Best buddies

These little girls are best buddies. Harper tells people Finley is "her baby" and if someone gets too close to her she defensively declares "no that's MY sister". She doesn't even get upset when Finley grabs or pulls her hair! We love this sister relationship- we'll see how it develops as Finley becomes more mobile and starts to "share" toys!

Watch Me Grow

It is hard for me to believe, but our little Finley has been with us for half a year already! Our pint sized princess is 6 months old!









Update:
• She is interacting all the time now- she has a adorable smile and makes lots of coo and gurgle sounds
• She is grabbing ahold of everything and putting anything she can into her mouth
• Saying she loves her sister is an understatement. She is enthralled with Harper and can often be heard giggling uncontrollably at something she does.
• She is eating about 35%breastmilk/ 65% formula now
• She started solid foods this weekend- well, if you consider puréed prunes solid! She actually seemed to like them quite a bit.
• She rolls both ways now, but still seems to reserve back to tummy rolls for her crib and tummy to back rolls for ANY time we attempt tummy time!
• She is still our pint size princess. At her 6 month appointment she weighed 13 lbs 1oz (5th percentile) and was 24 and 3/4 inches (17th percentile).

Disney 2014

We met my parents at Disney World in January 2014 for a few races and a fun vacation.




Early morning traveler
Medical emergency on board caused our flight to land temporarily in Indianapolis. Lots of time to kill, the girls did better with it than mommy!








Finally arrived. Off to Magic Kingdom to meet Mickey and have dinner with Pooh and Friends.




Harper ran the 100 meter kids race. She had a blast and was so proud! (Yes, she ran in a Cinderella dress).
































Adam, DziaDziu and I ran the half marathon the next day. (Bams was in charge of the girls at the hotel- and we were back to her by 10).




More Disney fun:










Yep, Finley was there too!
















Dumbo (and a similar ride at Animal Kingdom) was a favorite.












Headed to a special breakfast with daddy (and princesses) in Cinderella's castle.








Harper loved meeting characters. She was timid at first, but getting autographs warmed her up.




































































A few family shots to commemorate the trip.












The girls loved their ears (well, at least Harper did!)




















It was a great trip and we are already thinking about when we can go back!
