Winter Pics

Overlooking the Boise foothills near our house in Columbia Village. We didn't have a party for Addie's first birthday party. We did have a cake. She'll never remember anyway. 'Til she reads this blog years from now. :) Addie and Lydia playing. The Finkbeiner's moved to Washington State this summer.

Addie's Other Tricks

"Clap your hands... Clap your hands...."

Addie finally learned to clap her hands last night. All we have to do is chant "Clap your hands. Clap your hands. " Ad nauseam. Imagine how we look: Two parents, looking and sounding like idiots, and doing everything just to get their little baby to clap her hands.

Tonight, Addie was doing her nightly BANG THE KEYBOAD ritual (yes, she's over her BANG HER HEAD ON THE WALL phase). When we felt that our laptop is on the verge of breaking down, we finally put on our disciplinarian cap and put an end to the madness. All hell broke loose. Fists flying, feet kicking, fake tears flowing -- our baby was really putting on a show of defiance. We didn't know what to do except to say the magic words: "Clap your hands. Clap your hands." She stopped. And clapped her hands.

Two Pictures With Muning

The one on the left was taken last June. The other one was last October. More hair, a little bit less chubby but getting cuter. :)
Our baby is growing!

Oregon Coast

Our baby's first trip to the coast. Sorry Addie. Your parents can't afford the plane tickets to the Philippines. Be comforted with the fact that on the other side of this body of water is our homeland.

Addie's First Youtube video

Pictures lang. Atsaka hindi po siya nagpapasosyal. Beethoven lang kasi nasa Sample Music ko eh. Wala pa kong music sa laptop.
