Should we call a Waaaaah-mbulance?

Finley is dressed in her Dalamtian outfit today, so she would fit in great at a fire station...though she would prefer to be in am waaaah-mbulance with all that crying.


Luckily, a trip to Hobby Lobby and HEB turned those tears right around. Of course, her friend Wrigley was excited to see her when we got home.

Holding her head up!

Finley was great at holding her head up when she was first born, but lately she has been regressing and hasn't been enjoying her tummy time at all. This morning, she was back into holding her head up and I got lots of great pictures of her. Wrigley was hanging out with us the entire time and I got a great shot of her looking out the window at a bird.

Pants that were once too long...

Are now clamdiggers...she is growing so fast! I love this outfit so much, I will probably make her wear it as shorts. We had some fun taking photos this morning while listening to The Killers and playing with Wrigley. She is now sleeping in her swing, which gives me time to get the short ribs prepped for my dinner party this evening.

Here are some of my favorite pictures, there are a ton that turned out super cute.

Playdate with Ryan


Ryan showed off his downward dog crawling skills and Finley was super impressed. Both babies were curious about each other and Ryan was super cute playing with all his neat toys. I see a great friendship in their future, Ryan can teach Finley so much: sitting up, crawling, playing with toys. We had a great afternoon.


Later in the day Finley charmed the guy who is going to repair our fence. Maybe she can score us a discount!

Little sneezers!

Finley got the cutest pink elephant from Zane and Karen. She loves dancing to it, but for some reason, it makes her sneeze! Both times I videoed her, she was sneezing at the end. I need to remember that videos cannot be rotated...whoops~

We had lunch with Auntie Lori today, Finley cannot wait to meet her new friends Courtney and Kendall.

We're going to the zoo today to see the animals laugh and play

Finley had her very first trip to the Houston Zoo today. We got a membership so that we could enjoy the zoo often this year. She slept through the majority of the afternoon, but I am sure she smelled all the animals we saw. We met Patrick, his wife Shannon and his three daughters (plus one of their friends). It was quite a fun day and Finley cannot wait to go back to see all her animal friends. She is especially excited to return to see the cats, since half of the exhibit was closed.


Awake and ready to see some animals:

The sampler is finally hung up

After having to take it to a second place to have it framed, it is finally complete and on her wall. The delay was totally in framing, I had the date stitched in before we even left the hospital.

I wonder if she will like it or not when she grows up.

Two month appointment

Finley is one big bug! She is 90% for her height (23.75 inches) and 90% for her weight (12 pounds 4.5 ounces). Her head is 15 inches, 55%. We had her two month shots, she is seeming to do okay so far. She is very sleepy and snuggly, so I am just going to relax with her all afternoon to make sure she is okay.

Here is a before shot:
