I know this will make the grandmothers fret, but Finley now loves to climb up our recliners. She knows enough to reach down and pull the footrest out enough to be able to use it as a ladder, and then she begins her climb. You'll see a bit of it in this video.
I know -- slow news week.
As promised, more baby gym video from Finley -- this one is her on the trampoline with the green monkey she grabs every week from the baby "high bar" in the classroom. In it, you'll see her working on her jumping, which she does on the ground, too, but with the effort she makes, you'd think she would be jumping 2 feet off the ground; she'll get there, though.
OK, this is a cute video, but also one that shows that while Finley is adorable in pictures, she has some edges we need to work out. Like all toddlers, she seems to think EVERYTHING belongs to her, as you will see her at baby gym. I know the video is pretty small, but pay attention to her face when another little girl dares to try to play on the same piece of equipment (you can hear her yelling, "my slide, my slide"). It is so bad at this point that she yells at the dogs with they lay on the dog beds, because she thinks they are for her, too.
Take a look:
As promised, I am posting some videos individually this week, so I can get new material up without dropping it all at once. This is not the gymnastics video, but rather a cute one last night -- Finely rediscovered her maracas at the bottom of her toy basket. You'll also notice my creative vision be interrupted by Finley's mother -- Speilberg never has to deal with this, I bet.
