Week 10- Girl Cousins

Last week Finley had fun with her boy cousins and this week was all about time spent with her girl cousins!!  She got to see them 4 out of 7 days this week!  This was an exciting week for Finley's big cousin Ella who started kindergarten!!  So proud of her for getting the purple star award on her very first day for being the best student in the class.  While Ella was at school, Grace came over and played so Aunt Sarah could go get her hair done. Grace insisted that we dress up "baby Finley" as a ballerina.  "Baby Finley" is what Grace called her in the womb and still refers to her as.  ;)  Grace then read books to Finley and when I laid her on her play mat, Grace felt that Finley needed to be surrounded by books. Never too early to get her reading!!

When Sarah came to pick up Grace she for a little bit and was holding Finley and talking to her and swore to me that Finley said HI! :) I do talk to Finley all the time and she tries mimicking what I'm saying moving her lips and cooing and sometimes it does actually sound like she repeats me.  Sarah swore by it but couldn't get her to do it for me.  Later that night I was saying HI to Finley and it did actually sound like she said HI back.  Sarah is convinced that this is her first word at only 10 weeks old. ;) Aunt Sarah and Grandma Phyllis swear we have a baby genius on our hands.  :)


                                  I did manage to get a little "hi" on video along with some hiccups.

Wes's softball team, Team Grub's, had their championship playoff games this week so Grandma Phyllis, Finley and I were at the ball park a couple of nights this week.  They won their games on Tuesday night so they were in the championship game on Wednesday.  It was so miserably hot and humid!!  I almost threw in the towel and left but Grandma Phyllis had the magic touch and we made it through both games and an overtime!!  Thank you Grandma Phyllis!!  Team Grub's took home the season trophy once again!!   Patrick Woodruff, dad of baby Miller and Cole, scored the winning run!!  I got to play catch with Cole during much of the first game and he is definitely going to be a great baseball player one day, actually her already is!

Gram and Pop Pop came up this weekend.  They couldn't believe how much Finley had changed.  We cooked out and had the whole family over to swim and eat on Saturday.  Finley was definitely entertained by everyone and slept a full 8 hour night on Sunday night.  She was worn out!
