Yo Ho - It's Pirate's Life for Finn

Finn's buddy Gibbeny celebrated his first birthday with swashbuckling Pirate party. We all had a great time and luckily no one had to walk the plank.

Sitting Pretty

Finn has started sitting on his own. He looks great, but his balance needs a little work. He can stay upright for just a few seconds at a time, so we had to work fast to get photos.

Brad's 500lb Baby

A new baby has arrived nearly 6 months after its older brother Finn. It's a solid 500lbs and seems to be doing quite well. Brad has been taking the baby out to make sure it get lots of fresh air and sunshine. I'm pretty sure it's a baby boy, but we will have to confirm at its first doctor's visit.

This was Finn's reaction to the new baby! (Admittedly, mine was similar.)

What a cute kid!

Planes, Trains and the Cabriolet

Finn took his first ride at ski resort. Sure it was on the Cabriolet on the way to a concert this summer, but it's never too early to get him on the slopes.

Finn turns Five Months

It's unbelievable that Finn is five months old! He's rolling over and now just starting to sit up by himself for just a few seconds at a time. He loves to laugh at his little dog Max and has developed a knack for squealing at the top of his lungs.

The Poop on Croup

The Croup has nearly wiped out the Rutledge Household. What started as a stuffy nose and red eye quickly turned into a heinous cough, runny nose, up all night sickness resulting in four trips to the doctor and two prescriptions. It's been rough, but we are hoping to be on the tail-end. After nearly two weeks of waking up every hour during the night, Finn is finally getting back to a semi-normal sleep schedule, which means his parents may not become completely insane before in recovers.
