Faith you are 11 months old! In just a few short week baby girl you will be 1 year old! I can not believe how the time has passed but today I will celebrate and savor the amazing 11 month old baby girl you are!
We are not sure exact height and weight for you as we won't go to the doctor for a month but I would guess you are around 25-26 inches and 20 lbs. You are just so darn cute and itty bitty! You have super long legs and some think you may be a volleyball player one day like your mama was!
You are still my little baldy! You have very little hair but I could care less! In fact I love your little mullet you have going on. You know short on top, party in the back ? ;) I think you are absolutely beautiful just the way you are!
You have 8 teeth now 4 on top and 4 on the bottom! You love using your teeth to bite everything. You even love biting the smallest of snacks like cheerios! I think you like the sound it makes when you crunch into something and it is just to cute! You also LOVE chewing on ice and would probably eat it all day long if we let you!
You are pretty much over baby food and onto big girl food only! This month you tried blueberries and just feel in love with them!!! We put them on your high chair and you love picking them up with your fingers and then eating them. You often manage to get the skin off and spit the skin out ! You also love eating things like a big girl!
Well I guess the most major of changs this month is we are now residents of Austin Texas! It has been a BIG adjustment to say the least. You my little darling have been doing wonderful considering all you have been through this month. So many changes and things happening and you are a champ! Mama on the other hand is really struggling. Being alone out here with you while Daddy is at work all day has been incredibly hard. You love Mama so much and because of that Mama never gets 2 seconds to herself to even go to the bathroom! As much as I love it I also could use a timeout myself every once in a while. Mama is doing her best to meet new friends and we have joined many many mom groups of which we only like about 1. But its still nice to get out a little and talk to some adults and you be able to have some play time with babies your age.
We're also trying to explore the area a little and have found a couple neat spots to hang out like Lake Travis which is only 5 miles down the road.
Thankfully also you are a complete water baby! You absolutelyy LOVE splashing around in the pool and anything having to do with water!
One thing Mama and Dada really do love about being out here is our new home! It is so beautiful! Its a 3 bedroom apartment but its really new and we have a beautiful pool, a playground right outside our door and you now have your own bathroom even!
You have started taking an interest in TV so we are very careful to make sure you aren't really too into it but you love dancing to it! you enjoy " The Wonder Pets" and "Dora" the most! nd of course whenever they sing you go crazy with your dance moves!
Another great thing we did this month was after only 10 days in Austin we headed to Miami Florida to meet the rest of your family! You met aunts, uncles, and LOTS of cousins! It was such a amanzing thing being there with so many little one who all joined the family in 2009! It was so amazing to see my little dream come true meeting her family!
We went to the seaquarium, had many BBQ's, hung out in the pool and had a really great time! You also did incredibly awesome on the plane ride home with Mommy and actually slept the first hour in my arms which you haven't done since you were a new born!
Faith you are so loved. Loved beyond what any words could tell you. And as we approach the 1 year mark of your birth I still marvel every day in the miracle that you are! We love you Baby!!!!

She is absolutely beautiful! love how she rocks the mullet too! :)
I can't believe that she is almost 1 year old! Where does the time go?
Have missed your updates, not like your busy or anything. LOVED the video of Win dancing to Dora - it is a Classic! All the pictures were great. Thanks for passing them on
I so can't believe Faith is almost 1!! I remember praying for you as you were beginning the adoption process. Love all those beautiful smiles of hers. I can tell she's loved and adored, its so evident! Happy 11 months!
Wow! Has it really been a almost a year??? Crazy!! She keeps getting cuter and cuter!
Look me up next time you're in South Florida! xoxo
Oh my gosh. Has it really been almost a year already?? Time is flying. She is SO cute! Love the pic showing all her teeth. :-)
It is crazy how the time does fly! I keep reminding myself Paige will be 2 soon! makeing sure it does not sneak up on me. MAN! She is just so beautiful!
I hope you are getting settled. I can for sure relate with moving to a new place and having to find friends! It's just so hard to find people you mesh with AND have kids about the same age so you can actualy do stuff together! I will pray that the Lord put some amazing people around you that you can form that special bond with!
That dress in the first picture with the bow... OH MY GOODNESS so precious. She's adorable, so full of smiles. And so cute dancing to Dora. Adorable!
Glad she's settling in so well. There's an adoption conference in Oct, you might be able to meet some moms in the area if you get connected with whomever is hosting it. Just a thought, from someone that knows what it's like to be looking for friends.
