On the move

Gram and Pop Pop came to visit last weekend.  We had a great time celebrating Sarah and mom's birthdays, with the fun ranging from a night out of karaoke, Finley's first ever Arkansas baseball game,  to a laid back Sunday afternoon family cookout.  It was a very nice weekend!

Finley's first baseball game!!

Finley dressed in Gram's favorite color! 

Cookout at Justin and Russlyn's house.

All smiles with these girls and...... some crazy baby hair!

Well Pop Pop pegged it.  He said that Finley would be crawling before the week was up, and she did.  We caught a fairly decent attempt on video, as she crawled toward a favorite toy.  (I'll insert video soon) She is spotting the smallest and sometimes most dangerous things on the floor, and it is then her mission to get to that object and put it in her mouth.  Wes had to drop her baby bed down because she is starting to pull up in her bed as well.  A lot of childproofing is in store for mom and dad!!

Picture before we dropped the bed.  You can see what she was thinking!! 

Up to no good.

"Helping" Grandma Phyllis at the office.

She is also more mobile than ever in her walker.  She zooms around the kitchen and living room with specific destinations in mind, looking specifically for remote controls, cell phones, and anything else she isn't suppose to play with!!  Another funny, yet painful thing that she does, is when she has had enough of the walker she will knock the walker against our shins or ankles until we get her out.  She definitely has her own way of communicating with us.

Caught this smirk while cruising around in her walker.

Wes got home from work the other night, and when he walked through the door Finley said, just as clear as day, "hi da da"!  Her Aunt Sarah claims that she is also attempting to say Hi Ella "hi eyya" and puppy dog "puddy dog".  Grandma Phyllis believes that she is saying Thank You as well.  We just have one smart girl on our hands.  ;) Or a lot of proud family!
