The Adventures of Fin Fin

Little Miss Finley has been on the move the past few weeks. She's made a couple trips to the local Mountlake Terrace Pool, she made it up to visit her cousins in Stanwood and got a chance to take a dip in a local lake there, and she also tested out the wading pool and Greenlake. She also had a nice visit down to Vancouver to visit her Grandpa and Grandma Wichers. Down there she got to hit the local Saturday Market and make a trip to the Washington Park Zoo! She's been doing all this while her two front teeth are starting to grow in. Finley has been a trooper and is still a happy happy little girl. Here are some photos and videos of her adventures. Enjoy!

10 months

Finley turned 10 months old on Friday and celebrated at a barbecue with some friends. Saturday she got to help one of her PEPS friends celebrate her 1 year birthday. At the party she showed us that she knows how to climb stairs all by herself and that she likes birthday cake. Here are some great pictures and videos from the past week. Enjoy!

"Hmmm, stairs....... I bet I can climb these"


"See Mom and Dad....no problem"


I told everyone Finley would be driving soon..I just didn't expect her to tear the windshield off of her first car.

4th of July

The Wichers' had a great Fourth of July and Finley enjoyed seeing her first fireworks. She wasn't bothered by the noise at all and she liked all the fancy colors and patterns. We spent the day with friends at an all-day BBQ followed by fireworks. Fin did great and enjoyed playing in the sun and in her new little wading pool. She tried staying up for the fireworks Finale, but was just too tired, so we ended up heading out before the big BOOM at the end of the night. She also got to spend some time with her PEPS friends at the park on Friday. She was a very busy girl and was very exhausted by the end of the weekend. Didn't get many good photos from the BBQ, but here are some good pics and videos from the week leading up. Enjoy!

"To swing...or not to swing? That is the question"


Some video of Finley in the swing


A pretty cute video of Finley in the bathtub eating her rubber duckies and showing us what a great singer she is. She thinks she sounds like Celine Dion, I think she sounds more like Shirley Temple.
