Miss Finley is turning 1.

May 24, 2010

One. 3 letters that hold so much meaning to our family. We feel abundantly blessed everyday that we spend with our little angel. She has given us an immense love that we never could have imagined. Finley came into our family and made us a wonderful family of 4. We learn so much from her everyday. She is a snuggler. A fighter. She loves laying her head on your shoulder and holds her little head in the nape of your neck. She loves Oatmeal and Banana cereal. She says “yummmm” everytime you slide food into her mouth. She belly laughs at herself everytime she sneezes. The world’s lightest sleeper. Flips herself over during diaper changes and laughs hysterically, because she knows she’s being a stinker. LOVES her big sister to pieces. To pieces! Thinks Piper is the beginning and end of coolness. Will not drink her formula at any temperature that doesn’t resemble hot. Has the craziest hair I’ve ever seen. Falls asleep on mommy’s chest for mid-day naps in our bed. Can point to your nose and ears when you ask her to. Is a perpetual laugher. A happy baby. Happy in every sense of the word. LOVES her daddy. Giggles when Ripley licks her finger or when Marmalade, our kitty, rubs against her with her soft fur. All of these things that I list are a blessing. To think we came so close to not knowing her or who she would become just makes me adore her that much more. This little girl that the Lord gave to us, that He entrusted us with. It’s all miraculous and all glory is given to Him. We know that even though the doctor’s are still scratching their heads over you, that God knows you through and through. We never scratch our heads. We just trust that you are here for reasons beyond all earthly explanation. Thank you God for allowing us to raise, love and wrap ourselves in everything that Finley is. Thank you Finley for teaching us that it is possible to love this deeply. You are loved to the moon and back times a number that I can’t even imagine exists. You are loved. Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love~ Mommy, Daddy & Piper :) xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
