"More!"

Finley had a very busy night Saturday when Auntie Megan and Uncle Phil came to play games. She wouldn't go to bed, afraid she'd miss something, so she actually fell asleep sitting up. I caught her just as she tumbled on her face in the blankets. After her late night Saturday, Finley amazed us all on Sunday by performing her first sign language - at the appropriate time! After Grandma Julie made her giggle over and over by tapping her on the butt with a pillow, she asked Finley if she wanted her to do it some more. Finley put her fingers together and made the "more" sign. Then, later that night at Red Lobster, we asked her if she wanted more food and she did the "more" sign again! She's a genius. The daycare ladies were very proud when I told them Monday morning. Finley also has been having fun with the birthday presents that have continued rolling in from all of her aunties. She got her package from Auntie Annie and Uncle Luke from Korea and loves her new puppet. Mommy loves her cute little "costumes" and prominently displayed them in Finley's bedroom. She's waiting for a day when Finley is in a really good mood to try them on her and take some cute pictures. The cds from Auntie Hannah are awesome and Finners laughs and laughs when mommy dances to the Dave Matthews/Blue Man Group tune. She also LOVES her baseball cap from "Auntie" Jessica - she even wears it with her jammies! And, the leopard shoes were a huge hit at daycare, along with all her cute new clothes.
