FINLEY'S LIKES AND DISLIKES

Looks like Grandma dressed Finley today! 


So what does our Finny like and dislike these days...

LIKES: Sardine, the book about Sardine, her Andy Warhol art book, touch and feel books, orange purees, playing peek-a-boo when she is the one peeking and the booing, the green glittery shamrocks Grandma put on the wall, baths with her mommy, her nightlight that changes colors, doing the hokey pokey with her arms when changing shirts/onesies/sleepers, oatmeal, mommy's coffee mug, her box of balls, trying to stand, milk, music...music...and more music (right now she's digging Peter, Paul, & Mary), looking at digital alarm clocks, fans, out-the-window, and her face in mirrors, Snuffleupagus, her bunny that has wheels, Cake, grandma and pap-pap, trying to say words that start with the letter B, smiling and laughing...oh the list goes on and one..

DISLIKES: Green purees, sweet purees, being alone, lying on her stomach, being tired, being hungry, not being able to drink mommy's coffee, any clothing with snaps, the ball nose sucker thingy, books with lots of words and not enough pictures, not being able to hold all the toys and all the books at one time, seeing anyone sad...it is actually hard to think of a lot of dislikes because Finley loves living life day-by-day. She takes it as it comes. In other words, she is mommy's little angel, rock star.

THE BOX THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

UPDATE: Finley still loves her box of balls, even when she is under the weather (as she unfortunately is in the first picture). Sometimes "non-balls" find their way into the box. Readers, can you spot the baby piano or the yellow ring?

THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH


The shirt says it all...

MOMMY, MOMMY, MOMA

Finley's favorite book is a "touch and feel" art book, which includes such works as Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe, "Marilyn Diptch" (1962), with "touch and feel" eyelashes and Robin Indiana's Love abstract composition, with a sparkling felt "O," both of which have been touched hundreds of times by baby Finley. Here she is on a field trip to Andy Warhol museum with her grandma and pap-pap and, of course, her art book! Here's to hoping Finley did not get her mommy's artistic genes!

MY HEART BELONGS TO YOU, BABY FINLEY


Finley would like to say Happy Valentine's Day to all of her devoted readers. Finley, you are my love, my love, my love.

THANK YOU, STEPH


Last week, I was without a babysitter, and I asked Steph if she could help out. Within seconds Steph said absolutely, and she and her Finny McButt (Steph has so many great nicknames for Finley) spent the day together. From what I understand, there was a lot of cuddling.  Thank you, Steph. Finley and I are lucky to have you.


Fear not, within days, Steph returned for a sleep over. There only thing better than getting up at 
6:00 am on a Saturday morning is getting up at 6:00 am on a Saturday morning with Steph and Finny.

A BABY AND HER BOX


Readers, Finley has a new favorite...her box! Round things go into the box such as one of the twelve beach balls mommy bought her, BPA friendly plastic balls, baby-sized red dodge ball, a pink octopus, and Finley's round head!
