Faith is about 6 months old now. We have had more fun in the last six months than we could imagine. We are so grateful to God for the wonderful "Baby Girl" that He has given us. Janie and I put off having children for 4 years because we were enjoying each other and our freedom. The birth of Faith changed that, it took some of the freedom away. Ask me if I miss it, and I will tell you that sometimes I do. I enjoyed doing what I wanted when I wanted to do it. Ask me if I would trade back and I'll tell you never. The rewards of being a parent are far greater than the freedom I had.
Faith is getting so big. She decided at 6 months that she no longer wanted the bottle and now drinks from sippy cups. She is eating baby food(rather enthusiastically) three or four times a day. No teeth yet, and she hasn't started to crawl. She is so sociable and loves being around people. I am pricing shotguns because she is a beautiful little girl with a flirty attitude. At her last appointment she was 16 lbs. and 25 inches.
