Today our Finley turned THREE! It's so crazy how fast these last three years have gone by! I loved snuggling a new baby right at Christmas time. Even though our house was in a crazy state at the time as we rearranged bedrooms, I remember feeling such peace and joy. The spirit of Christmas was definitely present that year.
Finley is a pretty special kid! He is happy, fun loving, smart and easily excited! He also has a stubborn side and a scream that will break your ear drums. He has a strong desire to be obedient and is often the best listener when we go out places. He has a big heart and is easy to love. About a million times a day he will say, "Mom, I love you". He is always hugging my leg, asking me to bend down so he can kiss my cheek, and snuggling with me late at night. Being the fourth means he sometimes fights extra hard for our attention and often he wanders out of bed after the others have fallen asleep and sits next to us or plays quietly at our feet. It's kind of become his special time with us, and right now, I'm okay with that. He plays hard and doesn't like to miss anything. He is always trying to be like his big brothers and loves to spend time with them. His talking is improving so much lately! Camilla has gone from being called "Wa-Wa" to being called "Ta-mil-a!" We love this kid, all the way from the sparkle in his eye to his chubby little toes.
Having a birthday around Christmas time can be hard. This year he got one simple gift, but watching his eyes light up as he screamed in delight was the best thing ever! He was so excited about his "cat boy" car so that he could play with his big brother, Joe who already had the green car. Happy birthday Mr. Finnegan! Love you buddy!
