And We're Off!

Faith is 8 1/2 months old now and has been crawling for a month. It didn't take long after that for her to pull herself up onto furniture and stand in her crib. You won't find any crawling pictures here though. She's too fast for my camera ~ they're all blurry. And she has NO fear of things. Pretty sure we'll have a climber on our hands.

She also quickly located Oscar's food dish and water dish. She really likes to play in them, so I'm trying to teach her the meaning of no-no-no. She does stop, then looks at me, then smiles. Hmm... maybe discipline takes a while? Aren't you supposed to do time outs in increments of 1 minute per year of age? So like 45 seconds then? I think I'm going to have to read some books on this.

Here's a bathtime photo. When Dad does bathtime it's like a water carnival with running water, sound effects, the whole nine yards. She has so much fun!
Playing the drums.
Look at me in my Faith chair! The last time we got a shot of her in her chair she was only a few months old. My how we've grown. She can get in it, but then to get down she goes head first to the floor.

Two teeth now on the bottom and working on the top two.

These pictures are already almost a month old. We tried the swing out one day with kitty and piggy, but I'm pretty sure she's too big for it now. She really took a liking to her piggy bank and even will talk to it. Not sure what that's all about.
Oh how we love our dinosaur that sings "The apple bottom jeans and the boots with the fur, and the whole club was looking at her..." And it dances!
Look Oscar! Come watch my dinosaur with me.
They really are good friends.

This girl is truly amazing. It is just so fun to watch her learn and absorb things. You can almost see the wheels spinning. And she has a wonderful determination about her. We always knew she was our strong Faith Amelia and she continues to prove that to us daily. Praise the Lord for the blessings he gives us!
