Finley is TWO Years Old!

Weight:  23 lbs

Height:  32 inches tall!

Teeth: 16, just waiting on the two year molars now!

I love to: 

• Read, read, read - still at the top of my list! 
• I love to play with bubbles outside.  I ask multiple times a day to go outside and blow bubbles.  
• Elmo- I sleep with Elmo each night.  Mama is planning an Elmo birthday party for me:) 
• Play outside and going for walks.  I especially like playing with bubbles! 
• I love to "run, run" with Daddy.  He holds my hands and runs with me all over the house and swings me over top of things:)  
• I love to chase Marley all over the house with my popping toy and scream. I also like to "tickle" Jack when he is lying down.  
• I love to play dress up with any of Mommy and Daddy's clothes and shoes.  I often come out of the bedroom with their shoes, shorts, hats, etc. on.  
• Make recipes!  I love to make recipes with Mommy.  
• Play-Doh -  I really like to make "spaghetti" or "worms"  
• Climbing up my foam gym pieces and jumping off into Mommy or Daddy's arms.  
• Play hide and seek!  

I can: 

• Run and jump!   I practice "jumping" off of my foam pieces in the living room and look like a fledgling. ha! 
• Play pretend - I have such an imagination all of a sudden!  There was an "owl" outside my room and we had to sneak up on it with all of our other stuffed animals. When I wake up from my nap I line up all of my stuffed animals and babies in my crib and talk to them and get them to play with each other.  
• Identify so many different types of birds from the books at YaYa's house.  I can even mimic some of their songs and talk to them when we are outside.  The Blue Jay is my favorite to talk to! 
• Sing songs - Mommy caught me singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Start all by myself in the laundry room!
• Tell stories about things that happened during the day
• Have an amazing memory and match pictures in books to the same pictures on the front or back of the book.  
• Guess what words say without anyone asking - I spelled out "Ninja" on the blender and then underlined it with my finger and said "shake".  haha!  What a good guess:)
