Finley's 9 month well check up
Height- 29 inches (90th percentile)
Weight- 20lbs 8 oz (75th percentile)
Head circ- 17.4 inches (50th percentile)
Miss Finley had her 9 month checkup today and it went really well. She's hitting all of her developmental milestones either right on target or ahead of schedule. The ped said she's more like a 15 or 16 month old developmentally. Alright Finners! He also asked if JC or I played college athletics since he said the early walking may be a predictor of athletic prowess. This made JC smile all day long. JC wants both kids to be golf phenoms but I wouldn't mind if Finley were a little tennis prodigy, myself :) Hey, it's my blog, I can daydream if I want to.
The early walking is fun because it totally catches people off guard at the park or wherever and they're always surprised to find out how young she is. However, at home, it's fairly dicey. She's walking but still so wobbly- so we let her go, but she has at least one major digger a day, and she is constantly trying to get up the stairs, so it keeps us on our toes.
Sleepingis going ok, of course after I wrote about it on the blog it went downhill. We are still holding strong and not going in but she generally wakes up one to 3 times a night and can cry for up to an hour. She did sleep all night through a few days ago but that was a singular experience and she hasn't done it since. Additionally, she apparently can't get herself to sleep without crying, which is very trying for me because I just want to go in and scoop her up. But tonight is one week of Ferberization and althought she's not a perfect sleeper yet, she is light years beyond where she was 2 weeks ago, so we're not complaining.
My camera charger should be here soon! Sorry we have no pics for you yet. Also will have a blog post about Gray soon, it has been all Finley all the time recently!

Ferberization nation
So, we are on night 3 of letting Finley scream her lungs out until she finally goes to sleep. I have been dreading this, but I know it needs to happen. And amazingly, it's been going REALLY well (knock on wood knock on wood!) The first night, she cried for 11 minutes, slept until 3 (3! OMG!) and then cried for 25 minutes, went back to sleep and woke up at 6:30. Last night, she cried for 6 minutes, slept until 2:30, cried for 15 minutes, and slept until 6:45. Tonight, she cried for TWO minutes and then went to sleep. HOO-FREAKING-RAY!!!!! We are sooooooooooooooo excited. If only she would keep this up she'll be the BEST BEEBEE EVER!!!! :)
In other news... Finley is walking up a storm and also babbling quite a bit. She says mamamama, dadadada, and depdepdep. Additionally, she has this crazy voice that sounds like one of Marge Simpson's sisters. Carrie dubbed her "slingblade", ha! It's hilarious. I am trying to catch it on video but it's tough. All she wants to do it eat, drink her brother's sippy cup, climb the stairs, eat some more, do whatever G is doing, eat some more. She is chubby and smiley and fabulous. We love love love us some Beebster over here.
As for G money... he is doing great! Speech therapy is going really well, he is starting to rapidly expand his vocabulary and is beginning to be much more intelligible. Just today he said tent, noise, better, and his name! Gray! All for the first time. So awesome. He pointed to me and said, " Mama, Dada, Beebee.... and GRAY! and he pointed to himself and smiled the biggest smile. JC and I were laughing, he was so freaking cute. He can also count to ten- one, doo, tree, four, fahf, sext, oh, (he can't say seven), eight, nahn, eight, den! He loves to play hide and seek, choo choo trains, and dars (cars). He's super sweet and sociable, and has his Grandma Barbara's sweet tooth, for sure. He eats only the following: chicken nuggets, pizza, french fries, strawberries, blueberries, pasta, bananas, and grilled cheese sandwiches. And that is IT. Ugh.
Aside from the last sentence, isn't this post nauseatingly positive?? THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I FINALLY GET SOME SLEEP, MY FRIENDS!!! Everything is different when you feel (semi) rested. The past year has seriously killed me in so many ways, I am just so happy that it's hopefully changing dramatically for the better. I am a lady that needs consistent sleep, so I am thrilled.
I just ordered a new camera battery charger, as soon as it comes I'll post some pics.

9 months, one week
We had to buy a new computer (we are falling apart over here) and I am not sure how to upload video. Is this working? The beebs is walking, one week earlier than her brother (get it girlfriend!) and she is toooooo cute. Pardon the fuzzy image, I took this on our little camera- we still can't find the flip video recorder. Also can't figure out how to edit it down.
