7th months has arrived :)

So Faye is 7 months old as of today :) that isn't the only thing that happened today she also got her 3rd tooth! upper front right :)...we're the luckiest parents out there to have such a great happy energetic and charismatic little girl. She has so much personality and just loves life. (smile).

This was a visit she had with Aunt Sara and Uncle Adam this past Saturday :) we're so blessed to have them in our life. 
She LOVESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS her MONSTER INC. toys loves loves loves...she'll seriously sit and play with them for as long as you let her...so wicked cute. she still loves any tag whether it is on a stuffed animal or a toy, still obsessed with Raffi. Well I don't need to go down the list she just pretty much loves the favorites that have been favorites for a long time.

Here is Faye discovering that she can use the bumbo to stand I turned my head for a moment and the next thing I know she is standing in it!

This is another one of Faye newest favorite toys...it's the small and simple things I suppose :)




She took a bath this morning from the big girl seat (present from her grandma (Kee)) however after 20 min, or so she just wanted to stand up or get out, she was stretching for me to pick her up so I ended her bath early. BUT funny thing is she knew her little blue whale tub was around the wall she was stretching around me to see it so I think she missed her old tub. I think we'll go back to using that and see if she prefers that 

One of the newer things she did recently is she crawls(ed) over to her saucer, stood up, and then walked/wobbled in step with it as it turned...so crazy how fast she is growing up...it feels like yesterday she was born. Well anywho my two loves are here with me now and will be forever and I just am so absolutely happy about that. Cheers!

this weekend

This weekend Faye discovered how to pull herself up to a standing position :) using objects around the house to pull herself up with. On our walk she managed to turn herself around and stand up in the stroller. We dropped her crib to its lowest setting Friday :( well Jordan did and we were both crazed about it because we just never thought we would have to do it so early...sad but very happy times. We feel so much joy when we see her face light up when she does new things ya know. She is seriously such a good girl she rarely rarely gets upset :) for example when her teeth came in she never fussed at all we never would have known if she hadn't provided us with gallons of drool :) and sweet potatoes are the food we are giving her this week and they are seriously her favorite (just like her mommy).

Here are a few pics from this weekend...ENJOY!

Faye is mobile

Ok so I know I told you that Faye's been crawling for some time now...but I couldn't resist uploading this recent show of intelligence, she is such a smart little cookie let me tell ya. So these pics are not the best...used my phone because I didn't have our camera on me at that moment but it's all good in the hood...
Here is Faye about to crawl to Raffi
 Faye made it to Raffi so I put up a wall to block her. She sat there for about a minute or two and then she decided to go AROUND the barricade.
 and so it was
