Apple Dirt Day Finn!

Happy Birthday! Finn is 2 today! Yay! Here he is with his present from Katie and me, which he got last week---a strider bike! He's getting better at it already. The point is that you learn how to balance first, and then later on, after you've mastered that, then you learn how to pedal. Probably the pedal bike will come in another year, if he makes good progress. I saw him coast with his feet off the ground for about 6-8 feet yesterday, so it's going well. "Bike ridin'!" "Bike-ul, bike-ul!"

Although he doesn't really know what his birthday is, he is excited, and can yell about it really loudly, if the need arises. Below is one of his presents from Grandma Sheryl. Now he can help around the kitchen (he's good at "dumpin'" ingredients in) and look good too.



A quick movie I took of family dinnertime from last week:

In case it wasn't 100% clear, "Apple Dirt Day" is what it sounds like Finn's been saying all week. Usually as in, "Apple Dirt Day. Friiiiday."
He's an exceptionally talented - and cute - talker.
