9 Months!

This girl is spectacular! We absolutely love our little Fifi blessing! Just look at her! Need I say more?! She is 9 months now and has definitely developed her own personality. She is so funny and loved by her siblings. She can sit, crawl (she does a full crawl and then flops to a soldier crawl when she wants to go really fast), she can pull up and stand (which was quite a surprise when she did it for the first time in her bed - needless to say, her crib got lowered pronto), she can eat cheerios and poofs, and she can do her first sign - more! She is a very happy baby and goes with the flow! Her affection towards hair has not stopped. She has to fall asleep sucking her right thumb and twirling her hair. Sometimes I feel a little bad for the girl. Being the youngest of 4 kids has its advantages and disadvantages. 1 advantage is having lots of extra hands to take care of her. One day she was in her "cage" (sectioned off area in our room that is Fifi safe) and she was crying. I told the girls to help her out. She immediately was quiet and I finished what I was doing. I went in to check on her and they said Fifi wanted to snuggle. Somehow they had hoisted the baby up into my bed and there was a twin on each side of her. Oh poor Finley!! She obviously wasn't hurt, but it was still dangerous and I can only imagine what kind of positions they had her in. That is one thing that is hard with bigger kids around - they want to hold her alot and they think she is a baby doll! She brings so much joy to all of us! We love our little Finley!
Crawling to get me!

Finley's other 2 mothers!

Here is a video of her doing more today. Carly, Chloe, and Harper love to feed her. Her favorite thing to eat are these little cheesy poof things - she inhales them!
