Picture Update of our Growing Girl!

Faith is growing like a weed! It's pretty incredible. At our "well baby" checkup, she still measured in the 95% percentile...and above the 95th in height. She's also talking more and more and has come to love Elmo...which, surprisingly...I sort of enjoy myself :) We've been having lots of fun around here....Aunt Danielle, Uncle Weston, Reagan and Levi came to visit us, then Uncle Dan and Aunt DD. We miss them all already.

We've been going to the park alot, blowing bubbles, taking Faith's baby on daily walks and reading LOTS of books. Faith's vocabulary is expanding. Some of her most recent ad-ons are Elmo, amen (aaaaaaaahhhhmmMEN, aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhMEN...this is how it goes a the dinner table each night :) ), eye, up, etc. It's a miracle to watch her grow. Another new development has been "time out." :) She has visited time out a few times recently and it seems to be effective so far. She comes by her independent spirit naturally :)

Nate and I are plugging away at school. Nate's enjoying his classroom and still feeling more relaxed this year. He's also gearing up for the beginning of deer season. I'm absorbed in classes, but enjoying it. My classes this semester are the best they've been in the program. I have alot of applicable counseling classes that I'm especially enjoying. OH...and we're training for a 1/2 marathon. Yep. It's in a couple weeks. Danielle is meeting us in Omaha for it. We're really excited, but a little scared :) We'll let you know how it goes!

Reagan and Levi :)Aww. Sweet Levi.The cousins! Faith, Reagan and Levi. Danielle got the matching outfits. They are so cute!Faith and Aunt DD at Bass Pro shop. Notice Faith's shirt. Daddy was pretty excited about it when Aunt Danielle got it for Faith :)Faith and I went to an event here called Paws in the Park b/c she loves dogs. But, she wasn't too sure about this one.....she followed him around the whole park, but played shy when he tried to approach her. It was pretty humorous for me and the big dog.
Faith in her little pig tails. They are SO cute, but she really doesn't like it. We'll keep trying though :)

Blessings on your week!
