plate. Finn loves chicken and bacon, but is not fond of beef yet. Spaghetti is also a favorite and he won't let anyone feed him anything so mealtimes are messy. As far as snacks go, he eat bananas, crackers, fruit and veggie melts, nibbly bars and raisins. If he eats too much fruit, it affects his tummy, so we don't give him a lot. While the diet is somewhat limited, he is not losing weight.
Favorites:
Finn loves to go outside. He has been walking since 10 months and has figured out how to go down the stairs. He enjoys riding in his stroller, but wants to get out and walk like the big boys. He also loves to be read to. His favorite book is Richard Scarry's I Am a Bunny. And some Spiderman board books, but I think that's because they are always on top of the book pile thanks to Judah. He will clap along to music and spin in a circle when we ask him to dance. His brothers have taught him to jump, so he will bend at the knees and try to jump off the ground. It's so cute. He loves to walk and run and swing his left arm, which is what his daddy did when he was Finn's age. He loves music and his toys that make sounds and light up.
Words:
He is saying bye-bye, mama and dada. He loves to yell and make lots of other sounds, but those are the ones he uses a lot. And "uh-oh". He does like that one. Probably because he drops lots of things.
We had a family birthday party for Finn's 1st birthday. It was rainy so we didn't do much. He did enjoy a dairy free cupcake, which he ate the icing, but overall, didn't seem to love it. He is a joy. He has so much personality and we love him to pieces. He is a passionate little boy and will make his joy and displeasure known. He loves to smile and laugh with a big, open-mouthed laugh. Finn, you make us a better family! We love you so much!
