Finley had a long, exhausting day of opening christmas gifts ... actually we all did. Casey and Ally were up at 4 a.m. That's right. We made a deal with the kids that when they woke up they could turn the hall light on so we would know they were awake but they were not to come upstairs. It worked pretty well. Finley woke up shortly after 4 a.m. too and she did not want to go back to sleep. The anticipation was killing her too I guess. So finally at 4:45 we just decided to go for it. After we had our christmas we went to my parents and then to Brandon's moms for the evening. It was a full day of opening gifts and few naps. Finley was exhausted by the end of the day at my moms and Oliver was there to make sure no one bothered her. It was a great Christmas!
Finley is 9 months old today. I can't believe it. She had her 9 month appt. today and Dr. Lass said she is doing fabulous! She weighed 19lbs. 15 oz. and was 27.5 inches long. She was in the 75th percentile across the board. She is pulling herself up on everything. I had a pot on the kitchen floor the other day for her to play with and it was upside down and she managed to pull herself up to standing with that. We're not pushing her to walk anytime soon, or let's be real, at all but it's bound to happen sometime. Brandon is just convinced that the longer she crawls the more coordinated she'll be. I was, by far, no athlete so unless she gets some athletic ability from her dad then coordination really won't be that much of an issue anyway. Not to mention it's hard enough to keep up with her when she's crawling. I can't imagine when she's walking.
I got Santa hats for the kids to wear this year at Christmas and they loved them. Duh! They decided to cheese it up for the camera.
