Faye: Month 6
So a few "days" later we are now updating month 6 (10.07 through 11.06) we are only 3 months behind, ha. We start this blog out with some dadda and Faye love. Pics were taken in the front yard. Faye got dressed up for the occasion—footsie pjs and a beanie (this beanie is one that Corey wore when he was a little tike). 
Faye expresses: "look at my Mega-Man feet!" 
In this shot Faye demonstrates how to get her arm out from under
her while being wedged against the side of the couch! 
Where the wild things are... (we caught one...she almost got away but
we grabbed her little legs and held her upside-down, rendering her helpless) 
You guessed it, another UO game! Go DUCKS! Corey sports the green-fuzzy-gumdrop head (that is irresistible to touch—at least to the students that sat behind us) and Faye sticks out her tongue (not a rare occasion). 
Faye dons the "old-school" football helmet hat (made by Kim, thanks!)
It was the first night game we went to, so we prepared to battle the cold with multiple layers. 
Crazy Templetons. 
Here is the real crazy one! (rockin the super cool duck-baby-toy-earring) So tough! Ha! 
What a little love—with her tongue out, again. 
Faye gets into the costume fun. 
She shared her costume mask with mamma. 
"It never rains in Autzen stadium" (we just were playing around with yellow plastic ponchos, right?!)
Celebrating another victory over UCLA! 
Our little twist-and-turn baby.
This might be new to some people—we are getting Faye used to the potty early. Based on a book called "Diaper Free Baby" we have been quite excited to get her on the potty and cuing signals for her to go in her little infant potty. We thought you might like to see just a glimpse...

Faye shows us how close she is to crawling—such a tease.
• •
We both try to get Faye to laugh in our own way...raspberries and kisses •

Trying on dadda's hat for size. So close to fitting—if only her head was not in the 33rd percentile for circumference at her age!
Mamma's birthday! 10/24 We spent the day at the pumpkin patch.
(we didn't get this pumpkin with our free $5 pumpkin coupon...they were a bit smaller) 
So Donna admits that Faye looks quite adorable in this light pink.
Yes, it can go down in the records as her having said so! 
Donna loved the outfit so much she had to give it a squeeze
(ok, she really just wanted to give her cutie baby a squeeze). 
Faye's favorite part of mamma's b-day... yanking on her hair and getting lovely reactions in return. 
Faye was just trying to show mamma some love, that's all! 
They both had fun. 
Ohhh, discovering the mouth. "what big teeth you have mamma!"
"The better to nibble off your little fingers my precious imp" (hehe) 
The previous picture was just to prepare Faye for really big teeth that would chomp at her fingers!
(she came out of the day with all 10 digits) 
Donna decided to go out for a nice walk with Faye one day.
Little did she know that it would be the biggest dumping of rain that day. Fortunately she was prepared. 
And Faye didn't mind the downpour at all. 
Faye and dadda playing tug-o-war. (Faye was winning) 
We kept with a theme for cutting the pumpkins—can you guess what it is?
(hint: we were watching a UO away game at the time)
Here is our little pumpkin on Halloween. The cutest little pumpkin ever. 
Here is Faye among her fellow fluffy friends from church. It took a *few* shots to get
all of these little guys sitting up, being still, and looking in the general direction. 
Our little sitting pumpkin. Not quite mobile, yet! 
The start of vocal warm-ups...

Faye watches mamma and dadda eat and wants to try out the spoon.
Eek, metal isn't that tasty. 
But it is kinda fun to play with! 
Faye shows her stuffed animals who's boss.
(no wonder our cats, Feist and Frou-Frou won't get within 4 feet of our little monster) 
Giggles—we love them! View and listen to how adorable they are!
(dadda knows just how to get Faye to laugh)

The 6th month ended with another Ducks game! Faye is getting quite used to the Ergo carrier.
Again, the true fan is looking at the game. 
Another opportunity for a family shot. Go Ducks! 
Enjoying the game, dancing away with dadda.

And later, being cozy with mamma.
Instead of the game being a "nail-biting" experience for Faye, it became an "R-Gee-biting" experience (poor giraffe!) Though with the final score against Washington being 53–16, it wasn't much of a nail-biter. 
Faye and dadda sharing a moment while walking away from another Duck victory! 
As we were walking back from the game, we came across a perfect picture moment. Donna quickly placed Faye on the (somewhat damp) pile of vividly red leaves, freshly fallen. Faye always a willing participant (and not mobile enough to refuse at this point...hahahahaaaa!) Faye looks up at us blankly (but in her head she says, "not for long....mmmwwwwhhhhaaaahahahhaaaa!")
