Life is rocking my face offffffff! :)

3 years of marriage and 8 and month old little girl...spring is here and I am definitley happy about it

Two huge things happened this month!
Three years ago Jordan and I were married (March 7). It's amazing to me how much has changed since then--one new little person being the biggest of those changes (!). Being married to a great man is wonderful. Jordan's self-sacrifice, protection, provision, and leadership are such great blessings to our family!
AND
Our little girl is 8 months today...my days are filled with nursing, snuggling, cleaning up messes, playing with toys, going to parks, reading books, fixing snacks, lunches, and dinners, dancing, singing, talking to an 8 month old, and more love than I could have dreamed of.

Getting ready to get the dog :)

Hi mom!

After reading John 10:10 recently "I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly"  I am filled with much peace as I remember cradling Faye in my arms 8 months ago her spirit and peace touched our souls unlike anything we had ever felt and the all around reverence she has brought into our home is refreshing :) I love Heavenly Father for that and for sending them to me.


Faye still loves everything I have ever blogged about...so there is no change in that but there are new things that she enjoys. She just loves the world and to explore it (crawling and standing and is just about walking! certainly helps that) she's analyzes EVERYTHING and EVERYONE for minutes upon minutes. She falls and gets right back up and goes again...she rarely ever cries when she busts, she is my little nerves of steal. She has had a few crying falls but she has to learn and I just make sure she knows she is ok and loved.

She loves to sit and read with me and her most favorite thing to do is to turn the pages. With me or without me she will just sit and turn those pages for as long as her time gives her. This is how I kept her occupied on the plane actually, that and bathroom mirror, and a banana :)


Since she was 7 months she has been eating 3 meals a day, BF'g wise I still feed her the same as I always have 6-8 time a day, AND is eating 2 or 3 snacks a day in between all that! she is my little lover of food and her nickname is "little birdy"...picked by my lovely mother in law :) She was given this name because whenever she eats she opens her mouth SO FLIPPEN wide that it's like a little baby bird and I am NOT KIDDING HERE she eats without breathing she eats so fast your head seriously spins LOL no one can believe it. She has loved everything she has ever eaten other than chicken and turkey...which in my opinion is because it's so thick it would make me gag too...plus it smells like tuna. She eats oranges, bananas, and grapes with me :) but the oranges and grapes she does use the munchin baby food eater...but she lovesssssssssssssssssss it. She drinks lots of water now as well...YUM

Here she is skyping with her dad from NJ :)

 pucker up little one LOL

Her bed time has now moved earlier to between 5:30 and 6 and still sleeps until 6-7 in the morning. Her choice NOT MINE...some people question me and it's kind of frustrating but I can't help it if I put her down and she doesn't wake up...I do not wake sleeping babies if there is no need..and I work around her schedule not her around mine so that being said yes she sometimes is asleep by 5:30pm :) Her new thing when she sleeps is she puts all her stuff animals and blankets around her and often times her head ends up on top of one of them as if it's a pillow. LOL.

nap time here in NJ...she is laying on top of elmo with her bear, frog, dog, and of course her blanket all up in her business haha

She loves the ABC song in sign language, wheels on the bus, 6 little ducks, 5 little ducks, peek a boo(I guess because all these songs are animated)....whistling...really to be honest she is just a plane old lover of every song and anything that has to do with dancing and music. Her biggest tickle spots these days is under chin and making her laugh is easy when we say the rhyme "this little piggy." she really enjoys examining paper as well and making them crunch. I am a lover of free toys...so you go FaYe.

Her newest thing though when we are doing our soothing time is that before she loved to be held close but now she wants that and as well as to be cheek to cheek. I hope it will always be that way. She is giving kisses now to not just people but to stuffed animals as well...SO CUTEEEEEE.

She is our little 4 toothed happy laughing angel, everyone thinks she is just the happiest little baby they have ever seen and we just love it.

she loves her grandmother it was so awesome to see them bond

she really really loved her and preferred her the whole time we were there. LOL

 and she loved Kelly but Kelly was scared of her...weird LOL

Skyping with Dad :)
