Finley was not very interested in getting these pictures taken, but her older sister was more than willing to participate!
It is almost impossible for me to believe our littlest girl is already a month old. It has been a whirlwind, but a good one.
She is quite a little peanut, weighing 7lbs 12oz at her 4 week weight check (compared to Harper at 9lbs 2oz).
A few highlights:
• Much like the first time around,
We didn't slow down much after baby. Finley started tagging along to dance and ECFE classes and playgrounds within a week of being born.
• She is a pretty good sleeper, usually sleeping between 4-6 hours in her first strength at night
• She is struggling to work gas through her system and it breaks my heart to listen to her pained cry!
• She is much more awake now and seems to take everything in
• She is pretty low key- except in the evening. She usually expects to eat from the second I put Harper to bed (around 6:45) until she falls asleep between 9 and 930.
• Her big sister still loves to tickle her toes and comes in my room every morning declaring that she wants to "see her"
• Harper has never questioned the nursing process, but is quick to declare that "she needs food from you" anytime she cries. (She is also starting to declare that I need to feed her baby dolls too).
• Finley admittedly gets less floor time than her sister did (because I am not confident that that sister won't step/dance/roll/fall on her), but her neck is getting stronger quickly. (Similar to her sister she had a very strong neck right away)
• I don't know if it is due to her size or his memory, but Adam thinks Finley is much "floppier" than Harper
After 3 weeks of grandparent help, we all seem to be adapting to life as a foursome. (Poor Hesburgh just looked at us with a look that said "really?! Again?!").
Everyday is a new adventure and we are certainly along for the ride!
