I've been meaning to show these videos for a while now, but the process can sometimes take a long time to upload them onto the blog. And so, by the time I finish the pics for the blog I'm just usually not in the mood to tackle the videos. However, it's not so bad if it's just one or the other (meaning pics or videos). Anywhooo, all that to say= ENJOY!

Another day in the life of Faith!
Faith is being a little shy about showing off her first mo hawk. She told me that if Dad had hair, he should wear it like this!:)
I have no idea what she's doing here...
She loves to stand up in the bath tub; I've explained how dangerous this is to her, but I guess I need to keep stressing the issue.
Standing and walking with assistance is ALL she wants to do these days. I don't think it's going to be much longer before she's officially walking on her own. We counted last night and she can stand for 13 seconds by herself! It kind of makes me sad... I never knew how fast time REALLY FLIES with children in your life.
My in laws found this great little toy that Faith can either push or ride on. This is going to speed up her mobility skills in a hurry. It didn't take her but a few seconds to figure out how to push this thing back and forth across the living room; and of course she got to ride around a lot thanks to Dad and Granny.
Mad driver coming through!!!! Can you see how excited Mrs. Raylene is in the background? I've seem to notice that grandchildren seem to have that effect on grandparents!
It was fun to run over Pop's feet I guess!
This little toy moves pretty fast because it's really light weight, so Faith Baby had to be quick on her feet to catch up (which is not hard for her)! She walks on her tippy toes and likes to move as fast as she can!
Needless to say, she loves this new purchase!
She had the cutest grin plastered on her little face; it was sooooo sweet.
We woke Daddy up Sunday morning dressed and ready for Sunday School; she was in the best mood! Daddy didn't mind getting woke up by his little angel; he rolled over with a big smile on his face!
Like I said= She was in a GREAT mood!
Sorry, I got a little out of order here.... more fun shots of Faith's new ride!
We went to my parent's house on Friday night and stayed over so we could get up early and go to the Hope Watermelon Festival 5k run on Saturday morning. It's only about a 30 min. drive from their house and we needed a babysitter, so Dad and Mom kept Faith for us, which they were really excited about. Jeff's parents met us at the festival and then drove on down to Stamps afterwards to visit a while. Here's the dads visiting about guns. Mr. Ronnie is holding Dad's most recent new purchase.
Faith is doing her favorite past time= walking!!
Jar lids and rings are always a hit at Nana's house.
Dad has a lot of guns, probably enough to start up his own little militia! I was raised up around guns and hunting and you know, all that stuff. Well, Jeff wasn't. I had been asking him to buy a gun for me to keep in the house since I'm there most of the time now with Faith. He didn' t particularly like the idea, but he did some research and we ended up getting one several months ago. We've shot it a few times since then, but we like to stay familiar with it, so we did a little target practice at my parents Saturday afternoon. Here's Dad setting up our paper plate targets!
Here's MY MAN :) looking all MANLY shooting one-handed! Impressive!
I hope this blog doesn't scare my readers off.... That's Dad's new gun; it has a tad bit more bite than our revolver.
I won't embarrass anybody by announcing who hit all of their shots and who didn't...
OK, maybe I will!
But he does LOOK good!
" I know I hit that shot?!"
Here's Faith wearing the medals from the race in Hope, AR. We got 2 free watermelons just for running. And I got that ridiculous looking "vented" running cap!:) I turned it around backwards thinking it wouldn't look so goofy, but I think I might have made it worse! Anyways, Jeff won 3rd in his division and I got 1st in mine. With Jeff turning 30 recently it opened up a whole new level of competition. I know it sounds weird but 30 to 45 y/o runners are SERIOUS! I guess they' ve had more experience and their kids are older, which allows them more time for practice, but whatever the case, it definitely makes it harder to place in the top 3. I'm glad I'm still below that 30 mark, or else I'd probably never bring home a medal! We watched another "kiddie" run while we were there, and Jeff said he was getting Faith to run in it next year!? I'm looking forward to the day that she really can run with us.
Granny brought her home a shirt from the festival. She's our biggest fan!
Zorro gettin' a little lovin' from the baby.
Here is my sweet one pushing around the laundry basket. What is it with kids and laundry? Faith loves to sit down with me and "fold" (yeah right) clothes. More like "unfold" everything I do! I love it though!

