What's My Fortune?

Finley is still wholly un-enthusiastic about Chinese food. We went to Kam's for dinner tonight. The cool thing about Kam's is their steamed dumplings. You get a little set to make your own sauce. It contains vinegar, oil, a ginger sauce, soy sauce and little dishes of red and green minced chili peppers. I make my sauce super vinegar-y and only use the green chilis. Clifton's only has a splash of vinegar and a TON of the red chilis. Finley would spit out any of the dumplings from my plate, but she loved Clifton's. This girl can handle the spice!

I tried to give her pickles the other day, she didn't like those either. How can you not like vinegar??!?!?!

One Year Doctor Appointment

Finley had her one year doctor appointment today and she did great! Poor thing had to endure four shots, two in each thigh. She cried during both sets, it was heartbreaking. She seemed to be back in good spirits afterwards, let’s hope she gets lots of rest this afternoon.

She was all smiles and talking up a storm before it was time for the shots. Her pediatrician said she is progressing perfectly and said our concerns over her weight were not warranted. That was a relief! She still hasn’t hit 20 pounds yet, considering the amount of food she eats, I was shocked. Her height has jumped up, she is really long and lean.

Height: 30” (75th to 90th percentile)
Weight: 19 pounds, 11 ounces (10th to 25th percentile)
Head: 17 ¾” (50th percentile)

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Finley and Clifton both loved their birthday chicken pot pie. Finley was a great helper in unwrapping gifts. She didn't get to stay up for cake, she was exhausted from her big play day at the Tot Spot. This time of year is crazy for holidays! First Halloween, then Finley's birthday, then Clifton's birthday, then G-ma's birthday, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas and finally New Years~ so much excitement for the Bug.

Ladybug Picnic!

We didn't have sack races or toast marshmallows and we didn't even tell any knock knock jokes, but we had a swell time at Finley's Ladybug Picnic. A great big thank you to all the picnic attendees, we are so glad you were able to celebrate Miss Finley Bug's very first birthday. A very special thanks to Auntie Shannon for creating the most spectacular cake.
