My Sweet Finley Girl

Here are a few recent pictures of my Finley Winslet. She is my quietest one thus far, although she is starting to get a bit feisty & isn't afraid to let us know when there is something she wants or needs. She doesn't really talk yet, but she dances and "sings" all day long. She'll go out in the garage where it echoes and she'll spin in circles and listen to herself sing and hum. She'll also grab whoever's hand is available and start dancing around in circles. It's pretty funny. She loves her sister & brother and will occassionally go and lay her head down in their laps or go up and wrap her arms around them and love on them. This morning she cuddled with Berk on the couch underneath a blanket. They are pretty cute together and I plan on putting them in the same room together as soon as we switch Fin to a big girl bed. I want them to be as close as Laura & I are and I think sharing a room has a lot to do with that.

She is a complete daddy's girl. The minute Thomas comes home she squeals and runs to him as fast as her little legs will carry her. She loves to cuddle. Every Sunday when we take her into the nursery, all the ladies fight over who gets Finley. She literally sits in the rocking chair the entire service and cuddles with whoever winds up with her. The pastor's wife, Sandy, never wants to let her go when we come to get her and I've noticed she always tries to line herself up so that she is the one who gets Finley when we drop her off.

I can't believe she is going to be 2 in a few months. I think the 3rd one grows the fastest of all. I am trying to enjoy every minute with her...pretty soon she'll be getting on the bus and leaving me for 7 hours just like Berkeley. I know the day is quickly approaching when all of my kids will be at school all day long and I don't know if I'm ready for it.
