Finn can now push himself up and sit all by himself!

He was lying in his playpen in our bedroom this morning and Cael was in our bed playing with toys. I looked over to check on Finn and there was his little head poking out over the top of the pen. He was so eager to be able to watch Cael that he taught himself a new skill.

I left Finn on the floor by a toy while I did a few dishes in the kitchen. Cael was running around with a soccer ball. After a few minutes I realized it was awfully quiet and went to investigate.
