A Video Where Nothing Really Happens

What's this whole point of this video, where nothing really happens, you ask?

Since Finn thinks it's hilarious -- then hellaciously scary -- to stick his chunky thighs through the spindles of his crib, I felt it necessary to hunt down some bumper pads.  Yes, I know the risk of SIDS related to bumper pads, but I've waited until the kid is super strong and mobile to get them.

SCORE: $2 bumper pads from Salvation Army that are actually pretty stinkin' cute. Firetrucks, cars, traffic lights, that kinda theme. Matches his nursery pretty well. (The fake printed denim on the back side is less than desirable, but whatever. $2.)

So last night Finn tried out 'em out. He loved the trucks.

And, apparently, he loved to use them to climb up on.

So consequently, last night was also Finn's first night with the lowered crib mattress.

And consequently, I captured the moment in this riotous video.

He played and played, sitting up, with his Baby Einstein music maker and his kangaroo. After about 20 minutes, he was asleep. Not a whimper!

I'll tell you, he is one happy kiddo, and I'm so thankful for that!

So yes, here's a video where nothing really happens and that, my friend, is glorious.

(Sorry the video is dark, but I wasn't about to turn on a light at that point.)
