Finley, Unleashed!

The day Finley arrived, my cousin Kati sent me a text before I delivered that said, 'If the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has anything to say about it, you're having a girl, named Finley today.'

This article and headline was on the front page of the sports section on Finley's birthday.

LOVE this :)

We didn't name her after the Green Bay Packers player, Jermichael Finley (as many of you know Cory is a Lions fan, so that wouldn't have worked)... We did find it fitting that this was the headline on the day she arrived in the world!

Finley's First Bath

She wasn't the biggest fan of her first bath, but once we got her ducky towel on her, she was once again our happy girl!

Afterwards her and Daddy and a little 'skin-to-skin' snuggle time to warm her up. She LOVED it!

Love her face :)

Welcome Home Finley!!!

She looks so little in her car seat. We were released to come home the day after Finley arrived. We were very eager to get home with our precious peanut.

I went into the house before Cory so I could say hi to Buffett and pay him some attention. Cory followed with Finley...

...and the two of them got to meet for the first time. Buffett does seem sad/depressed, but we are hoping that once he gets used to having Finley around he will get back to being himself. He is very protective of her and doesn't like when she cries.

My parents found these signs to rent on their way down here to meet Finley. It is made out of an old barn door. They rented this one and it was waiting for us in our yard when we arrived home.

Grandpa Reid made us boneless 'baby' back ribs, with sweet 'baby' Ray's BBQ sauce, glazed 'baby' carrots, and mashed 'baby' red potatoes for our first meal home with Finley! :)

Finley is 1 day old!

My friend Andrea made these amazing photo blocks for us. We plan to use them for her monthly photos. They are adorable and we just had to use them in the hospital to commemorate her 1 day old birthday!

Visitors!!!

Grandma Kelly had a big week! Finley's cousin Oliver was born 3 days before her!

Our wonderful friends Nikki, Tiffany, and Andrea came to visit us and showered Finley with lots of wonderful 'girly' outfits!

Uncle Lee thought Finley was pretty cute!

Auntie Lauren loves her SO much!

Finley has SO many more people to meet including her daddy's sisters and her mommy's brother. Also, lots of cousins, friends, aunts, and uncles!

Introducing Finley Brooks Cooper

Finley was welcomed to the world on June 10, 2012 at 12:12pm. She was facing 'sunny-side-up' so they had to use vacuum suction to get her out after I had pushed for a little over an hour.
