Greetings, groundhogs. I come in peace.

We went to the zoo over the weekend, and I actually stayed awake the whole time. We saw a bunch of animals being fed, which was very cool, and I very much enjoyed this groundhog exhibit.

Finley Bear

I thought I'd model one of my Christmas gifts for you all - it comes from some sort of magical place called the Bass Pro Shop. I like it 'cause it's fuzzy.

Holiday elevation change

Hi, everyone! Recovering from an excellent Christmas with Grandma, Grandpa and the rest of the Tulsa clan. Sorry I haven't posted for a while, but things just got so busy - there really is a lot for a baby to do as she approaches her first birthday. Crawling, screaming, explaining my view on the world to everyone (although they don't seem to understand what I'm saying), etc. - and I learned a new skill in OK - climbing up the stairs (apologies for the sideways-ness). Take a look see!

Comedy, daddy style

So mom was gone last weekend, and I was left alone with dad for two whole days. We decided to send this picture message to mom:

She nearly bolted for the airport to come home as soon as she saw it. But of course, I can't eat McNuggets - I have only 2 teeth. Thank goodness, 'cause they are NASTY. But it makes for good visual humor. I bet this will be the first of many good jokes on mommy!

Fincess

I went to a very nice birthday party for a now 2-year old friend today - a Mexican theme, with mariachis, tacos, balloon animals and face painting. Very fun. Here I am taking a breather from all the excitement. They had all kinds of cool stuff to wear and play with, as you can see.

I like to swing

We stopped by the park this afternoon as a reward for doing errands, and I was lucky enough to spend a little time on the swings. I just discovered that I really like them!
