Letters to Finley: 5 months



You are five months old. It is so crazy to me that you have only been here with us for five months, yet I can't remember what life was like without you in it.  You are the best part of my day, everyday.You are so much fun. Seriously. I used to get so emotional about the fact that you were growing, but now I realize how silly that was because watching you grow and learn new things is so amazing. You are such a happy girl.  You wake up with a huge smile on your face. You giggle and laugh and talk, talk, talk and for a baby who doesn't crawl, you can get around! You can scoot in circles to the left and to the right and roll, roll, roll. You love your toys especially toys that make  crinkly sounds (including paper, especially the mail) and Sophie. You loooove Sophie the squeaky giraffe. The weekends are the best.  You don't understand sleeping in yet, so when you wake up at 6:00a.m. we pull you into our bed and plop you in the middle of us.  We both lay there with one eye open watching you play, you roll back and forth from mommy to daddy reaching your little hands out and putting them on our face.  It is the sweetest thing in the world, we kiss your hands and you smile. We do this until all three of us fall back to sleep.  You were sleeping through the night, but this month you have started waking up again. Secretly, I love spending that sweet cuddle time with you. You are such a funny girl and life is so good with you in it.

XOXO,

Momma
