Finley LAUGHS at Umpa!

Apparently when my dad fake coughs, Finley thinks it's hilarious!

Finley LOVES Umpa!

 If we learned one thing during Thanksgiving, it is that Finley is OBSESSED with her Umpa!  They did everything together and she thinks he is hilarious!  She clearly is a wonderful judge of character and such an early age :)

 So in love with each other.

Finley's First Thanksgiving

 Finley loves her Nonni!

 Finley had squash for the first time on Thanksgiving.. She LOVED it!

 This pic cracks me up!  She looks like a rapper.  YO, YO, YO, Happy Thanksgiving!

So thankful for our little turkey!

Giving Thanks at the Coopers

 It wasn't a huge celebration, but it was SO special!

 Baby's spot at the Thanksgiving table :)

 She even had her own place card!

For Finley's first Thanksgiving, we started a new tradition.  We each wrote what we were thankful for on the tablecloth.  We will keep it and write on it every year we have Thanksgiving at The Coopers.

Cory: I'm thankful for my wife and daughter and this big 'ol bird. LOL

Umpa makes pizza!

 Umpa made dinner the night before Thanksgiving... It was SO yummy!

 Of course it was all made from scratch and tasted just like Spang's pizza.  I was in heaven.

As some of you know, my dad is like a tornado when he cooks.  I am still finding flour, yeast, sauce, and other ingredients all over the kitchen days later. :)

Thankgiving Eve

 Nonni wanted to be a part of Finley's bedtime routine.  She got her all dressed in her Gobble, Gobble pj's and read her a story... She looks confused because she is trying to read her the story without her glasses :)

 Now she can see!

 Smile?!  She has been making this silly face lately :)

Ann, one of my co-workers, gave me these brand new pj's because she had bought them for her grand-daughter and they didn't fit her, so she thought they might fit Finley.  They were perfect!

5 months old!

 Our happy, sweet girl is 5 months old!  She weighs approximately 17.2lbs and is approximately 27in. long.  These measurements were taken by yours truly, so don't take my word on it. :)

Finley continues to be an awesome baby.  She is pretty much always happy.  She loves bath time, her Jumperoo, and playing with toys.  She has recently started to grab her legs and toes and can almost get them by her face when laying on her back.  She giggles and laughs all of the time.  She can ALMOST roll from her back to her front... she's SO close. I am guessing she will get it this week.  She is doing well at daycare and we feel blessed to have April (her babysitter) in her life.  It is quite apparent that she is well taken care of while she is there.  We look forward to what this next month will bring!!!!
