Mommy's little monsters

I'm finally getting the chance to blog...John and I took the girls to Boo at the Zoo for the opening weekend a week or so ago. I dressed the girls as monsters, and they looked so cute! Finley has a really cute shirt and pants to match but it was just too hot to wear. (Thanks, Julie, for finding the purple beanie hats. They look so much cuter than the white ones I bought!)



Addi enjoyed getting pictures with Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs.
We rode the train and the carousel. Addison had a super time, but John and I were a little disappointed this year. There didn't seem to be as many games for the little kids to play. Everything cost $3.50 per person, and there were about 6 or 7 extra things you could do. We weren't about to pay $18 each for us to get in and get a wrist band. We were also disappointed with the candy they gave out (jaw breakers, large lemon heads, sour hard candy, fire balls, etc.). When they saw Addi, some gave her those candies as opposed to Smarties or Laffy Taffy. I wouldn't even let an 8 year old eat those candies! Scary!
It is so much fun watching my girls play together! Finley just loves Addi. She smiles as soon as she sees her. I think the feeling is mutual! Addi loves to wake up and kiss her baby sister.
Addi holding "Addi"- John's pride and joy snake! Though I'm not the snake lover that John is, I do think this snake is beautiful!
Finley's first palm tree!
Finley stats at 4 months old:
75% in length
50% in weight
60% head circumference
She's growing and developing very well! She now reaches for objects and takes them directly to her mouth. She holds her head up well and looks around when on her tummy. She laughs! She drools like crazy and even has teeth buds that are visible through her gums. Finley is just the sweetest, laid-back baby, and we love her dearly!
