This one is strong willed. He knows what he wants and can be quite dramatic when things don't go his way. He is just full of emotions and so expressive. Most of the time he has quite the serious face, but it makes his smiles & giggles all the more special. While Liam never so much as threw a tantrum until he was nearly two, Finn has already mastered the open-mouth, head tossed back, angry backwards walk. He's also a big fan of throwing himself on the floor. It can be hard not to laugh at times with just how expressive he can be with his whole being when he's upset. He certainly wants you to KNOW how he feels about it.

He's always on the go & boy is he fast! He has a huge stride and can cover quite a bit of distance quickly when he wants to. He's already extremely coordinated and has quite the throwing arm on him. He loves all sports and tries to play everything that the big kids do. His favorite right now is the basketball hoop. He grabs a ball, holds it above his head, and stands under the hoop until someone lifts him for a slam dunk. He can already dribble a soccer ball, and is quite good with the golf clubs too (hockey style). He picks things up so quickly. He is a strong boy and can already take Liam down. There is plenty of wrestling in our house, and Finn is usually a willing participant.
He had a huge verbal leap back around 10ish months, but no big explosion since then. The best thing to hear out of his mouth is "Liam". It's so clear and he shouts it all day long. He babbles plenty and tries new words all the time. He definitely knows what he's saying, but often we have no clue. Liam seems to be better at deciphering him than Conor or I. Teething has been rough on him. It seems that there is always at least one tooth working its way through. He doesn't eat much during those times, but he's always hungry for yogurt. He has quite the obsession, much like his big brother has had for years. He'll go to his highchair and beg for some yogurt. Liam was exactly the same way! And raspberries are probably his next favorite food. He can put those back all day long, although he prefers them right off the bush as opposed to store bought. So fancy!

Such a sweet boy! I love his nicknames. I think Huckle might be my favorite. As for the tan lines in the wrists & ankles. Wyatt has them, too & they melt me!
ReplyDeleteHow is he 15mo old already?! He is just too precious! So interesting how siblings can be so different...I love watching the dynamic between siblings! Finn & Liam seem to have such a good relationship. Happy 15 months!!
ReplyDeletegosh, he is just the cutest!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute!! He looks a lot like Liam in those pictures of him sleeping!! Growing up so fast!
ReplyDeleteHe's the cutest! And I love all your detail shots. Nothing better than baby hands, feet, and bellies! I love when the pajamas ride up like that!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the strong will and dramatic flair is a second child thing? Your first paragraph could have easily been about Julia!
ReplyDeleteI love that Finn wants to keep up with the big kids, can take down his brother, and is particular about berries from a bush v. the store. Such a little man.
Happy 15 Months to Finn!
He is absolutely adorable!!! <3 Thanks for the update!
ReplyDeleteIm with Desiree, second kids are where the drama is at. But in my case, B learned from the best, Kinsey is thee ultimate Drama Queen ;) Finn's little pout is just the cutest.
ReplyDeleteI love that the word that Finn uses the most often is Liam. All of the second kid posts that I read, they sure do love their older siblings!
ReplyDeleteSo cute that he says Liam the most :) He is really getting big, he looks a bit more like Liam now that he's older. They're obviously very different boys but I can see parts of where Liam got his looks from in Finn now.

Those sleeping photos are amazing! I have a 10 month old, so it's exciting to know what he'll be doing in the next few months!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, how sweet - those lips, eyelashes, and the tanned-rolls!! These second-born kids are something else, huh?! He seems quite similar to Harps. They keep it interesting, that's for sure. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Laura, your pictures always get me. Like to the core. I tear up when I see them. I can just feel your love for him through your photos, and the moments you capture are beautiful. Here's the the wild child...I feel ya! Happy 14 months to one heck of a handsome little man.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSomething about his face in that first picture reminds me so much of Mabel. Our brown eyed strong willed babies! Lol.
ReplyDeleteJust because I'm curious- about how often is he nursing in a 24 hr period these days?
You have 2 adorable and sweet boys! What special memories to remember Finn, I can't get over how amazing all his pictures are too! Xo, Stephanie
ReplyDeleteawwwww he is the cutest :) i love his cheeks and rolls. he sounds like quite the character, and i love seeing him with your cat on snapchat!
ReplyDeleteOh what a sweet boy!! These pictures of him are absolutely perfect. There's something so sweet about sleeping baby pictures. I love all of his nicknames and that each of you have a different favorite.
