Finley turned 1 month old yesterday. Cam pointed out that it's a "short" month old, though, since February was a short month. On Friday, we had professional pictures taken. She slept through the first few, but when she woke up, she was not happy. It took the magical hairdryer to get her to relax enough to finish her sitting. We can't wait to see how our little model did! Following her first photo shoot, she went out to eat in a restaurant for the first time. She slept through the entire thing (thankfully), which is unusual since she has a sixth sense for when her mother wants to eat. Finley, mom and dad spent the weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Bernhardt's in Waseca and had a quick visit at her Auntie Megan and Hannah's house in Savage. Cousin Sadie held her and loved her and even got to help feed her a bottle.
As for life at home, Finley usually goes to bed after her bath - which she loves - around 10:30 pm. She'll sleep until about 2:30 am. If she's really sleepy, she'll nurse in bed with mom and dad and fall asleep there. If she has a tummy ache, she can keep her mommy up until 5 in the morning :( Dad changes her diaper almost every morning before he goes to work, then puts her back to bed, where she sleeps until about 10:00 am. She nurses, gets a diaper and clothes change before falling asleep again around noon. She nurses and naps all afternoon, but one thing is for sure - she WILL NOT let anyone put her down for more than 20 minutes. She's becoming much more aware of her surroundings and seems to smile, although it's probably just gas at this point. She has an adorable little dimple that both her mom and dad look forward to seeing each day.
She loves and misses you all!
