Surprise

Tonight we were hanging out in the den. Ian and I were looking at something on the computer, and when he turned around...

ta da!

Finley had climbed up on the coffee table! Over the next ten minutes, she climbed up, climbed down and climbed up again - no less than 10 times.

Sunday night at the Pancake House

We went for dinner with Jared and Diana and Finley wore her tutu, favorite jewels, and adorable coat that Shar got her before she was even born.

It's been a while

A long while. I've been very bad about posting, and what makes it worse is that I keep telling myself I need to go back and catch up on all the posts before I can post anything new. No... that's not happening. Let's be realistic. I'll catch you up one day with pictures from our trip back to Connecticut in November, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Finley's first Birthday. For now - just some cute pics that were taken in the last week of Finley chillin' with her favorite lovies and wearing her new tutu.

Fun inside

It's October and we're starting to spend more time inside. Here's Finley having just woke from a nap, playing in her room with the scarves, and practicing her standing at the window seat.

We went to Hawaii

So I'm finally doing a posting of our hawaii family vacation. We went in mid/late September and had a blast. I love Kauai, and now Ian and Finley feel the same way.

Aloha relaxation and fun

Mahalo Mom

Thanks to my mom (that's grandma, to Finley) for hosting the week-long party. We all had a blast.

Hawaii!!

Look, a picture of the three of us!

Big in Japan

I'm shocked at how fast Finley is growing up. She's always seemed plugged in, to me, however now she's really got a handle on things. Like how to untie her crib bumper, pull it down and spy on me as I try to sneak out of her bedroom. She also sits on the kitchen floor and uses wooden spoons like a big girl.

She can stand on the window-seat like big girls often do.

She's still my tiny baby. Check out the jumper we got at a garage sale!

Playtime these days

She loves these cards that were once part of a mobile.

Gearhart

It was a little gray, but all-in-all, not bad weather. At Cannon Beach for the day Goonie Rock!

Gearhart

Grandpa loves Finley.

Finley tells Daddy secrets.

My baby.

This is our favorite house in all of Gearhart. There's another one by the same architect/builder. Wish I could find out who it is. Perhaps we'd get the cute baby discount and they'd build us a house for $10. That'd be sweet.

Time to go home.

Grandma and Grandpa Arrive

We had a great visit from Ian's parents. Hung out at the house for a day or so, then took off for the beach down in Oregon.
