A boy, A girl & a 10 month old

My husband George and I welcomed our bundle of joy into the world last November. He is an absolute joy and with each new day I am constantly amazed with how he grows. His personality is delightful and our home is perpetually filled with baby coos, laughter and very occasionally tears. Phineas (Phin) is a total boy. In to everything, banging, hitting, hammering, clanging and rough housing in general. I have many mom friends now several of whom have little girls. With confidence I can say that moms with girls and moms with boys live very different lives. From what I have witnessed little girls are very sweet, delicate and generally gentle. They play independently, they are gentle with their toys or dolls and most importantly with one another. Boys however are typically busy, bouldering and much more rough than their female counterparts. At playgroups you will find my son pulling pony tails, telling stories in his loudest voice and creating the most racket in a hammer like fashion with whatever objects he can find. In our swimming class he chats away while all the other little peanuts float around quietly with their parents. At daycare he goes for the loudest toy and hoards it from the other children who are often older than him. He flirts with any woman he see's and overall is just full of personality, it oozes from his every pore. Phin has mastered crawling, he is just weeks away from walking, he stands about 32 inches tall with blonde hair, blue eyes, 8 teeth and a huge heart. George and I adore our son and look forward to sharing some of our many stories with you including The good, The bad and The ugly.
