I was able to catch Finley rolling over on video. Unfortunately, I moved right as she did.

This is my Papa’s favorite dress (of course it’s blue). Can Papa stay home every Friday?!I’m having so much fun!
Oops. Too much fun. I spit up on Mama and my pretty dress.
I love to pose.

Finley’s grandmas are both out of town for a while so I will try and keep up on the posts. I know Mimi wont stop until she finds internet access! This video is nothing special (well, it’s special to me of course). Finley is playing with her exersaucer and telling Mama all about it…

I can’t help but laugh every time I check on Finley. It never fails that she has wriggled out of one sock. She never has both off, or both on. One sock is always off, and it’s never the same foot. Interesting…

Finley had a hot date for Valentine’s Day. Her buddy Logan came over to play.

Finley got dressed up in her valentine outfit (and wore jeans for the first time).She made him a card..
They shared some laughs…They canoodled on the couch…
Then he spit up all over.

Then they played on the floor, where they briefly held hands.

And apparently the date wore him out…

I’m the first to admit that I have a terrible voice. I can’t carry a tune and I always sing the wrong words. I’m probably worse than the worst rejects on American Idol… But my daughter doesn’t know any better and she loves being sung to. When she is fussy in the car and I can’t pick her up, all I need to do is sing the beginning words to her favorite song (the wheels on the bus, accompanied with hand motions, of course) and she is instantly consoled. Who woulda thought?!

Last week Finley learned a new skill…blowing bubbles! Minus the excessive drool, we think it’s pretty funny. This is one of the first things that I’ve noticed her mimicing (besides smiling of course). When we make the sound first, she’ll start doing it. I know this is something all babies eventually learn, but I’m still amazed she’s learning to repeat sounds and use her mouth! We watched Finley playing in her exersaucer last night and marveled at how much she’s learned and grown in only 3 1/2 months!

If you find yourself with some free time on your hands you should check this video out. Our family friend Koti Hu (who was recently paralyzed in a car accident) shares his testimony and our brother Jeff provides some insightful words about crisis and grieving. I’m not personally close to Koti but his music has always touched me and I continue to be encouraged through his story….

Today we had a play date with my friend Lindsey and her baby boy Logan. Finley and Logan are only two days apart so we have lots of fun discussing what life is like with a three month old. The babies were pretty oblivious of each other except for when they briefly held hands. We had a yummy lunch and since it was such a beautiful day we were able to walk to starbucks! Such a fun day-thanks Lindsey!
