Hello Hands - Twelve Weeks

Chunky Monkey

This week Finley has discovered that she has hands.  She has no idea what to do with them or how to control them, but occasionally she will pull them together and get them into her mouth…delicious!

Finley turned twelve weeks on Sunday and somehow things in our family are just starting to click.  On the night of her birthday she slept from 9pm until 5am.  Todd and I are also starting to understand her language; we can decipher a hungry cry from a tired cry from an attention getting fuss.  It is very comforting to finally understand what she wants and how to provide for her needs.  A few days ago I looked at Todd and said, “We sure have come a long way from the night she pooped all over the walls of her nursery!”

I would say so far three months is a great age for a baby.  I love that Finley will smile and talk to us, especially first thing in the morning.  She is also getting much easier to schedule, so I get a little time to myself to blog and visit with my friends.  My favorite part of her is that when I put her down somewhere I know she will be exactly where I left her when I come back.  I am trying to cherish my stationary baby, as she will be mobile before I know it.  She also still loves to cuddle and sleep in our arms.

This week we put up our first family Christmas tree.  We had a visit from Gigi and Papa who stopped by on their way to Denver to see Jenny, Madeline and Ally.  We also had a visit from our cousin Cami who couldn’t keep her hands off of Finley!! Christmas is only a few days away; Todd and I can’t wait to celebrate with our darling little girl.  The holidays will always be more special with her around.
