I wish I could bottle up how wonderful it is to have a six month old and cherish it forever. Today I was looking at newborn photos of other babies from Finley’s photographer and I got a little nostalgic thinking that Finley isn’t a baby anymore. It also hit me that I am going to be thinking this for the rest of her life. Six months is so much fun, Finley has learned how to laugh and she laughs all day long. She will do this little giggle sometimes because something is funny, but most of the time because hey she feels like laughing!! She has also discovered her feet and man are they interesting. She will spend hours looking at them, pulling on them, and even putting them in her mouth. All of her discoveries are so much fun, but I have to say the best new development is 12 hours of sleep at night. I don’t know how it happened, one night we put her down and she woke up 12 hours later, we did it again the next night – same thing. I wish there was some magic formula so that I could write it down and lock it up if we have another child but Finley decided to sleep all night on her own terms. I am sure she will decide to borrow the car and my clothes on her own terms as well; we have a very strong willed little girl.
The first six months of Finley’s life has been filled with so much change. I have to hand it to her for being a wonderful child and just going with the flow. In six months we lived in NYC, Park City and now we have finally settled in Houston. I am so happy that we have decided to make a home and stay here for a very long time. When I lived in Houston before I would say, “I wasn’t born here but I got here as fast as I could!” That is how I feel about Finley; Texas will be a wonderful place to grow up. We are surrounded by wonderful family and friends and her Grandpa Slinger is only a few hours away – we can’t wait to see him soon!!!
