This my new favorite picture! As Lee and I were driving home yesterday we spotted a few trees that were absolutely beautiful. As we passed it I told Lee that in the morning I was going to head to that spot with my little zebra chair and try to get a few photos of Faith. It wasn't until I got there that I noticed a beautiful old house that is absolutely amazing! I would love to take a peek inside. If I only knew the history behind it. The old iron picket fence and stone wall is perfect for a photo opt.

Yesterday a very talented friend who is a photographer took family pictures. I am hoping that she was able to capture a few good ones. Faith didn't slow down a bit. She ran non-stop that whole time. It was challenging to say the least to get a 19 mo. old to sit down for a second. Hopefully I can post a few pics of the fam. soon. Peyton is only about 6 weeks out! I cant believe how fast time has gone. Life is about to be much crazier!!

Taking a walk

Faith would spend every moment outside if she could. We try and go out at least one time a day if not more. I am going to dread when the time comes that it is too cold to go outside.


Faith enjoys walking Copper these days. I am waiting for the day when Copper takes off with Faith in tow. Yesterday we walked Copper almost a mile. Faith about out walked me!

Faith's vocabulary is really increasing. She is putting two words together now. The other day when we were at the doc for her wellness checkup the doctor was impressed that she was doing two step commands and putting two words together. She was in the 15% in weight and 80% in height. Tall and thin. She will appreciate that when she is older.

life is never dull

If only I had of grabbed my camera.......

This morning when I got out of the shower I heard Faith saying hi, hi, hi..... I went in the closet to see what she was doing and found that she had pulled out her baby scale and was lying in the scale with a whole box of triscuits poured over her. She had a big smile on her face while munching on a triscuit. She was proud that she had served herself breakfast while lounging on the scales....... Its one of those moments when you say to yourself, "what is she thinking".....

Trick or Treat

Halloween 2010 was a fun one with Faith! She discovered suckers. If you notice, every picture I took envolves sucker. Mom and Pop came up for homecoming this weekend. This was Pop's second year in a row to come up on Halloween. We took Faith to the square on Friday afternoon. By the time we left I think she had taken out 3 suckers and accomplished getting stickiness on all three of us. So note to self, if you want to win my daughter over just bring her a sucker.

Sweet as can be!
Our friends Tom and Stella. Loved the costume!

Priceless!

Our sweet friend Harper and Faith. Harper lives across the street. Faith and Harper love to play togther.

shopping

Faith loves to put anything and everything into her baby stroller and wheel it around the house. I thought it was time to get her a shoppping cart this week. She was giving me a "thumbs up"!

On the GO!

Time to feed the ducks!

Making sure the geese aren't coming to steal her cracker

Faith has started wanting to put makeup on. Its hard to see her makeup brush. Wish I had her natural glow...

Picking a pumpkin for Peyton

who needs a playset when you have a gas meter??

dressed for sucess!

Faith amazes me everyday. She is really starting to be able to help me out. She has really taken interest in taking care of Copper. Everytime Copper needs more water she brings the bowl to me. She also takes it upon herself to go in the laundry room and fill Copper's food bowl up. I think she is going to be a big help with Peyton. Or at least thats my hope!

She has started putting two words together. Mostly bye bye daddy or hi daddy...... We went down to LR this weekend and she started saying for grandparents names too! Cant believe my little girl is 19 months!

room in progress...

I have been working on Faith and Peyton's rooms for weeks now. It is a very slow process seeing that I have to do things when Faith is asleep. I had these buffet lamps since college. In college I used them in my bedroom. I had a black comforter so I glued a black boa (sp) to them. The feathers were cute then, no so much anymore...... I needed some lamps for Faith's room so this is what I cam up with.....

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I spray painted the lamp bases and the shades. The colors are a little off in the photo. The shades are a butter yellow now and the bases are heirloom white. I added some beaded trim to complete the look.
