super finley

after seeing the following pictures, i have my doubts as to whether andre left the scotch at home after all. seems finley turned his bib around and decided he had super powers. without further ado...

SUPER FINLEY!

 

andre feeds finley

dad was at the studio recording drums for an album. andre visited jess for dinner and ended up being put to work feeding finley some apples and chicken. andre is the man. i am just glad that he didn't bring finley scotch (as andre is wont to carry scotch with him at all times for to share with his friends).

 

remember christmas?

a selection of long overdue christmas photos.

at nana and grandpa raufer's house.

 i am sorry we put you in that monkey suit little buddy.

 at great grandma raufer's house and the great raufer gathering.

finley's cousin, attison. they are bound to be partners in crime at raufer gatherings. lets at least hope their misbehavior is clever.

 attison's mom.

at grandma and grandpa travis's house.

 and or our own memory's sake.... pere fouettard, hard at work.

day after christmas... finley tells vera about his favorite presents.

finley's first tooth

 

 

the shirt seems awfully appropriate.

 

you know you need an exorcism when........

....... your kid looks like this. everyone, meet night time finley. last night jess and I were watching a movie when we heard a racket and confustication arise from the area we last saw daytime finley. after waiting with hope for the raucous activity to subside for some time we realized that our son had been replaced with his demonic doppelgänger. after we braved entrance to his chambers we found this.

ok, so the black stuff shows up later. actually the black stuff was our doing. that's his tummy medicine. he was too animated to swallow it like he normally does and this is the result. although he looks fine here, nighttime finley didn't calm down for two hours and jess and I still don't know if Reese Witherspoon chose Paul Rudd or Owen Wilson.

bad dad

what would childhood pictures be like without the "beer drinking" shot? it would be incomplete, that's what. and no, of course fin did not imbibe. pshaw.

day after

after a night of screaming, howling, summoning spirits and general bad behavior, this little guy likes to adoringly gaze into the ether - letting his blue eyes sparkle in the sun while the snot dripping from his nose glistens in the most innocent manner possible, causing his dad to forgive the events from just a few hours ago, take pictures and write run on sentences for the whole world to see.
