Gibson tried drinking out of a cup the other day. He wasn’t that bad at it! The last picture is of him watching a Baby Einstein and eating celery. (That is his buddy “Monkey” in the seat with him.)
These last several posts have been exclusively Gibson. He is amazing, but maybe next blog, we will try and put something up about Carl or me too!
Gibson has finally outgrown his car seat. Even though he still is within the height and weight limit, the little guy just doesn’t seem to fit anymore! Here is what he looked like the first time putting him in and the last!
And now for the new seat……
Gibson has his two front bottom teeth fully showing now. Since I can’t get a good shot of his mouth (It’s dark in there!) I thought I’d show a diagram (Exhibit A) to use for our talk on his further progress.
As you can see, Gibson’s lower central incisors have erupted. They are fully functional and have proven to be quite sharp (see Exhibit B). Furthermore, the Maternal figure in the household has displayed her emotions ever so frequently that he will soon be bottle-fed. However, the subject finds humor in any reprimanding that comes from his actions.
Moving along, although the subject’s upper central incisors are visible, they have not yet erupted and are constrained by his callused gums still. Surprisingly, the subject’s upper left lateral incisor HAS erupted and is almost exposed. We are in fear that our child will look more like a vampire than human, until the upper central incisors are erupted.
Thank you for your time and I will now take any comments or questions.
Gibson recently started mimicking us when we “bobbled” our heads when we talked to him. We decided to turn it into a music video because we are that proud of it! ENJOY!
Hey Guys!
Sadly our first Christmas is over with our family. We wanted to post a few videos of some moments that we captured on video
playing hard
sending kisses
….and this one is the worship team playing a christmas special for Journey Life Church
I finished our last post about Thanksgiving. But Carl is glued to the tv watching a U2 concert a friend gave him (not my favorite group.) SO I will blog again. And try to catch up. I’m sure all of my English teachers from school would be very upset know I just started the last three sentences with “but”, “so” and “and”. Oh well. I’m a “seasoned writer” now and can break the rules, right? RIGHT? Yes, I’m bored and should go to bed.
I’ve decided that after next week, we should get back to blogging pretty regularly. This weekend is our “Christmas Worship Experience”. It is a worship service with singing, instrumentals, dancing, and even sign language. I’m so excited for it! Most of my life lately has been nothing but planning for this. I haven’t been home much. So, I will be very ready for a Christmas vacation!
We put up our tree last Friday. It was fun to watch Gibson around the lights.
It’s crazy how much Gisbon has changed. He sleeps in his own crib now. His hair is still way long on top, but he’s lost a lot around the sides so it looks kind of like a bad ’90s hair ‘do. And he’s eating solids now! I think he likes them. Mainly the green beans and carrots (weird kid), but he can’t eat bananas. Bad stuff happens when he eats them. I guess he is now 5 months old, since it is after midnight here. I will leave with a picture of him and, maybe (cross fingers), blog again tomorrow. Carl fell asleep and I’m ready to join him!
Normally NOT this messy, but it made a better picture to let him get this way!
I haven’t blogged about our Thanksgiving yet, so before I put anything else up here I better share about our holiday! We were invited to spend the day with our Pastor and his family. Gibson wasn’t feeling well the day before so we weren’t sure if we were going to go, but we did! I made green bean casserole and pumpkin pie to take to the dinner! We started out at Pastor Brian’s parents house and shot guns, bows and arrows…we even threw a tomahawk! Then we went to Brian and Kasha’s for dinner and the playing of the Wii. The next day we got to go to another dinner too! We were so blessed! Thank you to everyone who made us part of their family that week!
Christian, shooting a 9mm Glock for her first time! Never again.

Here lately, we’ve really enjoyed using Skype. It’s free and we get to stay connected thru video with family. My sisters have the program so every once in a while I’ll give them a ring just to see how their day is. Last night, my parents and Brooke talked with us and got to see Gibson and tonight we welcomed Carl’s parents into the Skype world! I’m so glad that people get a chance to see the new things our son is doing even though they are hours and hundreds (or thousands) of miles away! The rest of our family should jump on board. Cousins can have play dates, Aunts and Uncles can hang out with nieces and nephews, friends can have a coffee and great-grandparents can love on great-grandchildren! Our screen name is: christianmichellefauth (only because I was the only one using it at first!)
More Special Moments
The Gerber baby dropped off some Rice Cereal at our house. We like Oat Cereal better though!
Daddy brought home some headphones from the church to play with!
We got the hair to stay down! (For about 5 minutes!) Thanks for the toy cousin Jackie!
(No matter how many times I rotate, the picture always ends up the original way)
Last week we were in Cleveland for a worship conference. Everyone else decided to start home, but we wanted to visit what was advertised as the “America’s Biggest Candy Store“. So we typed in the address on our GPS and found it about one exit down the road! Our friend, Amanda, joined us on our little adventure. We were quite pleased.
The most Laffy Taffy I've ever seen!
Amanda with the Mega Bruiser, jaw breaker
Not candy
"Fatty Ratty"? No thanks!
