Happy New Year and Happy 5th Month Bday Faith

Well Happy New Year to everyone! It has been a wonderful christmas season and Faith lucked out with a ton of toys and clothes. Faith really enjoyed opening gifts. I know many of you are saying she is only 5 months how does she know the difference. I saw it! I saw it in her eyes when I would put a present in front of her. Her eyes just got large and a big smile was plastered on her face. Faith would grab the paper while I pulled to revel the musical light show hiding under the paper we call her new toys.
Daddy and I have spent a lot of quality time with Miss Faith over the past 2 weeks and it has been wonderful but... tomorrow starts back to the working grind and she gets to spend time with Mia and grandma again. They have made it very clear that they miss her tons and can't wait to spend time with her again.
Faith has been recognizing her toys are loves to play with them as well as grab them and talks to them. She loves to sit in her pink tea bouncer while she watches Nick Jr. She will last a good 30 minutes to 45 minutes sitting in the bouncer before she realizes that she is hungry or tired. Faith has also been eating in her big girl high chair and she loves it. Last night daddy was watching football and was going to leave so I asked him to put Nick Jr and her head turned so fast once daddy put her TV on. Then she was glued while she ate her dinner.
January is going to be busy for all of us but I am hoping she sits up soon, she can stand on her own as long as she is holding onto something. Of course it doesn't last long but it is a beginning. For everyone who has not had the grace of meeting Faith she has had very strong legs since the days she was born and she loves to stand and sit up, more so then lay down.
After Christmas Aunt Katy stayed in town to hang out with Faith so we went to the zoo for the 1st time and Faith seemed to like it but I think she enjoyed looking at the million people that were there as well.
Don't forget Faith's Baptism is January 22nd at 8am at St Ann's Catholic Church. Hope to see you!

Way too Long!!

I know everyone it has been way too long since my last post. It has been very busy lately. No excuse right!
Well since Halloween she has grown. At her 4th appointment on Dec 6th Faith weighed 16lbs and 2oz. She was 26 inches long. The doctor said she is the length of a 7 month old. On Saturday she will be 20 weeks old already. On Christmas day she will be 21 weeks old. Hard to imagine that on Christmas last year I was 10 weeks pregnant. Time definatly changes in year.
We started feeding her cereal on November 17th. I spoon fed her from the beginning and she took to it very well. I gave her spoon fed cereal every evening and cereal in the bottle for breakfast. After the 4 month appt the Doctor said we could start feeding her veggies or fruit. So on December 9th we stated feeding Faith green beans. WOW! Faith loves the green beans. She ate them so fast each night. Then we moved on to carrots. She like the carrots but not as much as the green beans. Daddy boils or steams the the veggies and purees them for little miss Faith. Which is nice because our freezer is full of frozen veggie puree.
We put up our Christmas tree and Faith helped somewhat decorate the tree but she likes the lights. She really enjoys watching Nick Jr. All I have to do to get stuff done is put her in her bouncer in front of the TV and put on Nick Jr. and she s a happy camper most of the time. Her favorite shows are Yo Gabba Gabba, Fresh Beat Band and Wonder Pets.
The beginning of December I had to go to Vegas for work, so Faith stayed home with Daddy. Just ask Trevor how that went. Lets just put it that he was really glad I got home.
We are looking forward to her 1st Christmas and can't wait to get a visit from Santa.

Week 14

Hi everyone! Sorry it has been way too long. Is it possible to get even busier? Faith gets bounced around day to day. Going to Mia's, going to grandma's, coming home. Then all over again.
We have been lucky to spend lots of time with Daddy. He loves her a ton. Trevor is even starting to pick out outfits for Faith on his own. So proud!!
On Halloween we went to Uncle Nick, Aunt Caitlin and Cousin Brooklyn's house to join in the Halloween celebration. Faith was able to go trick or treating for the first time and got crappy candy. :( Good thing she doesn't eat it yet. That afternoon she rolled over for the first time. YEA!!! Although that has been the only time. She is getting close though. Slowly she is starting to like being on her stomach. Oh by the way she was on her back and rolled to her tummy.
Not much going on to report on so far other than that. Oh Faith spent the day with Uncle Greg and Aunt Allison on Sunday and she had a blast. I can tell through her smile.
Faith loves walks in the park and lots of love and kisses. She also loves to watch Nick Jr.. Fresh Beat Band keeps her attention and so does Yo Gabba Gabba.
More Later! Thanks for checking in!

