Dear Finnster,
You are one and a half?! Say what?! How is my baby growing up so fast?! The personality you are developing or should I say show-boating is QUITE rambunctious! You have gotten to the point where for some reason you find it more appealing to just SCREAM at the top of your lungs rather than even cry.
I’m currently listening to you holler at us from your bedroom refusing to take your afternoon nap. It’s enough to make both your daddy and I say WOW every once in a while because you are emitting such high pitched and loud groans, screams, and grunts. You are our crazy baby, that’s for sure!
Some of the things that are most quintessentially Finn to me right now are singing, “Oooooh baby baby, ohhhhh baby baby, oh little baby, ohhh baby baby” with Leyton to you! You wave bye-bye and blow kisses all the time and it melts my heart. When we pick you up from a nap or are about to put you down to bed or even when daddy or I get home from work, you want us to immediately pick you up and then you lay your sweet little head down to nestle into our shoulders.
The latest trick you’ve mastered is trying to out-crazy mommy in the crazy faces contests we do. You’ll make the awkward or EEK face with me and hold your breath and flex your neck and grit your teeth together like the emoji and it just makes me laugh so hard!
Also, you love to still suck your “corner kit” as Leyton used to call it with your thumb when you go to bed. Sometimes if you’re not too tired, you think it’s fun to pull said blanket over your face and play peekaboo though!
You are so full of life, spunk, and crazy #FinnFace as we call it! There is no fear in you, unlike your brother, and it takes a lot to make you cry out in pain. You even stumbled into a huge wooden train the other day face first and didn’t even cry with multiple red marks on your face. Of course, to no one’s surprise, you might give me a few near heart attacks, baby Finn!
You are working on your first few words. You say mama and dada fairly easily now and just this week you said “Ana” from Frozen while Leyton was watching it and have since said it twice when seeing that movie character in Target. At Burn Boot Camp, they told me you said “Thank You” this week! And I swear you are so close to saying, “What’s that?!” It sure does sound like it when you point to things! Ha! You also announce dogs by saying “woof” especially as soon as you pull into Miss Lindsay’s driveway.
You love to swing your Fisher-Price golf club around like a wild man, dump out all the puzzle pieces and matching game pieces and you’ve been banned from Leyton’s room because you destroy his train table & mess with his sound machine every time, ha!
People always comment on how busy you are and that is the absolute truth! If I work on laundry or try to get anything done, you have made 10 messes and tried to shut every toilet in that time. You are a wild man but we wouldn’t have it any other way! We love you and your brave spirit, Finnster! Let’s see what 18 month old milestones you’ve reached so far!

Leyton VS Finn At 18 Months
I thought it would be fun to showcase a little side by side of Leyton and Finn at the same age! It’s crazy how similar yet different their facial features are, expressions, hair, size. You can click HERE to see Leyton’s 18 Month Old Update!
