One Week

 Our baby Finley is one week old today! Time seems to go faster with each baby. This week has felt like a blurr of days mixed with days. I am getting used to functioning like a zombie again, but can't complain all that much because Mr. Fin really is a good little sleeper. He is such a good baby! So chill and relaxed. He loves being held and will sleep up to four hours at a time in my arms. He's also spent a couple of nights in his crib doing two and a half hour stints. When he is awake he is pretty charming for the most part and the only time he ever cries is if he's starving or getting his bum changed. He is adored by his siblings and they are always fighting over who gets to hold him. He gets at least one hundred kisses a day and they love to touch his little head. 

I have been trying to cherish as much time as I can with this little guy before Mike heads back to work and my attention gets split four ways. It's been hard for me to put him down and there are many times I wish I could hold him all day long. He is such a snuggler and I love having him in my arms. I like the quiet moments we share in the evenings after everyone is tucked in for the night. I love watching him sleep, especially when he flashes me those sleepy baby grins. I adore giving him eskimo kisses and holding his face next to mine as I kiss his little cheeks over and over again. I can't get enough of his little feet, long fingers, and fuzzy hair.

 

He has spent a lot of time sleeping in his first week of life and is just starting to have more awake time. When he is awake and fed he is happy to hang out in his big sister's arms while she talks to him. This usually results in a bad case of the hiccups because he gets to excited, and then Camilla can't stop laughing because he sounds like a squeak toy. Hyrum loves spending quiet time with the baby and will often lay beside him on our bed when he's asleep and just stare at him. Joseph has become quite familiar with Finley now and sometimes tries to pick him up when he thinks I'm not looking. When I change him and he cries Joseph will come in and say, "It's ahhh-kay buddy, it's ah-kay!" Finley is definitely well loved around here!
