[Whitney] Grumpy pumpkin

If you've ever met our baby you know that she is practically always smiling... that's literally how she is 99.999% of the time. Last night we tried to take some Halloween photos of her, and it was one of those .001% times when she's not so happy. We ended up capturing one Grumpy Pumpkin! Grandma Patty got her this cute pumpkin jacket, so we dressed her up... and she wasn't having it! The photos are priceless, however, so I'm still going to share them... we love our Grumpy Pumpkin! Happy Halloween!

[Fun] The Faust House is famous!

A friend of mine is getting his master's in fine arts and contacted us last year about using our house to film a movie. We were game for it, but one of the crew members was allergic to cats, so it never came through. One of the other crew members remembered our house from when they scoped it out, so he contacted us about using our house for an independent short he was doing. It worked out they could film things when we could easily be out of the house, so we went for it!

They wrapped filming this past weekend, and things went really well! They movie will premier in a few months and we're going to be invited. It will be neat to see our house on screen! They used the kitchen and living room, garage, Whitney's room (which they transformed into a boy's room!), and the backyard. Here are a few photos from the shoot:

[Whitney] Seven months old!

Seven Month Milestones

It was definitely a major month for Miss Whitney Pearl:

• Crawling!
• Teeth - two on the same day!
• First words!
• Firsts
• Avocado
• Scrambled eggs
• Favorites:
• Light up toys - especially cell phones and the iPad, but we bought her two baby-friendly light up toys to curb the electronics habit!
• Family time before bedtime - we all hang out in her room while she crawls around the floor, pulls herself up on anything and everything

As you can see we've had to go to putting her month sticker on her back... she likes to roll and crawl! :)

Whitney spent her 7 month birthday with Grandpa Faust while Mommy & Daddy were at work. She loves getting to hang out with him every Thursday!
