Finger Painting

Today, September 28, 2006, we fingerpainted with Fiona for the first time. The pictures speak for themselves!

Fiona's First Masterpiece!

Eating at the Table

Fiona likes to keep her left foot on the table while she eats.

This is Fiona's Stevie Wonder impression. She likes to look at the ceiling when she is going after her food.

Cute Fiona

Day at the Park

These are pictures taken on September 17, 2006 when we took Fiona on her first visit to a park. She had a great time until we put her on the grass, then the fun was all over. The grass made her cry.

Birthday & Christmas Plans

Dear Friends & Family; Family & Friends, Fiona’s first birthday is coming up quickly. As of yet, we haven’t finalized the party plans. If you’re planning on being in Las Vegas or Denver area come Oct. 14th, please let us know so that we may include you. If you’d like to set up a time for a Fiona, Birthday, web chat, please contact me. You don’t need a web cam, but you will need the latest version of Microsoft Instant Messenger installed, updated & running. You will also want to know your screen name, password and be familiar with the software. Don’t wait until the last minuet, as Fiona’s schedule is likely to be booked; we can only have one web session at a time! We have decided to have Christmas at our house this year. Whether in Vegas or Colorado, everyone is invited to attend and everyone is welcome at our house! Fiona has a photo album and enjoys looking at pictures of family and pictures of dogs we’ve found in the junk mail. Feel free to send her any photos of yourselves, so that she is better able to put faces with names and the voices she hears over the phone. Feel free to include dog pictures, as she loves to look at them and pant. It is unnecessary to send gifts for Fiona’s birthday or Christmas, so please don’t feel obligated to do so. Phone calls are a special treat for Fiona, and she would love to hear from you. If you’d like to send her a gift, please note that she already has a coat and Christmas dress for the season, as well as, a 1st birthday party hat. She has no 12 mo or 18 mo toys. If we stay in Vegas, heavy winter items and clothing will only get used Dec. – Feb. If we move to Colorado, then they will get used much more often. So many of you were thoughtful and generous in sending Fiona cute outfits, and I felt so bad that she wasn’t able to wear them! By the time she grew into the winter clothes, summer had arrived! Of course, then she hit a big growth spurt and outgrew the summer ensembles! Crazy little monkey girl! Speaking of monkey girl, I am looking for a monkey costume in the $20 range for Halloween. I don’t get out of the house much; so if any of you sees one, let me know where! Thank you very much for your assistance:)
