We made the l-o-n-g trip back to Asheboro this week. We have been so excited to see our family for Christmas, but slightly dreading the plane rides and jet lag for Finley. Considering what an active baby Finley is, he did really well on the planes (but that doesn't mean it was fun). We actually had a couple of people compliment us on his behavior!
The jet lag has been difficult at night. Finley wakes up in the middle of the night and thinks it's time to play, so Nate and I have to stay up with him. He sure does take good naps during the day, though! It seems to have messed up his appetite, as well. He has been very anti-baby food, and only interested in our food (little bits of bread, cheese, broccoli, etc.). That could be jet lag or Finley outgrowing being spoon fed, but I just figure it's a bit early for him to completely give up spoon feeding.
We have a few photos from Asheboro to get things started. We probably won't post any more Asheboro or Michigan photos until we get back to Hong Kong, because we're leaving for MI tomorrow.

Hmm...this looks like a very nice bow...
I think I'll eat it!

Okay, Brett. You're cute, too.
