(katniss' pov)

I can't believe what I just heard. Finn just said his first word, and it was dada! I look over at Peeta who is already bouncing Finn up and down on his lap. The look on peeta's face says it all, how proud he is of his son. "Finn, can you say dada?" Peeta asks trying to get a response out of him. "Dada" Finn replies with a little grin on his face, obviously proud of himself. "Did my little boy just say his first word?" I coo at Finn, he looks at me with a toothless grin and nods his head. After more attempts of trying to get him to say other words we decide to carry on with our baking. Out the corner of my eye I could see Finn yawning, "I think it's time for someone's nap" I say heading over to his highchair, I go to pick him up out of the highchair but he starts to thrash around in his highchair screaming. I keep trying to pick him up but he just kicks at me, he accidentally hits himself in the face and starts to cry, this then makes willow cry. "Peeta. You deal with Finn and I'll deal with willow" I tell him. He pulls Finn out of the highchair and carries him upstairs, I do the same with willow. We get them both dressed for bed and place them in their cots, as soon as their heads touch the pillow they're already fast asleep. Peeta is sitting on the rocking chair while I kiss them both goodnight. I walk over to Peeta and sit on his lap with my arms wrapped around his shoulder, "Today's been eventful" I tell him with a huff, "Finn has never reacted like that before, it was scary watching him thrash around and kicking you" Peeta tells me, "he was just tired, he's had a long and exciting day" I reply with a little smile, "besides, I'm sure we'll get more of that in the future" ...
