Summer Fin (and Fun)

**Thanks for all the sweet comments on my post about Shane talking!  It is just amazing to hear his sweet little voice actually saying words.  After lots of worrying, testing, and 5 months of speech therapy, we are so relieved and so hopeful that he will catch up before the funding for his therapy services dry up!  He will be 2 in 3 weeks and had 0 words until last Friday.  You always hear about the kids that say nothing and then have those language explosions, and while we’d hoped that would be our kid’s story too, I have to admit we worried a LOT.  It is more than fine with us that he’s on his own timeline and just likes to do things his own way, we just weren’t sure that was all that was going on.  We are still learning who Shanie is, and we are so thankful that his delays seem to be due to his own little attitude of “I’ll do it when I’m good and ready, so get off my a$$ until then!”  LOL!  It’s been our hope all along, but he’s very hard to read and deciphering what was stubbornness versus a lack of comprehension / inability has been difficult.  Thank you all for your sweet words and all the prayers for our boy.  I am very grateful for all the support, and we are proud of and happy for Shane.  Hopefully he’ll continue to blossom!*** 

Also – please don’t forget to enter The Pretty Peacock giveaway before tomorrow night!

We have a super busy weekend coming up that we’ve been looking forward to for awhile, so I wanted to post a few random pictures before they get lost in the shuffle.    

I LOVE this picture of Finley:

Belly buttons are all the rage at our house right now!
