Finley is really growing up fast! She is getting another tooth on the top, so now she has 6. She's walking full force now and initiates games like peek-a-boo. Her favorite song is "Animal Fair" - it always makes her giggle and tap whatever she happens to be next to. Her favorite book right now seems to be Sandra Boynton's "Snuggle Puppy"- although she really likes all of Boynton's books. She says "Da da" when Cam comes into the room and she reaches for or points at him when she sees him. She says "Ma ma Moooommmm", but not really when she sees me. She always gets excited when she hears the door open or close and points at either Dale or Dad when they come up to the top of the stairs. Dale is pretty sure she says "Dale" when she sees him. They are pretty fond of one another. She is easily entertained by simple things like straws, empty plastic babyfood containers, bottle liners, and empty pop or water bottles. She still doesn't sleep through the night. Mom and Dad have really gotten better at ignoring her by now, although last night she had a little party in her room at about 2am. She's getting more hair, but everyone who sees her still thinks she's a boy - even when she is decked head to toe in pink. She's really looking forward to her first Christmas!
