finley is 11 months old!































this month has been such a sweet little time in finley's life. i continue to wrap my arms around her increasing Independence just hoping to stifle it for just a bit longer. i am not ready for her to be bigger or older or wiser. i just love this time. i love watching her. i love holding her. i love that she is my baby. i guess she will always be my baby. but for right now she also loves being my baby.

she is starting to pull up

she is definitely mobile, but she is not into everything....yet

she is down to nursing only twice a day

she loves to play

she loves to watch her brothers and sister play

she loves, loves, loves kids

she is still tiny

her hair is such an odd shade of reddish blonde. who knows where that came from or if it will stay. but genetics continue to astound me.

she weighs in at 18 lbs

she wears 6-9 months--oliver jack was much more meaty at every age than all of the rest. finley seems to follow suit to her sister pound for pound.

i blow dry her hair after every bath to keep tangles to a minimum. i started blow drying her hair in the winter because i didn't like the thought of her going to bed with wet hair in our decidedly freezing old house. it is a routine that we still do because it minimizes the tangles that occur when she sleeps and rolls around on a wet head of full hair. i recognize the absurdity of it though.

she's sweet.

she still doesn't have too many tricks. but she is loved and adored and i love my life with her.

in just a few short weeks she will reach that milestone of 1 year!
