Getting ready for Crawfish!

We are heading over to Grandma Matuska's for some yummy crawfish this afternoon, next year Finley will be able to eat them with us. Finley had a great time playing with her cousin Faith last night and she cannot wait to see her again today.

Here are some cute pics from breakfast and showing off her kicks from Auntie Neon.

Future Top Chef?

One of my most favorite television shows is Top Chef, tonight is the season finale. In honor of it, I decided to get Finley dressed for it while we cooked dinner together. She really enjoys hanging out in her bouncer in the kitchen while I cook. I am hoping she will enjoy her high chair as much once she grows into it. The bacon wrapped pork tendrloin is in the oven, dinner will be ready soon.

For the record, Finley and I are Team Stefan tonight, but we would both be okay with Carla taking top honors as well. Let's hope we aren't disappointed.

New toys!

I got the Exersaucer that Santa brought Finley put together today. She seemed to really like it. Now if it were a Rainforest exersaucer, it would be the best, but sadly they don't make one. My favorite part of it is the dragon puppet, I need to think of more things for a dragon to say. So far, I only have "Rawrrrr", that is going to get old really quick.

Finley also had some play time in her Bumbo seat, she played with the animal train that Grandma Matuska, aka G-Ma, got her for Valentine's Day.

Fifteen Weeks

I am sitting with Finley in her room waiting for her to drift off to sleep for a nap, she has grown so much. She is finally getting to the point where she will nap in her crib, which is a huge accomplishment, even if she only naps for 30 minutes or so.

Here are this week's pictures:

Finley goes to the Zoo

I had another baby shower to get to (and another one next Saturday!), so Finley and Clifton spent the morning at the zoo. The flamingoes were her favorite animal of the day. All that pink exposure is finally paying off!

Polly Flinders

When I was a baby, I wore lots of Polly Flinders smocked dresses. They have been tough to find nowadays because the company has gone out of business, but I managed to get one at TJ Maxx of all places. It isn't smocked, but it is quite pretty anyhow.

We had some fun this morning playing with our real kitty cat, Wrigley, and with her kitty cat cousin that Finley got the day she was born from her real cousin Faith.

So that's what those are for...

Since Finley was born, I haven't been able to figure out what the 'cuffs' on her pajamas are. While getting her dressed after her bath today, one of the cuffs had flipped over....got it...they are like built in mittens!

On a very sad note, Finley is continuing to lose her hair. She still has her Bob's Big Boy curl, it is actually getting quite long, but the rest of the hair isn't faring as well.

Here are some cute shots from today, she finally fits in her apple dress. Her expressions crack me up!

What is she so scared of?!?!
I am cute, I know it!

I am tired of all this picture taking nonsense.

Playtime fun

Finley has definitely mastered holding up her head. See how small her outift is? I think it needs to be retired. So sad! We weighed her today and she is 14 pounds.

Rolling, rolling, rolling...

Fourteen Weeks Old

Finley is struggling through her 3 month growth spurt, more like her mommy and daddy are! We are ready for our 12 hour sleeper to return, not that we should really complain, she is still sleeping 8 hour stretches. Just when you were spoiled with 12 hours...

As I was typing this, Finley popped her head up and rolled over! Such a big girl. She did it a couple more times, so I grabbed some pics to post later.

Here are her fourteen week pictures:
