WOW it's been awhile since I have posted! As you can see my girl is definitely growing up! She started walking at 8.5 months and has been going strong ever since. She loves to sing and tries to count to 5. She also is a big sorter/stacker. She loves to line up all her toys and stack anything she finds. Apparently my husband is like this too so I guess she gets it from him!
Faythe is 20 months old now. It's hard to believe that in less than 4 months she'll be 2! We're going to start trying for our second (and last) soon so that there isn't too much of an age difference between them. Faythe is in her halloween costume in this pic. She loved trick-or-treating! When she got her first treat (it was a purple lollipop) she said, "WOW!!!" it was so cute! I'm home from work with her today as she got her first touch of the flu yesterday and last night. She had a 100.9 temperature and was throwing up all night. Luckily the medicine seemed to take this morning and she's doing much better. Her fever feels way down and she even had a bottle and some toast.
So an update from last post...we were able to go to Illinois for Christmas. It was a lot of fun! This year is the Vancouver Christmas so we won't be going to Illinois again until next year some time. Faythe and I went to Illinois in May to suprise my Mom for her 60th birthday. That was great! Very short trip though as I was only home for basically 3 days. That was definitely long enough for me to be separated from my hubby tho! I've never been very good about handling time away from him since we've been together. I remember going to Illinois for 2 weeks alone to get things ready for the wedding and I thought I would die, ha! I can't help it, I love my boy!
I've been full force into Everquest 2 since it came out in Nov 2004. The models didn't end up bothering me as much as I thought they would and now for their first birthday they introduced these "Soga" character models which look more like Final Fantasy-type characters. They are much nicer so I've switched to those. For the first time in a RPG, I am not Saffyrre as my main character! I was initially but Sony (the makers of EQ2) really messed up my class that I liked to play (Enchanter) and so I stopped playing Saffyrre and started fresh with Faeyth. Unfortunately Faythe was taken so I had to go with an alternative spelling. Although if they ever offer first name changes like they did in the original Everquest, I think I'm going to change her name to Saffy. Right now Faeyth is a lvl 55 Woodelf Troubador (Good Bard). I'm really having a lot of fun with the game. Unfortunately my housework suffers as a result lol.
Hooray for Christmas is coming! I am so excited for it this year. I think partly because my Mom is spending Christmas with us and partly because Faythe is older so she will have lots of fun this year. I can't wait to decorate the tree with her and her see it for the first time with the lights on. I can't wait to have Faythe help me make cookies! I know she's less than 2 yrs old but she is a pretty capable little kid! Heck she's even polite, she says "thank you" and "please" and "excuse me" when she burps! She says "uh oh" when she farts but that's another story, ha! She just started telling "Knock! Knock" jokes yesterday. Not sure where she got those from!
Back to Christmas! I can't wait to see Faythe on Christmas morning with the tree full of presents and hear her say "WOW!" as she does to all things exciting. I really wanted to cross-stitch some Christmas ornaments this year but so far I've only been able to find 2!! Yes, that's right! 2!!! Dunno where all these Christmas Cross-stitchers come from that they literally clean them all out when they first come in! Sigh....hopefully I will find more as these two have already been spoken for!
Well time to grab me some breakfast and see if I can get Faythe to eat some more toast!
