Lil Miss Fin Fin
Wow, it’s been six of the best months of my life and they have absolutely flown by. This little thing has entered our lives and absolutely turned it upside down. She’s amazing and often times I just sit and stare at amazement. Last weekend, we went down to Phoenix to visit granny, grammy, and grandpy. We hung out, swam in the pool, rode the golf cart, and purchased a new auntie all in a four day span. Our new auntie is my mom’s new dog, Sophie. Such a cool little pup. Over a couple glasses of wine, granny (my grandma Pederson) and I were able to convince grammy (my mom) to make a donation at the local Chandler pet store to help ‘save’ the puppy. She obliged and a large contribution later, we were on our way home w/ little Sophie. Finley has pretty much been a dream child in the first six months of her life but the last week has been a bit challenging to say the least. She’s got her first two bottom teeth and she’s been chewing up a storm. You can sense the pressure of these two teeth coming in because she’s a tad “violent” in her actions. Constantly chewing, grabbing, pulling, and forceful with each action. I feel so bad for her and can’t wait for this phase to pass by.
Her six month check up was yesterday. The doc says that typically they start a descent when they are climbing the charts at this age. Not Fin Fin. She’s still in the 90-95 percentile in head, weight, and height. Pushing 20 lbs and outgrowing every outfit, car seat, and contraption that we purchased while awaiting her arrival.
Fav foods? This kid loves to eat! She’s onto her 2nd stage foods and absolutely loves Chicken Noodle. After each bite she lets out a strong, “hmmm”. When she’s finished she starts spitting her food back at me. I love getting Chicken Noodle in my hair, on my clothes, and in my face.
The plane ride….Let’s just say, Finney (as Ashley likes to call her), was a dream child on the way down to Phoenix. Grandpy held her and she laid there fast asleep for the two hour ride. I enjoyed a vodka soda, while grandpy and grammy enjoyed a fresh cold beer. They way home, was a bit of a different situation. It was just Finley and I and the remaining 155 passengers who were lucky enough to witness a complete meltdown by my six month old who was irritable, teething, and not in the mood to be confined for 3 hours on a flight that was at maximum capacity. I was THAT girl. My child reached for the disgusting, germ-ridden safety cards in the back of the seat the entire trip. The thought of her touching them completely freaked me out. The thought of her putting them in her mouth made me want to crawl under the seat. Taking them away from her made her scream REAL LOUD. Therefore, my child sat there for about 20 minutes perfectly content to have the cards IN HER MOUTH. YUCK….When she was done she proceeded to tear every page out of the skymall catalog and then put each page inside her mouth! Upon completion, she took a 40 minute cat nap that I prayed to the airplane Gods would NEVER end. She awoke feistier than ever….screaming bloody murder until she had another bottle. Finally, the Captain came over the loud speaker and announced that our plane would be landing 25 mins AHEAD of SCHEDULE. Have you ever heard of such a thing??? SEE…Airplane Gods really do exist! We landed, and my child returned to her dream self. Smiling, laughing, happy and calm. Such a relief to have her back.
