I’m sorry if you get tired of hearing about Fay. She is my whole life, and she is REALLY cute!  If you don’t want anymore Fay, check out a different blog. 🙂

Anyway, Fay is growing up so fast, we hardly know what to do!  She is super smart and loves to share anything she observes with us!  For example, she is excellent at remembering the names of her friends and shouting them out every time she sees them (it makes Sacrament Meeting really exciting!) or whenever she thinks about them. This little boy is a friend from upstairs named Isaac. Fay LOVES Isaac and had a blast when he came to play for a few minutes the other morning. Periodically throughout the day Fay will declare “Isaac!!!” (in her own little Fay way) and then “Lena!” for Elena who is Isaac’s big sister.  She similarly declares the name of her best bud Auden, and one of her favorite babies Leila.  It’s more than slightly adorable! She’s also getting really good at feeding herself with a fork or spoon.  This is a picture of her eating yogurt in the kitchen on the day we had a tornado warning last week. (That is relevant info because we went into the kitchen to be more protected if a tornado did show up.) She ate a whole bowl all by herself without spilling! Fay is also taking her appearance more into her own hands. Anything she can get around her wrist is declared a “bracelet” and she LOVES them!  She found a bunch of baby links yesterday and insisted on fitting as many as possible onto one arm. If you try to put them on a different wrist than she wants, she will make sure you know that you’ve done wrong, and correct your mistake. 🙂 Today, Fay found the nail polish again (she does every couple of weeks) and wanted to get her toes painted.  The old polish had about worn off, so I was happy to help her. Up until today she has always just patiently watched me paint her toenails; but today half way through the first foot, she decided it was her turn!  Please notice the amount of polish on the toes of her left foot!

Another thing Fay has been doing recently is repeating anything we say that she finds interesting.  A couple days ago she dropped something at dinner and Josh said “uh-oh spaghettio.” She really liked that and has has “uh-oh bellio” or something like it each time something has dropped since then!

She really is so much fun, and we love her more than anything in the world…at least for a few more weeks!
