1 year old!

Finley turned 1 years old on September 10th. Her Grandma flew into town to share her birthday with her and then we had a big party for her that following weekend. Finley was very excited to see all of her friends and family at her party. Now that she is mobile, she spent the entire weekend running around wearing out her parents! Here are some pictures and a video from her eventful week.

Who needs presents when you have tissue paper?


Finley getting ready to attack her birthday cupcake. We put a little plastic party favor duck on it in honor of her first word....Duck(t).


By the look of her face, I think she enjoyed her first cupcake

Here's some video proof. Ok, so we may be over selling the genius part a bit.

She's Mobile!

The last couple weeks have been pretty exciting as Finley has learned to walk and is now motoring all over the place. Finley celebrated a few of her PEPS friend's birthdays at a big party, where she discovered her love for plastic cars. She is also looking forward to celebrating her 1st birthday with her Grandma when she gets in town next Thursday. It should be a fun exciting time for Fin! Here are some pictures and videos from the past couple weeks.
