Everything's Growing!

We praise God for all the growing things around us that show His care and blessing. . . our garden, and even more special, our children. In this post, we have pictures of our precious Faith and each of her siblings interacting with her as she grows. . . we thought of you that are far away and wanted to share a bit of our joy with you. Aqui tenemos fotos de nuestras hortalizas y de nuestros hijitos preciosos para que ustedes amigos lejos de nosotros pueden disfrutar ellos con nosotros. Extranamos a ustedes mucho - MUCHO!!! Here is our garden with our house in the background. Nuestras hortalizas.
We are so very grateful to the Lord for His bountiful blessings in our garden. We eat from it every day and are so thankful for all the help weeding we had while we were gone last month! Gracias a Dios por mucha comida de nuestras hortalizas ahora!
At four months old, Faith has begun to like to look around. . . she stays content with all the activity around her! Fe ya tiene 4 meses, y le gusta mucho estar en el piso, mirando sus hermanitos.
Papa time! Tiempo con Papa!
What an active girly :) Gordon used to call Susanna "Butterfly" because she waved her arms so much. I think Faith is just as active! Fecita tiene mucha energia como Susanna tenia cuando era bebita.
Samuel loves his sister and daily asks to hold her. Samuel siempre esta pidiendo cargar a Susanna.
Faith's newest feat is trying to sit up in her baby seat. Fe siempre quiere sentarse ahora.
Her sisters think each new accomplishment is just the greatest thing and are always giggling and cheering her on! Is it any wonder she is in such a hurry to grow up? Elisabet y Susanna estan ayudando Fe a aprender cosas nuevas cada dia.
Well, it's like this, we've been trying and trying to encourage Faith to take a pacifier. Even Isaiah gets in on the act. We've been working on this for 2 months now. . . Fe no quiere su chuparon.
. . . But her fingers have been satisfying her more and more lately, try as we might to switch her to a pacifier every time we see her sucking fingers. Pero ella si quiere a sus dedos - aunque siempre estamos tratando de darle su chuparon en vec de dedos.
This week she has settled into sucking them just like Samuel used to. . . and she is so content. Ahora quiere chupar como Samuelito siempre chupaba.
So we've . . . finally . . . given up on the pacifier. . . and are just enjoying how sweet she looks and how easy it is to have a baby in the home that will put herself to sleep whenever you lay her down when she's tired! Awwwww. . . . Entonces, ya sabemos que nunca va a usar su chuparon, pero no importa mucho. . . ella es tan linda y preciosa. . .
