Fins first birthday!!

Things I want to never forget about Finlei!!

Finlei's Favorite person is Michael, although the feeling doesn't go both ways...
Finlei is delightful and always happy
Finlei's laugh is deep and throaty
Finlei does things in her own time, she has been standing unassisted for about 2 months and has yet to take a step!!!
Finlei can say momma, dadda, bro,bro(michael), baby, and waves good bye.
Finlei is a big girl always in the 95th% for height and weight, 25% for head.
Finlei has blondish red hair that is just now long enough to start to curl.(natural curl, that is, I hope it stays that way)
Finlei looks just like her grandpa Nelson, which he loves and takes alot of pride in, although when she was born I asked James what she looked like and he said with a frown your dad, I smiled thinking it was neat and Jamie said so she looks like a balding 50 year old man!!
Finlei has super stinky feet I wash them daily but they are just always stinky, poor girl.
Finlei is quite possibly the most beautiful girl in the world......I know, I know, not as cute as your little girls...
When we got pregnant we always thought that we were most excited to give Michael a sibling, you see we weren't sure we needed a second child our lives already seemed so full we thought Michael was enough. Now I know how wrong we were. Finlei is a gift from god, she has come into our lives and givin us perspective, joy, and the color PINK which was sorely missing from our house!!! Plus now the kids will always have eachother, which makes me feel warm inside...I have a bond with my little brother that is amazing and I am thankful for everyday!! I hope my children have the same.....Thanks for all that you have givin your Dadda, Bro..Bro, and Momma, Finlei we love you, Happy First Birthday!!!!
