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:

Go Coogs!

I won four tickets to see UH play Tulane on Valentine's night for being the fourth caller on The Game. I am sure the tickets weren't such a hot commodity, as there were probably less than a 1000 people at the game, but it was still worth it to be able to do a trial run for Finley at a sporting event for free, that way if she had a freak out, we could leave and not have wasted any money. Thank goodness she loved it! We stayed until the end of the game and we even got to get some Frenchy's chicken afterwards. Finley was a real trooper and got to see her Cougars win!

She is already asking when baseball season starts...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Will you be my Valentine?

Of course, Finley's dress is her Valentine...sigh...

Baby laughs!

Finley laughed for me for the first time today. She has laughed for Clifton before, but never me. Luckily, Clifton was here to catch it on video. Finley loves 'jumping', but only if you hold her arms. It is the cutest thing, she is so joyful!

Thanks to Zane for showing me how to rotate the video~

Inside all day...

It has been so beautiful all week, so wouldn't you know that it would rain all day on my day off. Finley and I did get to hit Costco, thank goodness for the parking garage. Too bad I forgot to buy diapers for her. She was in my cart, right there reminding me, and I still forgot!

Some pics from hanging out around the house and yes, she still loves to eat her dress. That won't stop me from putting her in dresses~

Floppy hats are grand!

Clifton put Finley in a cute little dress after she spit up all over her first cute little dress of the day. Little did he know such a cute matching floppy hat was lurking in her drawers. This is her first floppy hat and she loved it. I thought the chin strap would bother her for sure, but she didn't mind one bit. And she looked incredibly adorable in it!

Some cute pics from her 13 week photo shoot

Holding up my head is hard work, I give up

Our daughter, the flasher

Finley has taken to pulling up her dress, it seems to be her new thing. She likes to chew on it, play with it and even cuddle with it. I think someone needs some sort of blanket to snuggle with!

When life gives you lemons...

On Saturday we had a fantastic baby shower for Lori's twins. Finley cannot wait to meet them and have some playmates. It was a tea party theme and I ended up with a ton of lemons. So I squeezed them all and made a lemon cake. There was still some juice leftover, so I made a batch of lemonade as well, because that is what you are supposed to do with lemons.

My trusty assistant was a great help, as usual. And she had her trusty assistant Sohpie helping her. She cannot wait until the day she can join in the family traditions and have cake for breakfast (no worse than a doughnut, right?)

Thirteen Weeks

All dressed up....

It is a beautiful 70 degree day here in Houston, so I got Finley all dolled up for a day of shopping. She has grown so much since Thanksgiving! She was most interested in eating her dress rather than posing for pictures. She is starting to try and roll over, she makes it to her side and then gives up.

Too bad the dress didn't make it out. While I was getting dressed, her diaper gave out and she was certainly in need of a new outfit. Poor Finley!
