Five months


Five Months:

Weight - didn't have you weighted this month
Height - didn't do height this month

We will see next month at your check up

Here is Finley's Five month stats

- Wear size 2 diapers
- Wearing 3-6 months and 6 months
- Still nursing evenings and weekends; momma's supply is dwindling
- Mommy pumps at least 4 times a day
- At Laura's you are still bottle fed BM. (about 5 1/2 ounces every 3 hours)
- Bedtime ranges between 8 - 8:30 pm
- I have been giving you a bath with your sister about 7:30 pm
- You are rolling over both ways ( back to tummy and vice versus) Literally rolling ALL.OVER.THE.PLACE.
- You are having cereal in the evening when we have dinner
- You are laughing and babbling so much it's hysterical
- You have found your toes!
- Your sleep patterns have really been somewhat better. Sleeping good at night and naps are getting more of a pattern. Morning, lunchtime, afternoon and usually short evening nap.
- You also love for the blanket to touch your face (just like your sister did)
- Swaddling is dwindling, but the sleep sack is still a hit!
- Exersaucer is a good fit for now.
- The swing is getting used less and less; I will put it away soon

At this point you sure are a momma's girl. If I leave your sight you stick out your bottom lip and it starts to quiver every time. Over the weekend, I rearranged some furniture in your room and I can't find your monthly stickers. So this picture without them will have to do for now.

Finley's 3rd Birthday - Pirate Party


My sweet Finley, I cannot believe that 3 years have past since you joined our family. I can still remember every.second. like it was yesterday. For your 3rd birthday, you wanted a pirate party. You may or may not be a fan of Jake and the Neverland Pirates! I'm not very creative so the extent of your party were decorations, a big giant inflatable slide and a pirate hat birthday cake. I don't even think I got a picture of the food table. 


Nana and Finley 


The one and only Gunnar; Quite the ladies man!

This was your first time going down the slide by yourself. Pawpaw was there to celebrate!


Miss Avery 


About to sing. Rebekah, Finley and Sutton



Having some lunch. I really didn't get a picture of the food table, but we had 'fish and chips', 'dead-man fingers', 'cannon balls' and 'cupcakes'






She was not excited about all the picture taking!


It was so funny because my dad and J's dad would go up and all the little ones would wait at the bottom and try and 'catch' them as they came down. 









Going down with daddy; Words cannot express how excited she was that her daddy was doing it with her.


Our little Pirate : )
