She’s FIVE!

I know this is a day late, but we were busy yesterday celebrating this little girl’s 5th birthday!

She celebrated her birthday with eight of her closest friends Friday night with a pajama party.  While it was a lot of fun, I doubt we will do that again!!  I think Rob’s ear’s were still ringing the next morning…

I can not believe how fast time has gone.  It seems like just yesterday we were welcoming her into the world.  She is such a wonder to us and we love her with all we have to give.  We could not have imagined a better daughter.  She brings light to our lives and spunk to our everyday routine. 

We love you Finley Jane!

I heart this picture of Rob.  Robby thinks he looks bug-eyed, but it is just too sweet for me.

How can we already love someone so much and we just met him 7 weeks ago?

Dear Rob,

It is me your mommy.  I just wanted to let you know how much your family loves you.  More than you can imagine.  Although, I think today we might love you a little more since you slept until almost 7:00 am.  Even though we still had to feed you at 3:00 am, allowing us to sleep past 5:30 this morning was great.  Keep it up and we might love you even more!

Teeth

Finley had her first trip to the children’s dentist last week and while Robby might think it is a waste, I think it was worth it.  Why, you ask…

There were TVs and video games in the waiting room. 

The entire office is painted like a little village.

She got to wear cool shades.

She got a balloon, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and stickers!

She watched a movie from a flat screen TV floating over her.

And Yep, they painted her nails while the cleaned her teeth.

What could be better than clean teeth and pretty fingers?

Two Peas in a Pod

We finally were able to make the journey down to visit cousin Mayson.  Even though Rob is a week older, she has a full pound on him!  They were a little unsure of each other at first, but it did not take long for them to become fast friends.