Pool Parties & Baby Showers
Tyler had his B-day party on Saturday in Paris at the Country Club; it was Faith's first time in a pool. You can't tell by this picture but I think she liked it! She floated around in her little "boat" like a big girl.
She really liked the rings in front of her on the boat.
I love family shots like this one! I could have never in my entire life dreamed up a better family than the one that God has blessed me with!
I'm saying "no no" as Faith really gets close to pulling my earring out.
Just a quick pic of those baby blues...
Faith chit-chatted with Aunt Judy for a little while.
Jeff is making a "boat" sound= check out those puckered lips.
And here's the birthday boy! Happy Birthday again Tyler T!
Do we have to get out already Dad?
We had a baby shower for a friend of mine at work the other day. Here's Stacy reluctantly posing for me. I have never seen such a group of camera shy people in all my life! Nobody would let me snap a shot at them! Oh well, at least I got the pregnant lady!
She got tons of gifts!
That's Kali our unit clerk in the background.
Here's Mrs. Mary babysitting for me. Notice how she tried to get out of the picture!
Donna is keeping her occupied here; Felicia is acting like she doesn't see me and Teresa is pretending to talk on the phone. In case you're wondering how we have parties in a hospital recovery room setting, we all take turns watching the others' patients until everyone gets a chance to at least eat a piece of cake. It just so happened that on this particular day, the schedule was relatively light, so that always helps! Since having Faith, I only work PRN, which is pretty much when they need me or when I need extra hours. I usually work 2 days a week which gives me plenty of time with the baby.

We're 9 months old now!
This was a feeble attempt to get 9 month pictures at home. Didn't turn out the way I saw it in my mind, but I'll cherish them anyway!:) I'm making an appointment soon with a professional!
Kudos to them if they can keep this child still!
At least Faith's enjoying herself!
She wasn't too thrilled at 1st about being placed in a basket...
but then she realized it was kind of cool!
Ok, realllll cool!
I was feeling real proud of myself while these smiles were coming, but they only lasted, oh, about 30 full seconds!
And then, it ended.:(
No really Mom, I want out.
I bribed her and stole a few more moments of pic time! But none that were blog worthy!:)
Daddy and Faith have play time after Dad comes home from work. Here's a few father/daughter pics!
The itsy, bitsy spider crawled up Faith Sydney's leg...
And bit her on the neck! And man, it was funny!!!!!
Faith plays rough sometimes. Here she is pinching her Dad's cheek; she really does have some strength in those little fingers= look at Jeff's face!
Daddy is sooo much fun!!!!!!
We had visitors on Sunday afternoon. Tyler and Taylor stopped in to say "hi"!
Great picture of brother and sister here!
Taylor and Faith played on our exercise ball for a while; it was a blast to beat on it over and over again!
I told you she plays rough sometimes. Speaking of.... I had no idea that we would have to start disciplining sooooo early!!!! But you can just see those wheels turning when I tell her "no no"; it's like she's saying to herself, "Hmmm, I wonder what Mom will do if I touch this anyway?" It's amazing how smart these little people are!
Ahhhh...
Mrs. Raylene made Faith a little sundress made out of a pillow case! Very, very cute! I was quite impressed seeing as how I can barely sew a button back on correctly.
Thank you Granny! We'll be looking for more material for you to make another!
She's finally getting use to playing in her play pen without crying as soon as I walk away. Thank goodness!
It helps that the sides of the pen are incredibly tasty!
I'll get down on the floor and jump up at her for a game of peek-a-boo here and there, which is always a hit!
