First Light Rail Ride and First NFL Game

Finley had another huge day today, with her first trip on the Houston Metro Rail and her first trip to an NFL game. This was not her first football game, that honor went to the #15 Houston Cougars last month. I didn't get to go to my first NFL game until I was 25 years old, how lucky is she to go before her first birthday!

She was the only baby I saw at the game and the only stroller as well. Thank goodness we had the stroller Auntie Kristina gave her, it folded up perfectly and stowed under our seats. I won the tickets from 1560 The Game. I also won tickets to Finley's first basketball game from The Game. Finley is their youngest and most loyal listener! Finley with her Rail Pass. Well, technically my pass since she isn't old enough to need one yet!
Waiting for the train.
Boarding for her first train ride. Mind the gap!
This train sure is crowded!
The train ride wore her out! Once again, she hasn't napped at all. So at least she caught a 15 minute cat nap on the walk to the game.
Go Texans!
Enjoying a snack in the second quarter.
What a view!
YAY! Go Texans, way to beat the 49ers. Two wins in a row and we are above 500.
Waiting for the train...

"I am not sure how I feel about it...
....I love it!" Coming from our family, how could she not?
Off the train for the walk home.

First Fashion Show

Finley and I went to Neiman Marcus to watch Riley in the Mary Poppins Children's fashion show. She was so excited to see Auntie Carrie and Auntie Becca. We wrapped up our girly afternoon with lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. The only bad part of the experience is that we are once again napless....sigh.


Riley, she did fantastic!

Yummmmmm, lunch! This was right before she winked at Ben. Such a flirt!

Playgroup Halloween Party

Finley has had no naps today, but she has had a ton of excitement! The first photo session, Finley had someplace to be.
She's still the only one not willing to pose.
"Hey, where did everyone go? I am ready for my photograph to be taken now"
Photo session number two.
It's like a tennis match....look right...

Such cuteness!

Fun with a Cup

Finley is getting better at drinking out of a real cup. She even had some sips from a water bottle at the zoo. The problem with drinking from a real cup is that she also loves to play with cups. Especially the big cups that you get at a sporting event. I have to hide it from her when I am drinking water or else she goes right for it. And it is getting harder and harder to hide things from her.
