Daddy's birthday, Faith's first roadtrip and wedding...

Well, this week was a busy one!! Sean's birthday was on Saturday, and it was Faith's first time to celebrate with him!! We decided to have the main celebration at home on Friday night, since we were leaving Saturday morning to go to Stephanie's wedding in Haskell. Sean loved his birthday! We got him a toolbox, a tool set, some knee pads, and a new pair of dress shoes. He also had a cute little cake! He loved everything!! Faith was excited as well ;) Then, on Saturday morning, we left bright and early for Haskell to attend Stephanie's wedding. We were worried how Faith would do, both at the wedding and on the road, but she surprised us! She was a WONDERFUL baby!! Didn't cry at all at the wedding, and did great on the road, both there and back!! Stephanie's wedding was beautiful, and Faith was adorable! Here are a few pictures to share....it was a great weekend!! James & Leslie will be down for the 4th, and I'll post more pictures then of Faith's first Fourth of July!! Hope everybody has a safe holiday!!

Love,
Sean, Liz & Faith!!

4 1/2 months....First Father's Day :)

Father's Day was wonderful!! :) Sean enjoyed his gifts and cards for his first Father's day, and Faith was absolutely adorable during the church service. Faith is growing like a weed....look at her pictures!! It's crazy how fast she is growing up....makes mommy sad!! This weekend is Stephanie's wedding so I'll post more then!! Hope everybody has a great week! :)

4 months!

Wow...today our little princess is 4 months old! I can NOT believe she is growing this fast. I know every mom says that...but it's true. It feels like last week we were coming home from the hospital and spending our first night at home as a family of 3. It just all seems so surreal.

Faith is getting to be such a big girl now! :) She is such a happy baby, even though she is teething! This morning she got her 4 month check up and shots :( He says she is very healthy, and developing extremely well! :) She holds her head up perfectly now...can track an object as far as her little neck will let her, and we are working on sitting up unassisted. She can roll from belly to back and back to belly. She holds objects, throws them, and bangs on everything. She laughs out loud constantly, and loves to be tickled!! She LOVES her bathtime with mommy and daddy every night! She loves the tv....we keep her away from it as much as we can...but she does like to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse every once in a while!! We're going to be getting the "Your Baby Can Read" system and starting her on that soon! She also is such a girly girl! She LOVES clothes....she'll stare at certain outfits with a huge smile on her face! She loves her bows, and LOVES purses and shoes! She has a blanket with purses and shoes on it, and she just stares at each one very seriously. And she HATES being messy! She gets fussy if she has anything on her face or if she is wet. We literally go through a box of diapers a week! But she's the sweetest little thing and such a doll! We love her to pieces and are so proud of her!

Anyways, back to her appointment today...Dr Alami has decided he wants us to start her on cereal. Now I was COMPLETELY against this! I wanted to keep her strictly on formula until after 6 months! But Faith has such bad acid reflux and throws up constantly...and a lot of the time she just throws up straight clear acid :( So he said the rice cereal will help the formula stay down and help neutralize the acid in her tummy. So, tonight we gave it a shot. We first mixed a little bit and tried to feed it to her with the spoon. That didn't go over so well! She was okay with it at first, but once the cereal started getting on her face, she started getting angry! We tried to keep her face as clean as possible but she still wasn't having it! Oh well, it made for the cutest little video of her pouty face! So we put a teaspoon in her bottle as Dr. Alami instructed us to, and she took that. It still took us awhile to get her to sleep tonight, due to the fact she's teething, has a mild earache due to teething, and the fact that she had her shots today. Poor little thing!

Another new thing: Faith is very vocal! She loves music, loves to bounce and tries to dance when she is standing up! She also loves to sing and talk! She coos and babbles and smiles and laughs, and it is the most precious thing I have ever heard! I absolutely love it! :)

Well, I've written a book, so I'll update more later! Here are some pictures of her recently since I haven't posted in awhile! :)

Love,

Liz, Sean & Faith :)
