Faith - 4 Month Stats!

Faith had her 4 month pediatrician appointment at the beginning of January. Dr. Sangree was soooo happy to see Faith again and said she looked GREAT! She was very impressed with all of those wonderful, healthy baby rolls she was sporting! Faith was 25" long and 15 pounds and 5 ounces. This put Faith in the 75% for height and 90% for weight. Faith had to get a couple shots which she was not so happy about but after a quick cry, she was back to her content self. Once again the vaccines wiped her out for a good two days. We will see Dr. Sangree again at the beginning of March for Faith's 6 month.....then again in April for my 3 year visit.

Faith and Noah!

Just a couple of recent pictures of me holding my baby sis in our pj's!!!

Faith in the Bebepod!

Faith's first time sitting in her bebepod!

Woodpecker!

We had a woodpecker right outside our window the other morning and it was soooo loud but so cool!!! Can you see him in that tree, right where it branches off into two parts, to the left?!?! :)

First Time Finger Painting!

Go Browns!

The Browns are a little, or alot, harder to cheer for than the Buckeyes but my daddy is a very loyal fan so we will be too! Faith is the cutest Browns cheerleader anyone has ever seen and me, well, just put a headset on me and I would fit right in on the side lines!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!! We had a wonderful 2010 watching me turn into a little man and preparing for our precious arrival of our beautiful little girl, Faith. We feel so very blessed to have each other, good health, our loving families, and so much love! We are looking forward to the joys and memories that 2011 will bring! We had daddy's family over to celebrate New Year's Day and mommy took 1 picture (the picture taking is definitely different with the second child but mommy tries her best).

What a Warm Day to End 2010 With!

A very rare occurrence-a 50 degree day at the end of December in Cleveland, Ohio. We took full advantage of it and.....PLAYED OUTSIDE!!!! We took Faith for a walk in her stroller and I drove my truck! It was GREAT!!!!!!!

December 30, We Said Good-Bye to My Beloved Paci.

Mommy scheduled me a dentist appointment on December 30 and during the upcoming weeks approaching my dentist appointment mommy and I talked alot about the fact that my dentist, Dr. Parrish, may ask me for my paci. Mommy had been looking at my two front teeth alot and was a little paranoid that my paci was affecting them. Mommy told me that the dentist may say that paci is hurting my teeth and that we would have to give her paci so it stops hurting my teeth. December 30th came all too fast and the next thing I knew mommy, Faith, and I were driving to the dentist, paci in hand. :( At the dentist, Dr. Parrish said my teeth were just beautiful. The dental hygienist cleaned my teeth with the "tickly toothbrush" which I sat very still and opened very wide through. Then Dr. Parrish said it would be a good idea to give her my paci and in exchange for it she gave me the coolest electric fire truck toothbrush, with flashing lights, that I have ever seen!!! I also got to pick out not 1, not 2, but 3 prizes from the "treasure table." And lastly, mommy, daddy, and Faith took me out for an ice cream cone!!!

YUMMMM-EEEE!!!!!!!

The next few days without paci were interesting. Day 1: Nap time-cried for 1 hour resulting in no nap. Bedtime-went right to sleep (because I was exhausted). Day 2: Nap time-cried off and on for an hour and a half before falling asleep. Bedtime-went right to sleep. Day 3: Nap time-fell asleep within 10 minutes! I only asked where paci was a few times but I knew the answer.

Sweet Faith!

Faith has been sucking on her hand, searching for her thumb for a couple of months and she just found it (right after Christmas)! You should have seen the smile on her face when she found that thumb....actually you can...mommy took only a million pictures of it! :)

Faith is SO INCREDIBLY SWEET AND PRECIOUS and we are SO IN LOVE with her!!!!

Christmas!

Christmas morning FINALLY arrived! After all of the talk about Santa and his reindeer over the past month+, I was anxiously awaiting Christmas morning. The two things I asked Santa for were my big boy bed (which I knew was being stored down in our basement but I was asking that Santa bring it up from the basement into my bedroom) and scissors. Santa must have thought I was a very good boy this year because I received BOTH (and more)!!!! Santa brought my big boy bed up to my bedroom while I was in Dayton at Gammy and Poppy's. When we returned home on Thursday, December 23rd, I ran straight upstairs to see my big boy bed all set up in my room! I was SO excited and giddy about my bed. The rest of the evening, I would ask mommy and daddy if it was night-night time and go upstairs to look at my bed. When it was finally time for bed, I was so giddy, I just kept giggling and I was arranging all of my blankets and pillows over and over again and saying "okay, okay." I slept great the first night in my big boy bed! (Okay, well I guess I don't need to make a separate post about my big boy bed). :)

Back to Christmas morning. I woke up bright and early to find that Santa had come, eaten his cookies, drank his milk, and left lots of presents for Faith and me! Thank goodness for the reindeer dust/food that I sprinkled on our driveway on Christmas Eve to help the reindeer see our house!

I was very excited about my stocking this year and all of the goodies that Santa left in it! I was also excited to see what was in the boxes that I (or daddy) :) unwrapped!

Santa also brought Faith, Bailey, mommy and daddy some presents too!

After we finished opening presents we loaded up the car and headed to Aunt Kristi and Uncle Dustin's in Columbus where mommy's family was congregating to celebrate together! There we opened more presents and had a great time hanging out and playing!!!!

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve was celebrated at Aunt Stacey's house. Faith and I looked very cute in our Christmas Eve outfits that Nana bought us and I had ALOT of presents to open. I wasn't as into opening presents this year as mommy and daddy thought I would be. I actually preferred mommy and daddy to open them for me. I think next year will be there year where I rip through them all!!! :)
