And... She Sleeps!!

Life is absolutely wonderful!!! Maybe its because I just got back from the temple to do Baptisms for the Dead for the first time in my life! But I just love being there and the spirit that is there! Its like you walk in and just forget about the world. I love my husband and all that he does for us! He is amazing and I am so thankful that he holds the priesthood and can bring that into our home!

Yesterday was a rough day for us. We had been trying to plan a trip to the temple but Jeff needed to renew his recommend. He finally did and so we planned to go yesterday. My mom agreed to watch her and everything was all set. We hadn't been since Jan of last year!! So yesterday morning we got up and Jeff and I were fighting pretty bad. I remember thinking I don't want to go to the temple like this and not with him now. A few minutes after I thought that my mom called to say she forgot about a meeting she was going to go to and could no longer watch Faith. So great! Now we really couldn't go.. I couldn't find anyone to watch her last minute so I finally resulted to call my brother who does NOT watch babies. He plays with them but does NOT watch them. I told him I felt like we should go since we had been fighting and I felt like the adversary was really trying to keep us from going. To my surprise he agreed as long as I had her down for the night so she would most likely not wake up. Well that meant she would have to be in bed at 5:30pm and she woke up at 1:45 so that was nearly 4 hours for her to be up. WAY too long! She can barely last 1 hour and 45 minutes of being up. But I decided we had to do what we had to do. So after making up with Jeff we decided to take Faith to my brother's/mom's house so she wouldn't catnap in the car when she got tired. Once we got to my mom's I couldn't find my keys since Jeff drove. I knew that I had brought them but they were nowhere to be found. We couldn't get in and had no place to go. What more could go wrong? So I called my mom and asked where her spare key was. She didn't remember where she put it after she had moved the garage around. I looked everywhere. So I guess there was nothing left to do but go home or risk Faith falling asleep which if she did we wouldn't be able to go. My mom finally called back and suggested a window that might not have been locked. We tried it and thankfully got in!!! It felt as though every trick the Adversary threw at us the Lord would help us overcome it in some way! We were so blessed!




We went to do Baptisms for the Dead as I have never done that. It was an amazing experience and even better to have my husband do the baptising for me! I loved it!!! and we both came out almost as though we and our relationship were renewed! We could both feel the difference watching each other in the temple. I was so overjoyed and thankful that we had the opportunity to go and partake in something the Lord has provided to each of us if we just use it.

Faith has begun to sleep nearly 9-10 hours straight this last week! Not sure what started it but she has done it 5 days in a row! I wish I could say I stay asleep until she wakes up but my "mommy clock" has been waking me up when she used to wake up. Hopefully I will get used to it soon!

She still hasn't rolled over and I think I am going to stop encouraging it and just enjoy her as she is. Besides, I won't have to worry about leaving her for a split second.

I have begun to use the jogging stroller with her every morning. She is so awesome as she sleeps right through it all. She will wake up in the morning and about an hour and 15 minutes later she is ready for a short nap.. so that's when we buckle her up and head out the door! I get to train and she gets to nap. Its wonderful! Multi-tasking.. its so easy... ;).

Doesn't she look just like an older person sitting in a chair with her arms on the arm rests and napping??? I think she looks so cute when she sleeps like this. Well she turned 4 months last week and I'm surprised that she is nearly grown out of her 3-6 months. Most don't fit her very easily. She is too tall!!! Soo.. I guess I'm going to have to go shopping again! I have no problems with that other than it would be nice to have her wear some of those cute outfits I bought a little longer than only 7 weeks.

The other day after we went to "Baby and Me" at the library, as I was driving home, she fell asleep holding onto the straps for the toys on her car seat. I thought it was so cute.

Life sometimes gets boring playing with the same old toys but she never gets tired of me! I really don't think I'm that fun but she sure seems to think so.

She has begun to chew on her tongue. I don't know if she is aware that its her tongue or she just thinks there is something in her mouth but its really funny to watch her do it.

Here is proof that she thinks I am so much fun! Enjoy!
