It was also her very first Thanksgiving. Daddy had to work. First we woke up, got ready and headed over to Aunt Noel's. After hanging out there for a while with Grandma, Noel, Ralph, Natalie and the Kids we headed over to Grandma & Grandpas. We had our feast and Finley got to take part in the festivities too. She had green beans! After eating we were all tired so we napped. Then we hung out for a while and headed home to meet up with Daddy when he got off work. We went back to Noel's for a bit and then home. When we got home Christina stopped by (she was in town from Vegas) to bring Finley some clothes she had bought for her. A jazzy new jacket, some tights, a cute dress and a hair bow ;) Thanks Aunite Teeny! Then we went to bed!
(with a little green bean remnants left. Ha)
Today was Daddy's birthday so we went NON stop. First to Grandma and Grandpa's, then to Grandma's, then to Sakura to eat Hibachi, then Hobby Lobby, then home finally! Daddy put together his new grill while Momma decorated the house and the Christmas tree. Then Finley went to bed, a few times. Then Daddy went to bed. Momma did about a million other things around the house and ordered some Christmas gifts online and now here we are...in present time. Exhausted!
I must say that this Momma is glad to be in bed now. I'm proud to say that I am probably about 70% done with Christmas shopping at this point which is really not normal for me. Oh and we did not shop for Black Friday this year, no thank you.
I will post baby girls 6 month onesie shots ASAP. Probably in a few days. Since I work tomorrow I'll probably snap them a bit late, on Monday I am guessing.

Something else that I have been meaning to mention here. A couple weeks ago another Mama on an online forum that I am a member of started a thread on things we will remember. I wanted to list a few of my replies. Typing them out totally got me. I wanted to insert them here to have for future reference as to never forget these little details about my girl...although the images and sounds will forever play in my mind ;)
-Her "heh heh heh" sound that she would make when she was so eager to nurse. It's also gone. We would always laugh because it was sooo adorable.
-Her "baby talk". It was like she was trying to "talk" extra soft and extra baby like. Little Ahh's and Gaaah's. She would do it oh so quiet and soft. It was like she sweet talk....also gone now.
-Her screeches. They are hardcore and shrill. Most would want to cover their ears but I just love them. We all laugh. The other week at the Nutcracker Market she went on for probably 30 minutes. We got laughs from others. haha
-The way we both just love staring at and admiring her.
-The time right after waking up in the mornings. She is very quiet and touches all over Mommas face. Hands in my mouth, over my eyes, everywhere. I pretend like I am going to eat her fingers. She laughs
-Her face mesmerized by mine. She just stares in amazement as to be thinking "My Momma is so pretty". She did it for almost a full 30 minutes while facing me in her Bjorn at the Nutcracker Market. My Mom even kept on commenting. I of course was thinking the same thing that I suspect she was ;)
-Her sleeping face, lips puckered...while I kiss them.
-Nursing.
-The way she rushes back to nursing burying herself after briefly pulling away to look around. She also laughs at my face during nursing and gets too distracted to eat, so funny.
All of these things that I mentioned will soon be replaced by new exciting things for us to cherish and remember and I am just so excited about that. It doesn't make me miss them any less though. They are so special to me. I love the memories we are already creating and the ones we will forever be creating with our girl as she grows.
