The babes'll go spastic, Hip hop gains a classic

Finn was cool like that in her ladybug flotation device. She be kicking mad waves, like a bearded man takes a shave.
She swim like dat,
She float like dat,
She buoyant like dat,
She out ... she out.

Finn goes North, to go Downeast

Finn headed north this weekend to Bar Harbor. Locals will say she headed down to the harbor or even Downeast. I think it's called so because it's a straight shot to Boston, for trade purposes. Dunno for sure.
Finn had a good time and when she finally settled down on her journeys, it was right to sleep. There was a dicey moment there, when she cried cried and cried. A quick hustle from the other side of town occurred. And she went right down.
She got some pre-1 events logged this weekend. Regrettably, no boat ride. She did turn a huge boat wheel near the Margaret Todd, though. So so dock time and NEAR ship did happen.
Otherwise, a BIG event did happen when she took to the water like a black lab. She was hanging in her ladybug, having a great time 'swimming' and watching older girls jam in and out of the pool. Go Finn!

Make Way for Baby and Ducklings

I don't know if this is what Robert McCloskey meant when he wrote, "Make Way for Ducklings." Either way, it is damn cute. She was hungering for my dinner tonight, and I needed to give her something. So, thought I, why not the string for the duckies. She loves string; she loves duckies; she'd also love my dinner, so better hurry up. And once she had that string in hand, OFF she went.
So cute.

I'd say shoelaces, but she doesn't wear shoes. Yet.

We're in trouble: Finn's all about pulling herself up now. Whereas a week ago she was toying with the idea, she's now looking for a new trick-and some new trouble to find. Here's a good example of her finding herself up, leaning against the sofa, and still not satisfied.

Someone has a new favorite word.

Finn has mastered Da Da at this point. Today she was trying to nail Dora Doo and at least once a Hi spilled out of her mouth.
Not long until she's ordering off menu.

CROQUET IS WICKET PART II

The competition, which was weak according to Finn, had nothing on our team. While I handled the muscle, Finn handled strategy.

CROQUET IS WICKET

The 2010 Croquet Season has begun. You can see that this year I've got a lucky charm: It's Finn. Our first game resulted in victory!
Watch out.

European Distribution

This video is like releasing an American film into the European market. Although the states have already seen the movie, it is the first time this particular region has been exposed to the WHAM! BAM! WHAMMY!
So, for the first time ever, I'm very proud to introduce 'Da Da' from Finn, while she takes her very first steps forward!
Enjoy.

Rolling Rolling Rolling ... Keep those babies rolling

Finn's ready to roll! She's getting around now in her walker like no time in the past. This week we've seen her say new things, actually go through the most advanced stage of crawling, and move FORWARD in her walker.
She's getting along. For sure.

Playball!

When it comes to baseball, Finn is a fan. She's a hometown girl, so she's a Redsox fan by default. Can't go into how that makes her dad feel. But simply: he's cool with that.
Keeping with her New York roots, and tapping that intellectual aspect of the game, when it comes to the National league she roots Mets. Why not? It's better than the crosstown rivals.
