Letters to Finley:  1 month old. 

 

We love everything about you.

• You have so many facial expressions.  You smile all the time.  You have the cutest dimples! People love to tell me that your smiles are "from gas", but I prefer to think that you are just a happy girl.
• You are so alert. You didn't sleep the whole first night you were born and even now you prefer to sleep with your eyes half open.  
• When you do sleep we call you The Frog Princess because you squish up into a frog position.  You love sleeping on my chest or in the wrap.  The wrap is perfect for a Frog Princess.
• When you are awake you love to kick your feet and move your hands. Daddy loves to play with you and you respond with smiles and lots of wiggles.
• You love having you diaper changed and prefer to be naked.
• You love taking baths, you love the warm water.
• You have two different cries, one says feed me now please (usually without the please) and the other is a funny high pitch squealy one that says hold me please (usually without the please).
• You are incredibly patient as we learn how to be a mommy and daddy.  You sometimes give me a funny look like "Do you know what you doing mommy? Who left you in charge?" 
• You snore.
• You love to look at the pictures above the couch.  When ever you're fussy we show them to you and your eyes get so big.
• You are perfect.  You are beautiful. You are smart and we love you.
