Uncle Marty and Aunt Karrie came up a few weeks ago and we all loved seeing them. Wes hooked up a tv under the new covered deck area and we had a cookout with Marty, Karrie, the Stoner's, Cochran's, and our neighbors. We had a great time other than our loss to Alabama!! Wes, Sarah, The Ruddick's and I met up with some friends from work the following Friday. We enjoyed some time down at Bikes Blues and BBQ. Grandma Phyllis and Gary kept Finley. This was our first time out without her other than working at the home games. We had a great time and special thanks to Grandma Phyllis and Gary for keeping her, and playing chauffeur that night!! This past Saturday the Cochran's and Gary came over and the outcome of that game against Texas A&M was considerably better!!
Finley had her first belly laugh last week. We were talking and tickling her and she chuckled so big. It was adorable. She is so close to rolling over. She more the less has her entire body rolled over but just can't get that one arm out from under her. She gets mad at that uncooperative arm and begins to bite at it in anger.

| That uncooperative arm!! |
We recently tried out her jump-a-roo toy which she is still a little unsure of. Her feet don't quite touch the floor and her head is still a little too wobbly for it but I think she likes the change of scenery. Wes put a box under her feet so that she could touch. He couldn't stand that she was just kind of hanging there in it.
Her daddy has started a bad habit with her and I can't stand to have to be the one to break her of it. So she still takes at least one nap a day in her swing. The bad habit is that when we get her all cozy in the swing and put her paci in she reaches out wanting to hold our hand until she falls asleep. This all started with her daddy lying her in her bed each night and rubbing her tummy until she fell asleep. She started reaching to rub his hand and the rest is history. So now I find myself not being able to deny giving her my finger/hand when she is looking so sweet and reaching out for me. She is going to be soooo spoiled!! If she just weren't so durn sweet!!
Finley also had her 4 month check up and shots this week. I didn't cry this time but it still hurts me so bad to see her as she lets out that initial scream!! Again, not surprised that she is in the 97% in height at 26" long and is average weight at 13lbs 11oz. I hate leaving her on the day of her shots because I know they make her a little cranky for the remainder of the day, but her daddy, Grandma Phyllis and Aunt Sarah took such great care of her the rest of the day. Not sure if they just lied to make me feel ok but they claim that she was an angel.
Each day it seems that she is discovering something new. She laughs at herself in the mirror now. She reaches for my hair when it is down. She likes touching our faces and we point out nose, eyes, and mouth. She loves when we have patterned clothes on that she can touch and feel. She makes a little roaring lion sound then she laughs and mimics us when we growl back at her. We are so blessed to have such a sweet little girl! Love her to pieces.
The search for the perfect Halloween costume is ahead of us now!!!
