Garden Wall

These little guys are a couple days old...if they are like the others they will fly away in the next two weeks.  Amazing, right?!

Lunch time.  Same story, different day...haha.  I feel like I do so much cutting up and serving and there is so little eating or drinking unless it is avocado, cheese, ham or yogurt.  Even those are hit and miss depending on the day. 

Dada is almost done working outside!

I've been giving Finn her baby to sleep with during naps, but this was the first night I let her have something in her crib.  I don't think that it really makes a different to her throughout the night though. 

She still wakes up at 10:30, 11:30 and 3:30 like clockwork.   Ugh!

We've been practicing our letters.  This girl is so smart!  She can say "s" and point out all of the decorative S's in the house. 

Grandma watch Finn while we ran to Lowe's to finish up buying some things for outside.  She took this cute picture of her in her toy bin. 

Finn "tried" some of her mac n cheese and broccoli tonight.  That means she put them in her mouth for a second or two, but progress is progress.

More early morning walks to get Mama sweaty before the day even begins!  That humid air plus baby carrying will do it every time.  We talk about everything that we see on our walks and Finn points out all of the things that she knows like red trucks, signs, birds, bunnies, etc.  We have to stop so she can touch dew on flowers and bushes too. 

I finally found a couple of bathing suits that fit for the beach and I am finally starting to get some ab definition back.  I'll take this look and being able to eat ice cream each night. 

So proud of my girl for trying on her sunglasses...we are trying to get the glasses wearing down before the beach!

Oh my, this messy girl!   Today she put ham and yogurt all through her hair during lunch.  :) 

And.....success!  I had her practice wearing her sunglasses while in the swing and after taking them on and off and talking about the bright sun, she is now keeping them on!  Yay!  I love when I say it is bright outside and she puts her hands on her head. 

After her nap, Finley also figured out how to put on her hats all by herself so we had to practice this over and over again sometimes with two hats on at once. 

We purchased stones to make a retaining wall around the garden and get rid of the fence.  It was quite a pain to get them level and matched up correctly, but once Jeff got it done I was able to help glue them together during Finley's nap. 

The final product minus the extra soil we need to pick up. 

In just a couple of days, they have doubled in size!

Dada is certainly a jungle gym these days!  Whether it is before bed or when he is trying to stretch, Finn is all about jumping on top of him.  She really likes to "brush" his hair after her bath which means wack him in the head with the brush.  

Belly buttons have to be pointed out on everyone else all day long.  If you are near Finley be prepared to have your shirt lifted up so she can point it out.  She has her own word that sounds so cute for "belly button." 

A new cup for rinsing hair means a new toy to play with in the tub.  I love watching her explore something completely new.  She turns it over in her hands and really inspects all parts.
