Where has the time gone!? Finley is 3 months old today! I just started back to work last Wednesday and it was sooo hard to leave him! Zach and I interviewed a lady named Amy to care for Finley while I went back to work. It was a rough week to say the least. Zach and I ended up hating her. She was weird and mousy and very immature. She got homesick and even brought a stuffed animal to the house... not for the baby, for HERSELF! She was creepy and we fired her the first week. Zachs mom was kind enough to take Finley this week while we interviewed more nannys. We found a girl named Kristin who we just adore! She will start with us on Tuesday and we really have a good feeling about her! Right now, Zach has Mondays off with Finley so we have full time care for him at home Tuesday through Friday. I am really looking forward to the day I can just stay home more with Finley and work maybe part time. Zach is looking at getting a big promotion in the next year, where he will be a field service representative. Financially, we could afford for me to stay home when he takes this job! Now, we wont be vacationing to the carribean every year, but we will have Finley taken care of the best way we know, which is by his parents and in his home! Day care is just not an option for us, we thought we would be fine sending him, but once he was born it all changed! I couldnt imagine bringing that sweet baby to a daycare where one lady has 4 other kids to watch. I just envisioned him crying and no one to get him because they were busy with another baby! So, we are paying about double what we would for a nanny as opposed to daycare, but to me, its worht it!
Now, onto our prize! Mr Finley! He is such a sweet baby! He is smiling ALL the time, but hasnt laughed yet! We know its coming soon though because he opens that mouth so wide and smiles, but nothing comes out! He really is such a happy baby! We have taken him to the condo twice now and even took him to North Carolina..by plane when he was 2 months old! He was perfect on the flight.. didnt make a peep! We had a blast in North Carolina, visiting Zachs family for the week and traveled to boone mountain for the day!
Finley weighs 16 pounds right now. He is a big, healthy boy! He hasnt been sick yet and I am just dreading the day he gets his first cold or a little virus! He is babbling all the time right now and loves when you mimic him, he will hold a conversation forever! He also loves looking at the tv, he is just mesmerized by it! He is such a strong little thing, too! He loves when we help him stand up and he loves laying on his belly and lifting that big ole head up! He has amazed us from day one, when he lifted that head in the hospital!
We are just in love with this baby boy and look forward to every single day with him!
