I will spare a whole year catch up of photos since those of you who might actually look at this blog have probably seen my pictures on FB or IG. But I will start with May 16, 2013 for the arrival of
Vera Faye Wright:
6lbs 14oz 19in born @ 11:03am
Daddy is smitten by her...we all are. We had a gift for Fin when he came to meet Vera. She gave him a truck and sucker and he was so happy!
Grandpa Gary missed her arrival by 3 hours :/ we were sad he had to leave, but Grandma was able to come back from a CME in Florida to meet her! We were so so happy!!!
Finley absolutely loves his little sister whom he calls "Bera." He is always checking on her and telling her to be happy and saying "see I love you Bera. Be happy. I am right here." It is the sweetest :)
To keep Finley from climbing around the hospital equipment and rolling on the nasty floor, we plugged him into these headphones to watch some Netflix.
Vera has had no problems with eating or gaining weight. Tomorrow is her 2 month check up and I am sure she is about 12lbs now! See this double chin!?!
Vera's real name is Verd. Thanks to Vanderbilt Hospital keying error...her birth certificate and SSN both read Verd Faye Wright. I now have a mess to deal with correcting it and insurance billing errors. It isn't fun...but this cute face is worth it.
I have a lot of fun playing dress up :D
Finley loves to sing to her "You Are My Sunshine."
She is just a little peanut when she sleeps! At night she sleeps 4 hour stretches...I got lucky the other night though! She slept from 8pm to 3:30am!
Mr. Finley has grown up so much! He is quite the character...some things he loves right now:
1. Dancing
2. Wrestling with Luke
3. Trucks
4. Popcorn
5. Fish (Preferable the Catfish at the aquatic center)
6. Water (pools, lakes, rain, etc)
7. Fireflies
8. Pancakes
9. Gum
10. Getting Mail
July 3,2013 Finley decided he was ready to be potty trained... at least for #1. He has done fantastic with peeing in the toilet...but going #2 is a different story. When he needs to go #2 he runs and quickly locks himself in his room and does his business in his underwear. This does not make me the happiest camper....But it is hard to be mad when he is so funny about it. Like last night...Luke and I were watching a show and we hear his bedroom door close. We both jump up and run as quick as we can, but of course he locked it. We were yelling, bribing, telling him how happy we would be if he would go in the bathroom- but we were getting the silent treatment. Finally he opens the door and holds up his hands and furros his brows and says "I am just trying to sleep...See I am just sleeping." As the room smells like...well, smells like what we predicted he was doing in there. I tell him to get into the bathroom so he waddles across the hall as he is saying, "See, that's how you do it." Are you kidding me? Where does he get these things??? So we made a trip to walmart and he picked out a toilet seat and a Push-Up sucker. He will be rewarded with the sucker if he goes on the toilet from now on...we will just have to see.....and pray.
Well, that's it for today.
