A few funny things.

Finley is getting cuter and funnier every day. Her little personality makes me laugh all of the time. She hasn't said many new words lately but this one caught me off gaurd. We were driving Chad to work last week and he asked her if she felt hot in her car seat and and she said "Yep!" Just to make sure, he asked if she was cold and she said "Nope!"

I know she understands what I am telling her because every time I catch her eating something she's not supposed to she throws it as if that'll hide the evidence. We'll be driving in the car and I can hear her munching an her hair clip or shoe and all I have to say is, "Finley", and the bow or shoe comes flying into the front seat.

Just a ride in the park

Saturdays are Chad's long ride days so Fin and I decided to meet him at a farm that is near the end of his 20 mile bike ride. She loved the slide and goats but most of all her freedom. Acres and acres of farmland to explore. The slide was the biggest and fastest one that she has ever been on. You can tell by the look on her face that she may not have been ready for such a speedy ride.

She also had her first taste of a little sip of heaven... the Capri Sun. She has only had juice a couple of times but based on her reaction we may have to buy some more of these (We usually stick with the hard stuff, like Rootbeer! We ain't raisin' no sissy!).

Go Baby Go!

Reading away...

If there is one thing our little girl loves to do, it is to look at books. This is what she was doing when I walked into her room Sunday morning. She has just learned how to climb up onto the rocking chair. This was the first time she brought along a book.

Saturday at Cannon Beach

We had such a FUN trip to the beach last weekend! The food was delicious and the weather was great (well it was a little chilly, you could probably tell by the way Finley was dressed). Some stranger actually said laughing, "The only way she can get away with wearing that outfit is because she is so darn cute...She looks like some kind of fancy rooster!" She did look a little silly wearing jeans under her dress and then topping it off with a read hooded sweatshirt. But I want my baby warm. She loved playing in the sand with her dad. It was such a relaxing afternoon. We are lucky to live in such a beautiful place!

Hello again!

Its been a while. We are in the process of selling our home and it has been all consuming! Cute little Finley is always trying to help make messes. What she doesn't realize is that we could use a little more help to "CLEAN" messes. Someday she'll understand... maybe!
