Finn is not too sure about this kid that he is forced to spend most of his days with. And certainly isn’t a fan of any physical touching initiated by said kid.

QUESTION: What do you get when you mix a loud-mouth momma, an industrious grandpa and an electrical engineer uncle?
ANSWER: A very happy, spoiled-rotten 1 year old.
It was around Christmas when I happened to, offhandedly, mention to Aunt Kylies that what the kid would really like is a board that had all kinds of buttons and [...]
WARNING DAD - you can just go ahead & skip this one.
As soon as I knew I was pregnant - I knew I would attempt breastfeeding, because let’s face it - it is sooo the cool thing to do. However, I didn’t understand it, I wasn’t looking forward to it and frankly, I was terrified. [...]
