How you liking that daylight saving time? Man, its like I closed my eyes and, when I opened them again, my baby sister is almost 1 year old. She crawls, babbles, and has enough teeth to rival some of the nice people at the old folks home.
Anyway, I digress. We start this blog post with some nice pictures of Finley.
Finley turned 10 months old in January and really started to settle down. She is sleeping really well, crawling a lot, and babbling a ton.
And, she does a good job posing for the camera.
I got to celebrate a half birthday at school, so Mom made some treats for the class. Can you place these guys? OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Back in February, Dad went to Amsterdam for work. He went walking in this area a bunch. It had a lot of pretty lights. Seems like a lot of them are red though, don't you think?
And, if you look carefully in this picture, some of the buildings on the right have a serious tilt to them. The tour guide said it had to do with sandy soil, but I think the Dutch may just have trouble stacking their blocks.
And, check out the really narrow townhouse in this picture: 1.8 meters wide.
After Dad got back from Amsterdam, we went down to Portland and got some skiing in with Dad, Aunt Liz, Grampa, Auntie NayNay, Uncle Ian, and his friend Nick. We had a good time.
I got tired at lunch, so despite some nice fries, I started falling asleep.
Then, after Portland, Dad headed out to Istanbul for another work trip. He got to see the underground Roman cistern there.
And the Haggai Sophia, an old church built ~500AD that's seen a lot of history, including being used as a mosque. . .
Inside you can see the Christian and Muslim influence.
Some of the old mosaics still exist.
Then, across the way, there is the "Blue Mosque". Very cool.
The colored paintings on the walls and ceiling are beautiful.
While Dad was out traveling, Mom kept working on her cake making skills. This cake was a practice run at the "Wilton" class she took.
Then she made a cake for one of Auntie Naynay's coworkers. Nice fondant decorations here.
And, just a month later, Finley turned 11 months old. She's getting big!
But, her love of the camera hasn't changed :)
And, she's an expert crawler now. She "walked" right off this photo shoot.
