Babies are amazing!

Goodmorning Everyone!

God has blessed us with a wonderful new day filled with cute little feet walking all over my floors with pride! What a sweetie! Little Faithflower is now walking and talking more each day. Its so much fun! Her latest words have been duck (for Donald and Daisy Duck from Disney), Noodle for spaghetti, and Mickey (for who else? Mickey Mouse of course.).
She does almost all the cute hand motions from the Wiggles shows like its nothing and loves it when JH or I join in with her at performing these silly and sometimes exhausting routines. :) She thoroughly enjoys finger plays such as Itsy Bitsy Spider and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Her smile of delight is infectious. Gotta love it!
Her climbing ability is something to pass on though...man does she give me a heart attack sometimes! :) Little Faithflower can walk fast, climb up onto ANY chair, couch or bed in the house and within seconds is either typing on my computer and trying to work the mouse (probably searching for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse online) or is climbing on top of the desk ready to stand up on it. Yikes! I have to be on my toes constantly with this one! She is truly a treasure and a blessing from the Lord though. We love her to pieces and I'm sure she will grow into a wonderful lady living for Jesus.
Her newest antics have been standing on her head and looking through her legs at you upside down and laughing (I guess she thinks its funny that we are upside down when she is doing that). She also finds it amusing to climb into her high chair by herself without warning to let me know she is hungry. Or she will just take something off the shelf in the pantry and bring it to me and then point towards the kitchen and start babbling and walking in that direction as if she wants me to follow. If she wants to watch the Wiggles...she brings you a Wiggles dvd and points towards the tv babbling all the while like she is trying to verbally tell us want she wants. If she wants to watch Mickey mouse club house then she brings her Pluto or Mickey doll and points towards the tv or computer (we watch episodes on the computer too sometimes which is just as fun for her). If she needs her diaper changed, she starts playing with the diaper pail and calling for me or brings me a diaper and hands it to me while pulling on her pants. Smart kid. Might as well let mom change her than stay dirty, right? She may not speak too well yet but she communicates her needs loud and clear. :) Aren't babies simply amazing? God is so good. I love his handiwork at every age and stage of life and development. Its going to be a fun year 2008! I hope you are looking forward to your year ahead with eagerness too! Blessings to all. Next update is on the Joy of turning double digits (10)!
