I can't even begin to catch up from being gone so long...darn blogger locked me out of my account and I couldn't get back in.  Hopefully, whatever went so awry is no longer so.

Anyway...

Today is the eve of Faith's 19 month birthday.  I can't believe it's been that long since she came into my life, my world.  Each day I find myself falling more and more in love with her!

Ready for an update? Here goes!

Faith, what are you up to these days?


* You are WALKING full time now!   Your first fledgling, timid, stiff steps have progressed into your little legs taking you as fast as they can go all over the place.  

* You have four teeth now!   Two molars and two front teeth...all on the top.  So cute!

* You weigh just about 20 pounds...at last check just a few days ago, you were 19lbs 14oz.

* You are 30.75 inches tall.

* You are wearing 12-18 month sized clothing and size 3 shoes. (though the shoes are still a little big)

* You are learning more and more signs each day.   Some of the signs you know are: eat, milk, more, please, thank you, dog, all done, want, cookie, mama, daddy....we are working on more specific signs and I know you will pick them up fast!

* You don't verbalize a whole lot, but you totally understand what is being said to you and you usually respond appropriately.   You are very vocal, just not extremely verbal.

* You love to roam around the kitchen emptying out drawers and cabinets.   It's always funny to find you sitting in the drawer under the stove playing with the pot holders :)

* You love to sit and 'read' books...and you'll sometimes let me read them to you, but you prefer to hold the book and turn the pages yourself.

I am so very proud of your accomplishments!

Now, just some pictures of you lately:
