She is almost 6 months!!

I can't believe the time has come that we need to post about Finley at 6 months! She has brought so much joy into our lives and has such a wonderful personality! She is very laid back and LOVES her sisters and brother. They are always singing, talking, and playing with her and she just sits and smiles and takes it all in. I love seeing the close bond these 4 have with each other. Here are some random pics of our sweet Fee!!!

We took her to the pool for the first time. The girls were so excited that she was coming with us
She liked splashing in the water

When Daddy comes home from work, some days he doesn't make it very far into the door. This day, he grabbed his baby and plopped right down on the kitchen floor to see her. These kids are so lucky to have such a loving father! I just had to take a pic because they looked so cute together.

The ladies snuggling watching a movie after baths.

My terrific family

The girls had to dress Finley up in a costume. She has on their dress and shoes (we had just finished dinner - notice the vinegar all down the front of Chloe's shirt! Good thing Daddy has become a pro at stain removal!)

Finley's first bath with the big kids!! Carly took up the oldest sister card and got to go first. Chloe and Harper are awaiting their turn in the tub with her!

On Sunday, she had her first bites of food. Homemade butternut squash - yum! She ate it right up and acted like she knew exactly what she was doing.

We took the kids to see Matt's grandma - Great Grandma Broome (the kids like the way that sounds). We enjoyed our visit. She gave Harper a plastic horse to play with. As soon as he got it, he broke the leg right off! I guess the toys hadn't been played with in a while and that combination with Harper - look out!!

Look at Carly holding Finley's hand - so sweet!

I will call the next session of pictures - bad hair days! I bet Finley could pose for one of those 365 desk calendars and each day be a saying about bad hair days. She has had some very interesting mornings - we joke that she is going to be one rough looking teenager when she wakes up!

The helmet look

The electrocuted look

Getting her hair styled. After baths I have to mousse her hair and blow dry it. I don't know too many people who have to go to all these extremes with a baby, but as you can see from the previous pictures, that if it is not done, she becomes Medusa in the morning!
