Christmas Mischief

As Mommy has been wrapping presents and hanging Christmas lights, Finley has been doing her part, too! She is so funny when I get the camera out. She closes her eyes like it's painful to look at the flash before it even goes off (which is what is happening in the picture where she's eating the magazine!). I have to trick her by pushing the button halfway so the flash lights up but doesn't blink until she opens her eyes again. Then, I let it rip and capture that gorgeous smile. She even waved for me - a trick she learned at daycare. She's finally back on her normal schedule after her week of being spoiled at Grandma and Grandpa's...just in time for Grandma and Grandpa Bernhardt to come home from Mexico to spoil her some more and get her off track again! We can't wait to show them how she can take steps all by herself! She's still not completely confident in her walking abilities, but she gets better every day and I know it's coming soon...I'm sure we'll really be in for it, then!
