Walking!!!

The day has finally come that Finley is walking.  She got a little bit of a late start but when she decided that she was going to walk, she stood up and walked, and walked, and walked.  In honor of her finally walking I have been playing dress up with her with all of the dresses in her closet.  Little girls look so cute when they toddle around in their too long or too big dresses and tights.

We are packing up today for our Thanksgiving journey to Park City.   It is hard to imagine that just one year ago we had a tiny baby, we lived in NYC and it was raining so hard on the two hour trip to the airport that we missed our flight.  Tomorrow morning we will wake up, feed Finley some cheerios and wear our summer time clothes and drive ourselves to the airport.  Oh what a difference a year makes!

Finley is getting really good with her sounds and associating them with objects.  She knows Dada and Mama which is precious.  She is also quite good at parroting any sound that I give her.  Today we worked on the M sound and the G sound.  She is going to see a few special people on Wednesday and we want to make sure she knows their names.  She is so cute with Pa-Pa, it might be my favorite thing that she says.  We are working on Gigi for her Grandma Gail and M for Maggie.  She is also going to see her Grandma Jane and she is especially talented at saying NaNa.

Finley loves making friends wherever she goes.  I told Todd that she is going to LOVE the airplane tomorrow as there will be so many people to look at her smile.  She will also get to wave hello and goodbye to everyone that she sees.  She is also going to love eating her first Thanksgiving meal.  I anticipate that stuffing will be her favorite and if she is good we may have to give her a taste of pumpkin pie.

I am so MAD but isn't my dress cute?

Look at me walk!

All Done.  She is getting really good with her sign language.
