Finley turned 17 months old on February 10th and she is continuing to mature in to a polite, fun little girl. She continues to wave hello to anyone and everyone, and she has learned to say "Please" and "Thank You" which makes her mom and dad very proud. We want to get Finley into some toddler swim lessons the Mountlake Terrace Pool as she enjoyed the water so much last summer, but with her continued growth spurt, non of her old swim suits fit. Therefore, it was time to find a new one. Needless to say, there were no 1-piece suits at the store in her size, so she ended up with her first bikini. She also got to experience the fun of the Everett Children's Museum with her cousins this past weekend. Here are some photos from her latest adventures. Enjoy!
Striking some "candid" poses
Practicing her poses for next year's Sports Illustrated Cover shoot.
Look up "Determined" in the dictionary and this picture is what you will find.
"Haircut...who needs a haircut?"
Chess Club, here we come!
Getting used to life in the Pilot's seat.
I guess the water play area smock's weren't sized to fit 17 month olds.....
Sliding with Mom
Peek a boo!
Hanging out in the Tube
Rocking out with Dad on the over sized marimba
Trying an art project with Mom. Based on the results of this "project", I believe it was called, "Get a bunch of ink all over your and mom's hands and clothes". Needless to say, it was a HUGE success.
It was a very fun and productive January for the Wichers. We bundled up Finley a few times and took some trips to a few local play areas to get her some exercise. She really enjoys going down slides, and climbing stairs. She still needs Mom and Dad's help on full size stairs, but can handle the kid size ones no problem. Finley likes to wave at everyone she meets and say "Hi". She is a very friendly little girl. She is also learning quite a few new words. She can now mimic animal sounds like moo, quack, and baaaa. Here are some recent photos from our latest adventures. Enjoy!
