So when do I get my big girl Ducati?

Even though the age limit is at a two year old minimum, Clifton decided it was time to put together the Ducati Race Track. Finley seemed to enjoy watching the bikes race, as did Wrigley. She kept trying to grab at the bikes, it was the cutest thing ever.

It's Hot at the Zoo

On Father's day, Clifton requested to go to the zoo. Even with a 9am start time, we were all way too hot there! We did get to catch the tiger training.

Happy Father's Day

We took an early morning trip to the zoo and now Finley is taking a nap to get ready for dinner with her daddy. It was super hot at the zoo, but we were able to watch the tiger training while we were there. We ran into Marianne, Jason and Joe at the zoo. Joe is so smart!

Her Mother's Daughter

Finley loves boxes! I am not sure if it is much as I love boxes or if it is as much as my mom loves boxes, but she really loves them. We were wrapping Clifton's Father's Day gift this morning and I turned for one second and she had the box top off trying to eat it. She also was mad for the scotch tape, no matter where I hid it, she found it. That will be a helpful skill during X-Mas present wrapping, since I always misplace the tape.

Another First...

Finley sat in a restaurant high chair for the very first time last night. We were out for crablegs for my birthday and she did just great. She was super jealous that I got crab legs and she did not, but she had her crab outfit on in honor of the occasion. Her sweet potato, pear and banana dinner just doesn't have quite the yumminess factor that steamed crabs do. Soon enough she will get to try some and we can order Clifton something from the kids menu.

Baptisms and Babies

Finley and I went out to the land of Sugar Land to see Courtney and Kendall get baptised and to celebrate with a lunch after. It was baby madness in a very good way. Since we haven't gotten to see Ryan, Riley and the girls for our usual playdates, it was great to see everyone. Ryan is growing so fast, it is just amazing to watch! I think Riley is already as tall as Finley is, imagine that.

The twins were angels during the church service and were sleeping while we all enjoyed a fantastic lunch.

The gorgeous girls.

Alright, so I will hit you on the head, you hit her on the head, deal?

Ready to Shop!

Finley is finally big enough to sit in the big girl seat in the shopping cart. She absolutely loved it. She was squealing with happiness throughout the Costco parking garage. It is much easier for me to shop now without a huge infant carrier in the basket, especially at Costco. She got lots of compliments throughout Kroger and Costco. She is already a bargain shopper!

Pretty in Polly Flinders

Polly Flinders seems to be the same as Kissy Kissy, everything runs tiny! No vanity sizing here. Finley fit perfectly into a 9 month size (same as Kissy Kissy) already, she is barely in 6 month clothes in all other brands.

Finners say: "MFAH"

Clifton and I took Finley to her first trip to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston today. She seemed to enjoy it, though she still doesn't like to be facing outward in her stroller. About a third of the way through our visit, we had to rotate the stroller because she got fussy not seeing either Clifton or I. North Looks South was a fantastic exhibit, I recommend it highly.

We also started pumpkin today, Finley had a Thanksgiving pie themed breakfast today: applesauce and pumpkin. I am guessing she will enjoy both. Clifton and I got to reap the benefits of her pumpkin eating, we had pumpkin waffles.

Such a Cute Bug

Finley is wearing her oh so adorable lady bug dress today, the pockets are lady bugs. We have had a big day so far, lots of playing. We also worked on her top secret Father's Day project. I have some great pictures, but I cannot post them until after the holiday, we wouldn't want to ruin the surprise.

We can still feel her tooth, but we cannot see it unless there is a flashlight involved. She still shows no signs of crawling, but she can spin around on her tummy pretty well. She is so curious, so it is going to be a big change once she gets mobile.
