Fayth is 6 months!

Fayth is now 6 months old, 1/2 a year!  This month she had so many very exciting milestones.  She cut 2 teeth which was probably the biggest one!  She can almost sit up by herself, right now she has to have the boppy around her though.  Then she also went on her 1st vacation to the beach (which I have already posted about).  So here are her 6 month pictures:



You can really see her teeth good here.

Such a big girl sitting up in her boppy!

Our Beach Vacation

Back in September we went to Corolla NC for our beach vacation.  We were there for a week, along with some of our friends, it was sooo much fun.

While we were there we got so many pictures of the fun times that we had.  So I am going to try to put the best ones all together in one post to describe our week at the beach (this will be hard!). :)


We had lots of fun at the pool and I believe that we swam almost every day.



Fayth doesn't really like to take baths at all and so we were wondering how she would like the pool.  She didn't like it the first day but for the rest of the week she loved it.  I guess she just had to get used to it. 





We also spent lots of time out on the beach...


This year Hannah loved the ocean, unlike last year.  Her favorite part was playing in the waves.






Another fun thing that we did is we walked down to the drive on part of the beach in Corolla and we got to see some wild horses!




When we got to the fence we had to wait for everyone to catch up and then we all went up closer to the horses.

It was pretty amazing and scary at the same time being so close to a wild animal...

... I don't think that the little kids were scared at all though.



When they started to walk towards us we decided to leave.  :)





Elijah had lots of fun too at the beach in the sand.  He didn't like the ocean very much or the pool actually.



Fayth just had fun watching everybody.  :)



So cute!!!



Look at those toes!!!





We also went to a big sand dune in Kitty Hawk called Jockeys ridge.  Our family, the family that came with us and another family that was there too that we knew, all went together to see the dunes.
This picture doesn't do justice to how big the sand dune is.  I guess that's because you can't see the whole thing in the picture!  I love that when you get to the top you can see both the sound and the ocean on either side.

That's the ocean in the background in this picture




 Elijah loved being able to run and climb and run, he had lots of fun.




 We also got to see the sun set while we were there, it was so pretty.



 Elijah and Fayth having fun together.  Elijah loves his little sister.
Fayth loves her walker.
Isn't she cute!!

Hannah even got to practice feeding a baby!  She loved that.

Also here are a few pictures of the sun rising.  I didn't get to see this in person but it sure is beautiful!


So that was the overview of our week at the beach.  Hope you enjoyed.

To God be the Glory,
