Thanksgiving 2009

Cousin Mike holding Faith for the first time.

Family eating at our table for the first time.

This year we had Thanksgiving at our home. It was so much fun!!!! I have always wanted to use my china; this was my first opportunity since we were received it as a wedding present. This is also our new table and chairs. My amazing mom restored the table and chairs. We found them both at Grace. The total for all the chairs and table was $150.00. It looks like a $1000 table and chairs. Thank you mom for all your help!

First feeding at 5 months

I am so glad something is working. I am feeding her before her last feeding of the night. It gets her tummy really full and she is ready for bed after she's nursed. We are thankful for the cereal.

Faith loves her cereal. She is so cute when she eats it. I really do have fun feeding her.

This was taken Thanksgiving morning.

Our sweet turkey baby.

I love being your mommy

I love my baby more and more each day.

I love your sweet baby red hair and eyebrows. When you get mad the hair gets even redder.

I love the sweet sneezes and hick-ups.

I love the way you grab your feet and put them in your mouth.

I love the way you close your hands in front of you; like you are going to say something like a princess.

I love bath time and how you always smile when I start to run the water.

I love rocking you to sleep and the way the paci moves in you mouth.

Im sure I could type a thousand more things I love about you,

but most of all I love being your mommy.

Aunt Corrie

Corrie has been such an amazing aunt. From the first minute Faith was born she has been there. I am so proud of Corr. She is graduating in December, getting married in March, and moving to Korea right after their honeymoon. I'm not really sure how we will adapt to living so far away, but I know we will see each other as much as possible. Faith is so blessed to have such a beautiful, sweet, and giving aunt!!

Growing

The past 2 weeks Faith has done so many new things I have to write them down before I forget:

- found her toes

-rolled over once

-advanced to her jump and go

-moved to her crib (tonight is the first time, we will see how it goes)

This is way too much in two weeks for me. Can we please slow down?
