Finley's trip to Maui (part 1)

The Wichers' packed up Finley and joined the Fearing's and the Carter's on a family trip to Maui. This was Finley's second plane ride, but it was much longer then the first (5.5 hours total). She did great on the plane and seemed to instantly enjoy the warm weather Maui had to offer. Finley is adjusting to the 3 hour time change pretty well and napping a fair amount. She's liking playing in the water more today then yesterday and has REALLY enjoyed learning to splash in it. Here are some photos from the trip so far:


Finley getting her "tools" ready for the pool


"Some day soon I will be standing too!"


Fin motoring around the pool with Mom in her inflatable boat.


I looked up "exhausted" in the dictionary and this picture was taking the place of a definition.


Mom and Finley heading to he pool.


Dad and his cute little..."boy". 4 or 5 people called Fin a boy while she was dressed in her blue surfer outfit. Maybe we should have stuck with pink?


Finley making friends with the locals.


Smilin' with Mom.


Finley rocking her cousin Lily's sunglasses.


Hanging out among the palm trees. (This looks like a green screen photo, but it was me holding Finley in the air under the palm trees near the pool while Mom snapped the photo.)

Finley Portraits

We received a gift card to take Finley to Picture People for some professional portraits this past Christmas, and we finally got around to using it this weekend. Fin was great during the entire shoot and they got some pretty cute photos of her. I was able to download the test shots from their website, but they have a watermark on them, so you won't be able to print them. I figured I would post them here to share anyway. Enjoy!

Happy Easter

Here are some Easter shots on Finley. She had a family brunch with Melissa's side of the family, got to meet the Easter Bunny, then came home and "found" her Easter Basket. One of her presents was as mini jersey of NBA player Michael Finley. She looks pretty good in it. WNBA, here we come!!


Finley meeting the Easter Bunny with her cousins Aidan and Lily. Evidently the Easter Bunny makes public appearances in bars...who knew.

Finley's trip to Vancouver, USA

We took a trip down to Vancouver, WA for a wedding this week and Finley got to meet a bunch of Chad's high school buddies and hang out with Chad's family. His nephews Tyler and Cody were in Portland for an FBLA conference, so they got to see her as well. It was a great trip and Finley was an angel! Here are some photos:

Ugh oh, looks like Grandpa is quickly losing the height battle with his grandsons.

7 months!

Finley turns 7 months old on the 10th of April and she is getting more and more alert and active as the days go by. She's already babbling and has become very found of keys and remotes! She just loves to grab them and shove them in her mouth....don't we all! She has even been saying Dah Dah Dah. I'm pretty sure she has no idea that is my name, but it's still fun to hear. Here are some photos from the past week showing her playing in the bath and some shots from our walk along the Edmond's waterfront. Enjoy!


Here Finley is practicing her "surprised" face. She's really got it down.


Here Finley is enjoying her big girl bath without her old plastic bathing seat.
