1 year...ALREADY?!?!?! AHHHH

My baby is one...I still cannot believe it, I haven't cried, but I think that is because I literally cannot believe it! I feel like just yesterday I was in the hospital, holding my brand new baby, giving her her very first bath, counting her fingers and toes, swaddling her, and staring at her in amazement! This year has gone by faster than any year in my life, and I feel like they are just going to keep flying by!

Faith is so amazing, and although sometimes I'll admit she drives me bananas, she is still the light of my life! She makes every day so special and perfect, I wish she understood that today is her birthday, but I know she doesn't! She still isn't walking, and I really don't feel like she will be anytime soon, and I don't want to push her, she has always been on her own schedule, and I know she will do it when she is ready. And in true Faither's fashion, she will just up and take like 5 steps, and be completley on the go! She always does things late, but she does em good! When she sat up at 6 months, she stayed sitting up and she did soo good, when she started crawling at 9 months she TOOK OFF! I know she will be running soon after her very first steps, so for now I am ok chasing around a crawling baby! She has 3 almost 4 teeth, I say almost 4 because I am sure today her 4th will be breaking through, it is soo close I can feel it right through her gums!!

We are having her birthday party on Sunday, it will be small, but I wanted to do something for her, so we will have a little shindig! Wishing everyone could be there, but that's the life of pipelining!!! I will have lots of pictures tho!!!!

busy, busy, busy...

So I finally uploaded a ton of pictures off my camera, and realized I haven't posted many latley...probably becayse there isn't really anything exciting going on... Faith is on the move constantly, we are pretty busy, between going to the gym, taking naps, ohh and Faith's favorite thing....EATING! I hardley find time to do much, especially since Josh doesn't usually get home untill around 8...then it is bed time, and mommy & daddy time! So...since I know next week I will be posting birthday party pictures (tear), I figured I'd give you a look back at the last couple weeks!!

Faith's personality is as BIG as ever!! She loves giving kisses...high fives....and laughing really hard, usually so hard it gives her hiccups!!

Enjoy, and I will TRY my hardest not to post a sappy 1 year birthday post on Thursday...but no promises ;)

Where ohhh where did my baby go?!?!?!?!?

Ok, I am in total disblief...my baby is 11 & 1/2 months old!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH I am in shock, how did this happen soo fast? The last 12 months seems like it just flew by, and the last 4 months even faster, since 9 months she has grown & learned SOOO much it is unbeliveable! I'm still trying to keep up, she crawls, stands up, almost walks, eats her food on her own, she is SO BIG GIRL (as Josh would say)!! Independence is her favorite thing, she wants to eat on her own, play and crawl all around, she wants to go outside & play all day long, if someone opens the door, and she doesn't get to go out, she throws a HUGE fit...

What makes me get into all this and be so mushy you ask?!?! haha the little things in life...like Faith's new favorite food...SPAGHETTI, and she likes to use her own fork to eat it, or her hands, mostly her hands! Ok so enough talk...some pictures from Spaghetti & bath time afterwards!!!

XOXO,

Walka Walka Walka....

Ok I say that to Faith all the time when we are walking...so I had to name my post that...Sorry!!

Faith isn't walking YET don't worry, but she is getting close (I think), she loves walking holding onto our hands, and she is standing for a few seconds on her own, and walking behind her toy! She is soo cute...so I have decided to share some pictures, and a video just for you!!

Hopefully soon I will be posting a video of her first steps!!

xoxoxo,

Happy 4th of July!!!

I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL holiday weekend!! We sure did!! It was so nice to be coming home from a weeks vacation away from Josh, and having a 3 & 1/2 day weekend!!! We sure did love that time together!!! Faith fell asleep on the way to fireworks, and stayed asleep when I put her in her stroller, but the fireworks woke her up (which I am soo happy it did)!

She LOVED the fireworks, and would NOT let me cover her little ears up!!
