Dear Finley,
How can you be one already?? You are such a delight to me! In a year of change and craziness, holding you and looking at you smile has been a comfort and joy to me. I am so glad to have you.
On this first birthday, you are crawling very fast and getting into lots of things. You are getting close to walking but are pretty happy crawling. Your favorite game is to hand me an object and wait for me to offer it back to you. You love your siblings, and they like to take care of you. You and Jamey have started playing some little games together, and Ginna still asks to hold you, pick out your clothes, and take care of you. She is always willing to go get things for you when I need them.
Everywhere I go, people comment on your eyes. As in, very few days go by when I don’t get a comment about how beautiful they are.
You are easy-going. You love food and are a very adventurous eater. You light up when I walk in the room. You show your excitement by making a little noise and smiling really big.
I’ve often wondered how many kisses I give you in a day. Since they usually come in sets of five or six, I wouldn’t be surprised if you get 100 a day.
I am so thankful for you, little guy, and I thank God for you often.
Love,
Mommy
