Lyrical Hands?!! Watch out John Mayer and James Blunt...

Fin had his first doctor appt Monday. Since we were released from the hospital less than the 36 hours they normally like to hold babies, we agreed to have him seen on Monday to make sure he was still doing well. Ladies and gentlemen, he is "thriving"! Which is a wonderful word for a mom to hear, especially when she is exhausted from late night feedings. He has not only regained weight any initial weight loss, but he has surpassed his birth weight already. So Fin is doing great and we can continue as we have so far.

Anyway, to the title of this posting...
As we were waiting to get Fin weighed, the nurse was marveling over how cute he was and how he moved his hands so gracefully. She referred to them as such "lyrical hands". Apparently Fin has a way with the ladies already and he has yet to even utter a word. John Mayer and James Blunt may be good with the voices, but our son can capture them with a flick of the wrist. This may be a good thing for Fin if he continues to have that grace because anyone who heard his grandpa Paul sing in church knows if Fin takes after his musical ability, then he will need a more redeeming trait. (My father was almost tone deaf, but he loved to sing! A funny combination)

The weather here has not been good which works to our favor this week because Mike can work from home today (Tuesday). Always good to have backup nearby, although he will have to knuckle down and keep from getting distracted with hoopla that is our home. We will see how it goes...
