Toddler Time

Finley Anne is walking, not just a step or two, but full on walking. She still prefers to crawl, but I have a feeling she is going to be stepping out all over the place soon enough!

As I was typing this she just had her first meeting with the floor while walking, there were tears for a few seconds, poor girl!

Finley's Christmas Tree

It was nearly impossible to get a good picture of Finley with her Christmas tree. This year I added some pink beaded garland to the tree. I am still on the hunt for more cute pink mini ornaments.

Finley is all over the place and up to taking a couple steps here and there. We are still a far away from walking, but it is some progress. Some of her favorite things to do are read (and tear apart) pop-up books, play with her Little People Farm and she loves all things musical!

Don't I Fit Perfectly?

When (if?) Grammy and Grandad move to Houston, they are going to buy a boat. They currently have a pontoon boat. Our family votes that they get a cute ski boat that Finley fits just perfectly in.

Ho, Ho, Cry!

We took Finley to visit Santa Claus. We visited him at the Bass Pro Shop in Pearland, Texas because you got a 4x6 photo for free and you could take whatever picture you wanted! That is a much better deal than the twenty dollar mall Santa. More importantly, Finley got to take in the spectacle that is the Bass Pro Shop.

Please ignore my chipmunk cheek, I had oral surgery this week.

My, my Finley, what big teeth you have!

Finley is finally starting to take more than a step or two, I think she had our in a row yesterday afternoon. She collapses into your arms once she reaches you. It is adorable. It is becoming harder and harder to take a picture of her because she is so interested in going after the camera. She is most interested in sorting her toys. She will empty her entire toy cabinet and then put everything back into it. We have tried watching the Grinch and the Charlie Brown Christmas specials, but she wasn't interested in either.

Can I have sushi yet?

Snowman

We spied this great snowman in G-Ma's neighborhood on Friday. The builder of it was gracious enough to take a family photo for us!

Snow Pics!

Second Snow!!!

This is Finley's second snow storm, which is more snow than I have seen in Houston in my entire 14 years here. We are bundled up and playing indoors today. Stay safe and warm.

Advent Treats!

Finley got the cutest advent house from her grandparents last year. This year, there are Hershey's Kisses behind every door. And since Finley is too little for the whole Kiss (she might choke on it), she will have to share with me =)

When Mom is away...

Grammy, Grandad and Clifton were home with Finley on the Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving while I was still stuck at work. It seems my parents took photographs of Finley tearing into her first birthday cards. I hope they are in good enough shape for her baby book!
