Lady who loves to lunch

Lunch with Lindsey

Lunch with Paula

The first week of 2012 flew by so fast. The one thing that is constant every day with Finley is that I do not know where the time goes.  I feel like it is all that I can do to get out of the house by noon each day.  It seems as soon as we took the tree down Finley’s three month clothes became a little snug, with the new year she will also be getting a new 3-6 month wardrobe!  This week Todd took a trip to New York and to Houston and Gigi came in to keep Finley and I company.  We had a wonderful visit with her and we were both so sad to see her leave.  During Gigis’ visit we were ladies about town, having lunch and dinner with Paula and Lindsey Harrison.  Finley LOVES to go out to eat – she adores sitting at the table and being held by whomever.  Finley and I also had our first car trouble together.  On Thursday I was heading to the grocery store when the computer in our car went off and said, “Do not drive over 30 miles per hour” and soon after the notice I heard a very loud scraping noise.  Our car fell on top of the wheels – crazy right?!?!  I was able to pull over safely and call a tow truck.  A thousand dollars and a free car wash later we were back on the road!  Todd will be home on Wednesday and we have a visit from Aunt Price on Friday – Finley can’t wait to meet her!!!!

Each day is a new day when it comes to Finleys sleeping habits.  I would say she is a good sleeper and will take a morning and afternoon nap on her own.  The latest development is that we can put her in her crib around 8 or 9 at night and she goes to sleep, Hallelujah!!!!!  Since her last feeding is right before we put her down, I still have to get up between 3am and 4am to feed her, she will quickly eat 4 ounces and then go back down until morning.  Morning comes anywhere between 6am and 8am.  I would say we are over the hump of a newborn and we are now living with an infant.  She is still on the small side so I don’t expect a 10 or 12 hour night for another month or so.  I don’t mind the middle of the night feeding, I think I am just used to it and I have worked it into my own sleep pattern.  I am so very thankful that she finally goes down easy, we spent three months living with someone who did not want to go to bed until midnight, so this new development is a treat for both Todd and I.  However, Todd no longer has an excuse to stay up late catching up on Gold Rush!!!  If you haven’t heard of Gold Rush that is a good thing, but in short it is a reality tv show about total morons trying to mine for gold in Alaska.  Todd started watching it when he would stay up late with the baby, I hate to admit that I also watch it now, it is strangely addicting.  Will the Schnables find gold???

Weather update – still sunny and snow free in Park City L

So Happy

The dry weather is tough on my hair
