My Little Faith Nydegger

Faith was tagged by her cousin Odie!!!  I was so excited to write about such a sweet girl and she's at such a fun age.  I decided that I can and will call Faith my little Faith as long as I can because I've just realized how fast she is growing up.  I don't know if it is a third child thing or just the little personality she has but this girl thinks she is as big as Nikki and Christian.  She follows them around and mimics everthing they say and do.  Cute to an extent right!!! She's going to be the child moms say when she's in school and hear some of the things she says "Oh she must have older brothers and sisters".  I've said that a time or two with some of Nikkis friends, not that its good or bad, they just learn different things sooner not being the oldest.  Anyhow, I digress... I think that is what really is so great about this stage is watching how much she picks up on everyday.   

Well, let me start from the beginning.  Faith came into our lives November 7, 2006.  She was sent to our family at a time that the Lord knew we needed her.  She has been a blessing to us  from the day she was born.  She has always been a very good natured girl and just brought a special spirit with her to this Earth.  We couldn't be happier about having her.

Now thats not to say she hasn't caused me many hours of missed beauty rest and that we don't have our battles cause we DO!!!  This girl has an opinion and feels entitled to share it with you whether you want to hear it or not.  She just recently started saying "NO, NO, NO...no tanks"   in response to a variety of questions.  Point taken Faith!!!  Hey at least she remembered her manners! :)  

Some of the other hilarious things that come out of her mouth:  the other day she had a diaper rash and while changing her diaper I said "Oh darnit"  She spent most of the remaining day pointing to her backside saying in a pathetic little voice "darnit"  Plain as day, we even get a dangit out of her every once in awhile.  Remember, 3rd child!  I love when she calls people by their names, I'm not sure what it is about that that I find so endearing some of her faves are Gikki (Nikki)  Bra (for brother Christian) Bampa, Gamma, Mauci (Aunt Marci), Unc Ty etc, etc...  Like I said their is just something sweet about her calling your name.  Today she started saying "I itch"  it sounded so funny coming out of her mouth!  Oh and thats another thing she likes to say "I punny (funny) mom" I love this girl!!!

Some of the things she likes to do:  well as I mentioned before she loves to follow big sis and big brother everywhere, so anything they are doing she wants to do.  She loves riding in Nikkis little hot wheels truck and Christian cruises around with her on his little tikes 4 wheeler and she can't get enough of it.  She loves to jump on the trampoline and because of it she can jump- two feet off the ground- too, not to brag or anything :)  She is very coordinated though, must be those Arnell genes!!!  I think I'm so funny...   

Some of her funny faces...I wish I had some pictures but I don't think I do but she does what Christian likes to call her Freak out Face.  It started when something she was eating was too hot, her whole face shakes slightly with her fists clenched out in front of her.  She now does it on call and had Grandpa Arnell laughing pretty good a few weeks ago.  The other she likes to do is her Grumpy face.  Like her freak out face we have her trained quite well so she can now pull these looks on demand, we get a good laugh out of it!   

Needless to say she is an absolute joy to have in our home. She has Daddy and both her Grandpas wrapped around her little fingers, as well as pretty much the rest of the people shes around often.  We love her to pieces and I feel more than blessed to be her mother!  

PS Sorry I can't seem to make my pics post down the page with the message.  They all seemed to show up at the top and I'm too tired to try and figure it out tonight.
