Thirty-Four Weeks

New Food and New Toy

Finley has had more fruits and veggies than most people have had their entire life! So far she has tried avocadoes, blueberries, acorn squash, butternut sqush, sweet potatoes, apples, bananas (her favorite!), pears, peaches, nectarines, plums, peas, green beans, papaya, mangoes, pumpkin and carrots. So today we tried something new: oatmeal!

Now Finley will eat nearly anything you feed her, except for avocadoes. She doesn't like tham at all. Other than that, she is completely happy with all her foods. She seemed to be caught off guard by the oatmeal. Once I mixed it with some apples, she was on board with loving it.

Finley also got a new toy, a LeapFrog Learn and Groove Play Table. She goes nuts for it. Plus, it shows off her good standing skills.

Happy Fourth of July!

Waiting for my Playdates to Arrive

We had a big day today with our playgroup, nearly three whole hours of pool time. Finley is becoming quite the little fishy. She really enjoys being in the pool and has a great time splashing around. She splashed so much that we missed her afternoon nap. She had such a great time with all the babies, Nicholas, Sarah, Max and Audrey. I bet she invites them back for another pool date real soon!

Tomorrow is the fourth of July, I don't think we will be able to make the fireworks this year since Finley goes to bed at around 7 pm. Hopefully next year we will be able to catch the big show.

So Many Cute Faces

Miss Finley is super expressive, you definitely know what is on her mind whether she is happy or sad.

In Search of a Tooth...

I took a bunch of pictures on Sunday trying to get Finley's tooth on film. I wasn't suepr successful in showing her pearly white, but I did capture some super cute faces in trying to get her to open her little mouth.

She still hasn't made any progress on the crawling front, just lots of rolling around and spinning around on her stomach. She can "crawl" backwards, but still nothing in the forward motions.

She has been playing pretend, she grabs at the carpet, picks up imaginary food, puts it in her mouth and then chews it. I tried giving her tiny pieces of green beans tonight to see if she was interested, she was! Progress, progress.

A New Food Item...sort of...

I think Finley's second tooth is going to be making an appearance soon. Joe's mom had handed down these nifty little mesh nets to hold ice or frozen foods. I put a coupld of frozen peach slices in there and let Finley go to town. She absolutely loved it!

Can you see her tooth?

Birthday Party Fun!

Finley only had one short nap all day today because she had so much party fun! Ryan turned one this past week and everyone got together to celebrate his Ryan-osaur party. Finley had a great time playing with Riley, I cannot believe they are nearly the same size and Finley is nearly 5 months older.

We had a fantastic time at the party and Sarah outdid herself with all the wonderful food and favors!

I love my Auntie Carrie!

Can you believe how close in size they are?
