Happy Birthday to Ms. Faith!

I can't believe it's already been a year. I think this has been the fastest year I can remember, probably due to sleep deprivation. :)

My facial expression here: "I think I'm on way too many drugs to be holding a baby"

Expressing herself from the start

At first, Faith just slept a lot:

Fresh home from the hospital (hence the bracelet)

What is this and why are you obsessed with it? Feed me instead.

We had a fun DIY photo shoot for her birth announcement:

I'm not going to wake up

Strike a pose

 All of Faith's newborn hair fell out, but eventually enough grew back for me to bust out some baby hair bows!

Whatever Mommy, once I get the coordination I'm totally pulling this out

Baptism time (otherwise known as screaming in public time)

Faith has always enjoyed hanging out with her Daddy:

Yo

ESPN puts me to sleep

ESPN puts everyone to sleep

Man, Daddy is comfy

It wasn't so easy for me to get Faith to sleep. Sometimes I had to resort to using an exercise ball. It always worked but made me vaguely carsick.

They should advertise this use

The older Faith got, the more her personality started to show:

I can't believe she's making me do tummy time AGAIN

Man, Daddy is funny!

As the weather got colder, Faith learned to enjoy runs and walks in the cold:

Adults should have hoods with ears too

Faith had her first Halloween as a cow:

I am not pleased

She even voted for the first time!

She celebrated her first Marine Corps birthday:

Semper Fi 

Faith also loved her first Christmas:

Laser Peanut eyes!

My mommy just never gets tired of that camera

We've had so many firsts this past year, but we are so excited for all the firsts to come. First word, first steps, first public tantrum...wait, I can skip that last one. :)

Happy Birthday Ms. Faith!
