Learning, learning, learning....

Finley amazes me every minute of every day!  The amount of "stuff" she recognizes, repeats and does is incredible.  The last few weeks there has been such a HUGE amount of growing!  She understands so much, it seems.  Like how to blow kisses when asked, wave hello & goodbye, clap when asked and when she hears clapping.  Knows how to say dog, dada, mama, duck, night-night... but understands so many more words that we use.  She is a very fast crawler, also.  She gets herself to where she wants to go, in lightning speed!  Hard for mama and dada to get anything done!  She likes to play in the dog & cat food/water dishes, try to get everything she isn't supposed to, and KNOWS when she is doing something she shouldn't!  Little shit.  :)  She points at things all the time and is SO, SO curious!  She screams like a crazy woman, laughs all the time and has a smile on that cute face of hers constantly.  She started pulling herself up more and more, but isn't great on her feet quite yet... I figure she will be late to walk as she was late with everything else!  I can wait.  :)  She is a food garbage disposable eating everything!  I just tried whole milk (by itself, no mixing with formula) and she liked it!   Big surprise.  She LOVES being outside & also in the water.  In fact, if you even THINK about opening the door to let Axl in or out while you are holding her... watch out!  She will scream at you to go out!  She is a social butterfly enjoying the company of most everyone, big and small, human or animal!  She really is an amazing little girl!  This age is so exciting and I am enjoying having all this time with her!  (I start school on Aug. 20.  Boo.)  Tomorrow is her 1 year dr. appt. so I will post some stats tomorrow!  I must go now.  This update has taken me very, very long to write as my little tornado has been terrorizing the cat and the dog, eating crumbs off the floor, trying to play in the dog's water bowl and trying to push out a turd.  hahaha
