Five Things I Love About Finn, Who Turned 1 a Month Ago

1. The way he points at his head when you ask him "where's your head?"

2. The way his little eyebrows pokes up for a split second when he peeks around a corner, or over the back of a chair. He knows that being sneaky is funny, and I when laugh, he laughs back.
3. The way he always seems to leave the room Bridget and I are in. It's a pain in the butt, but I admire his independence, or even just his interest in checking out what's going on in the kitchen (Answer: nothing).
4. The way he gets all squealish when he knows or thinks Bridget is chasing him around the living room or between her and my bedroom. He is still so little and wobbly, and stands with his feet so wide apart. And its seems that when he gets running like this his feet only get wider and wider apart, and he has to lift his hands above his head for balance.
5. Maybe most of all I love the way he rubs his face into Bridget and blankets and stuffed animals, and the way he rubs his face into me. He grabs my arm, or my leg if I am standing, or grabs either side of my face and just pushes his face into me. I'm not sure why he does it, but it feels to me like he just can't get close enough. And at night, when I put my arm through the bars of his crib, he clings to it and cuddles it like it's all he's got.
