Her new thing is to rest her head on her arms while leaning on tables!  Too stinkin' cute!

Week 1, complete.

My first full week back to school is done.  Only 5 million to go.  Finley was at daycare 2 full days through out the week (Tuesdays & Thursdays) and with Grandma DeeDee Bird the other 3 days.  It went really well! Considering she got a massive cold that involved more snot than I have ever seen and a bad cough onto of drippy eyes.  (That didn't take long to catch something from daycare!)  Even though she was a sick little peanut she made it through the week and so did mom!  I definitely had my moments where I wanted to cry and go home to hang with my girl, but overall I did good!  I am so thankful for my mom and the time and love she can devote to Finley!  I am also so happy with our new daycare, I feel thankful we found it!  The teachers (even from the other rooms) all come out of their rooms to say HI and BYE to her and the director sneaks in to rock her to sleep every day!  So awesome!!! She's a hit! :)

Fun pictures from daycare!

An example of her cute daily sheets they send home! :)

Calm before the storm...

Just minutes before she turned, crawled into our bathroom and swam in Deez & Axl's water bowl!

Happy 1st Birthday everyone!!!

Our original birthing group (whom we see most of on a consistant basis) met today at a park to celebrate our 1st year of life!  It was a beautiful sunny day full of amazing miracle babies!  Much harder to get a group shot now-a-days, though! :)

A very busy Saturday :)

Today we played, went to rummage sales and went out for dinner at 415 with a bunch of mommy & daddy's friends who many share August birthdays!  So Finley celebrated by eating, gorgonzola mac-n-cheese, beet salad, talapia, quinoa, asparagus and a blubbery muffin with marscapone frosting!  It was a feast!!!  (And of course she ate it all!!!!)

Morning playtime :)

Picked up a dino at a rummage sale!

Afternoon fun

After daycare today, Finley took a crappy car nap and then was wide awake!  (Not what I expected after a very stimulating morning) but we decided to make the best of it.  We went over to Cedar's house and played some more with buddies!

Throw some cheerios in the middle of them!!!

Daycare UPDATE...

Daddy dropped Finley off at school around 8:15.  The story goes that he put Finley on the ground, where she sat and stared.  Lots of the other kiddos came over to check her out!  Daddy left, no tears.  I called a bit later to check on her and got a great report.  She had eaten breakfast really well and she was as happy as can be.  I picked her up at 11:30, during the end of lunchtime.  I peeked in the room and saw Finley sitting at a miniature table in a miniature chair with her miniature friends!  She was holding some sandwich in one hand and a spoon in the other!  It was sooooooo cute!  I went in, got a huge smile and sat with her while she finished.  Lord knows, I can't take food away from that girl!  They said she did great all morning.  Played outside, had circle time and ate well!  I couldn't ask for more.  We'll see how tomorrow goes!  It will be for the second half of the day!  Taking a nap on a mat on the floor!  ha!  We'll see...

Gulp, sniff, sniff, tear...

Today is Finley's first day at daycare!!!!  Just a couple hours today, but I am a wreck!!!!  

Fun with the boys!

It's mom's last week (1/2 week) off, so we are having some last minute fun!  Today we met with some of Finn's boyfriends!  Cedar, Raliegh & Owen!

Pooped.
