5 Months!

Finley turned 5 months old on Valentine's Day!
Time is just flying by....
And as time is flying by...our little baby is growing and changing.
She wasn't quite as talkative for a couple weeks there
but now she's back to exploring her vocal range and still figuring out
what laughing is all about... and when she does, it's usually during diaper changes.
She's much more interactive, grabbing for anything that's in front of her.
She can't always grasp it...but she definitely tries.
And when she does get her hands on something....into her mouth it goes!
She is loving rice cereal and we're looking forward to
introducing her to new foods in the next couple weeks.
Her hair is really starting to fill in too,
such a beautiful, dark head of hair she will have!
She is as smiley as ever but knows when to turn it off for the camera...
Picture taking is a two person job now.....one of us behind the camera and
the other entertaining her, trying to make her smile.
And, as you can tell by our blog posts.... most photo sessions and
updates take place on the weekends.
Here are a few shots we captured over the past week or so.

Rice Cereal!

Finley tried rice cereal for the first time this weekend.
She wasn't so sure about it at first and was more interested
in chewing on the spoon than eating the cereal.
She got a bit frustrated in the beginning
so we waited a few minutes and tried it again
This time around she loved it!

We went a bit overboard with pictures and videos
But what do you expect from first time parents?
Everything is a big milestone!
So... watch one, two, or all the videos and
enjoy this milestone with us!

Naked baby!

Everybody loves a naked baby photoshoot!








I never use to be a morning person and many people
are unfortunately a witness to that....
But that all changed with little Miss Finley
She wakes up every morning full of smiles
and as of late, showing off her tongue.
How can anyone be in a grumpy mood after that?
After placing her in her crib
and before I leave her room
I always watch her sleep so peacefully
And eagerly await the next morning
to do it all over again




Super Bowl!

Finley had an amazing first Super Bowl.
She got to experience the Packers become World Champions!
Go Pack Go!

Cheeseheads are great for holding food and beer!
Eagerly watching the game
Keeping entertained during half-time
The suspense is building
all eyes on the game
excitement is taking over
Finley discovers beer
Katie and Finley bonding over Miller Lite
Wearing her cheesehead proudly!
Go Pack Go!
See you next season!

All those toys we got as gifts way back when I was still pregnant
are now really being enjoyed by Finley!
Her jungle play mat is still one of her favorite pastimes.
She loves anything that makes noise and moves.
And, of course she loves her finger puppets!

Lately, she's been really good at making cute and funny faces
she loves smacking her lips and blowing bubbles.

Here are a few moments we caught on camera.