Well it has been 3 whole months already. She loves to look at things and loves her TV. She has been spending time with the grandparents during the week while we work. Good for them bad for us. :(
Nothing else new but she is starting to wear size 2 diapers ALREADY!!!!

11 Weeks

Did you know there were 5 weekends in October? Well when the church told me that the baptism was going to be the 4th weekend of the month, that ment to me the last weekend of the month. But, guess what that was wrong, that makes the 4th weekend this weekend coming up. Soooo that means that can't happen the godparents and one grandpa can't make it. The NEW date will be on my 30th birthday. JANUARY 22nd, 2011. 8am! Please make the change in your calendar. Sorry for the confusion.
Well I am offically back at work full time and wish I was home with miss Faith. :( I am sure I am with all the working moms.
Last weekend we had Grandpa Larry's Funeral service and Party and Miss Faith was able to spend alot of time with the family. She hopped from arm to arm to arm and loved every minute of it. Sorry I don't have any new pictures added but I left my camera at work today.
Faith's milestones- She smiles ALOT! when she lays on a pillow or sits in her carrier she trys to do a crunch or sit up, she loves watching TV, and she smiles at toys :)
Faith sleeps wonderfully through the night if anyone was wondering. She goes to sleep at 9ish and is alseep till 7am ish. I (we) are so lucky!

10 Weeks

Well we are back from San Diego. We had a very eventful last week. I went back to work last Wednesday (that was hard). Trevor wasn't home to be apart of the go back to work fun but he wished he was. Last Thursday night Faith scared the crap out of us. I was washing dishes and turned to talk to Faith who was in her carrier next to me and she was beat red  and not breathing. So I rushed to lean her forward and still not breathing. So I flipped her over in my hand and pounded heavily on her back till she gasped for air. I then got her up and she burped and started wheezing. I then took her to the pediatric ER and they diagnosed her with acid reflux, Which she has had since she was 3 weeks old. We now have to get 2 more tests done in November. The upper GI and the modified Barium Swallow. Now fo the fun stuff. Friday Faith and I flew to San Diego. Her first flight and it was wonderful and smooth. Daddy drovve done and stayed till Sunday morning with us. While we were there Meggs and Jamie came to see Faith. Brooklyn was able to play with Sharlee on the beach (or as Brooklyn says the Birch). Saturday evening Mom, Caitlyn, Nick, Brooklyn, Faith, and I went to the exchange for shopping. When we went to the 2nd exchange we stayed in the car and as my mom and Nick came back Faith decided to poop. As I started cleaning it up, I turned for a second to put diaper in a bag and Faith decided to continue to poop and pee. It got all over!!!! So Caitlyn, mom and I had to get her undressed (mind you this is in the van on a seat). As I picked her up my mom went to pull her pants down and then she decided to spit up all over me, my mom and herself. That was a very messy moment and one we will never forget. All in all it was a wonderfiul trip. Now Faith gets to meet ALOT of family this week for Grandpa Larry's service.

9 Weeks

Well on Friday we had the 2 month appt and Miss Faith has grown!!!! She is 12.3 pounds and 24" long. The doctor said she is the length of a 4 month old. She has to wear 3-6 month PJ's. Saturday Faith spent the morning and most of the afternoon with Daddy. They had fun watching sports and doing Daddy stuff. Today Daddy had to go out of town so miss Faith misses Daddy.
Tonight we went to dinner with Auntie Amee, Grandma, Aunt Kristy and Grammy at Euro Cafe. Faith smiled a whole bunch for everyone to see.
