12 weeks

Finley is 12 weeks old & doing absolutely wonderful! She is such a happy baby & more fun every day. She is interacting more with us & smiles ALLLLL the time! She is so funny when she gets excited because her little arms & legs are everywhere! (I have to learn how to put videos on here...that needs to be my next project.) She is sleeping about 6 hours straight at night, so we are only getting up once about 3-4am, which we never thought we would get to this point. Yay us!!



Since I went back to work, it's so much fun to come home & see her get all excited when she sees me. Jimmy has brought her by work a few times & it just makes my day! Work is going good, but I still miss being with her all day. I have to admit, it is nice to have adult conversations again...BUT I would stay home with her in a heartbeat! Here's some pics from the last week.....





She likes to cover her face in blankets, so we have been playing lots of hide & seek lately...she looks really confused when we do it, then she just smiles so big. We just love, love, love her to death!!! I put on this tutu & tried to take some pics, but it was nasty outside so I didn't have good light....lots more to come when I get a sunny day & good light! I bought some new backdrops, so we are ready for some good pics!! Hopefully all this nasty cold & snow is gone from here for good!!! I'm ready for spring & sunshine!!!!

10 weeks old

Finley is 10 weeks old today!! WOW!! Time flies but we are enjoying every minute of her...even the sleepless nights & the 3-4 hour feedings. She smiles ALL the time & is basically a happy baby as long as we feed her & let her sleep. Hey, that's what makes me happy too, so who can blame her? She LOVES her new bouncy seat we bought (on sale at Target for $18!!)!! She sits in it & laughs, coos & watches TV for a pretty good while now. She also enjoys her tummy time, especially when Daddy is on the floor with her. Her arms & legs are going non-stop...we just keep waiting for her to get up & go because she sure is trying to.

We are still working on the night time routine & getting her to sleep longer in her pack-n-play. It's definitely a work in progress, but we are getting there. She will atleast sleep in it, but not for more than about 2 hours??? BUT she did sleep for almost 5 hours last night STRAIGHT!!! Jimmy & I slept for about 4 straight hours, which is a record around here! Yay!! There is hope!!



Here are some of her newborn pics that we finally got! These are some of our favorites, but we love them all! She was 8 days old when these were taken!



I go back to work Monday, so please say a prayer for us all! I am not looking forward to it, but atleast she will be with her Daddy. Jimmy is going to keep her on the 3 days I work, so that helps my mind a lot, but I am going to miss being home with her.
