Faelyn is 15 months and has some news for everyone!!


So listen up!
Faelyn is 32" tall and weighs 23 lbs.
She has ball, bird, Nana, and cup to her vocab. She has added both "night-night" and Airplane to her ASL vocab.

We are eagerly waiting for November when Gma, Uncle Karl, Aunt Meck, and Cousin Ainsley are coming out to visit. Can't you see how excited we are...


Alright- maybe Daddy is a little too excited...

there will be more to come so keep your eyes and bookmarks open.
thanks to all and we'll chat soon.

Faelyn was very excited to see her Oma again. Christi came out to visit in mid September. Boy did we all have fun. more pictures to come


And now some sweet pictures



look how much she loves her Oma!

Well hello there!





















Let me spin ya a yarn in my rocker...gather 'round

Enough of that weirdness. Wanted to share some great moments in the last few months.

Her Hair is getting so long.

















And she is getting more and more helpful.

Thanks to all and we'll chat soon.

14 Months today! and she has never been sassier.
Faelyn is now a pro at walking, running, and falling.
She is now out of her 12 months clothing (and straight into 18) and a shoe size of a whopping number 5. She says with regularity "Mama", "Dada", "Toe", "What's that"(Saah?), and "Thank You"
The other day she said "boat" and "bird"
She also said "eye" this evening during bath time.
Faelyn loves making sounds. She has an elephant sound, a kitty cat sound, and a monkey sound. She will make these sounds when we ask her..."Faelyn, what does a monkey say?" (we are trying and trying to get video of this!!!)
She is doing some signing as well. she knows milk, water, mama, all done, and swing. She also gestures to get her teeth brushed and when she wants to get picked up. Today she told Mama that her shoes were too tight by kicking her feet and pointing to her mouth (which we know has been hurting). we are quite impressed.

To celebrate these events we had pictures taken. enjoy!




















A photo shoot? for me?





















The whole family in a GAP ad...





















And Faelyn being glamorous.

Thanks to all and we'll chat soon.

Faelyn has some favorite toys and we would like to share them with you

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FAELYN!

June 26th marked Faelyn's first birthday. She is walking and running like a pro, slowly but surely getting a mouthful of teeth, and loves watermelon and grapes. She is definitely finding her own attitude and voice. Thanks to all! enjoy some pictures from this wonderful day!

We also had a wonderful visit with Faelyn's GiGi (Sara's Gramma) Faelyn had a great time and it was an opportunity to get four generations together for a picture.
