    Faith loves to be loved. She loves hugs and kisses, and she gives pretty good ones too! Faith loves to be around other kids. She lights up when she sees them. Faith has a great sense of humor and she loves to tease so watch out! Faith loves to play with people's hair especially long and curly hair. She also likes to honk noses. Faith's favorite toys are her magna doodle, books (loves to turn the pages) and paper ( anykind-she just loves it). She especially loves those envelopes with plastic windows. Nothing crinkles as good as those! Faith loves to play ball. Faith has learned some simple signs and can say "ma ma". Faith can combat crawl, sit on her own, and walk with hands held. She uses a walker to get around the house by herself or she'll crawl or roll there, and nothing gets in her way.   

    Faith was just recently officially diagnosed, although we have truly known for awhile that she had CS. Faith's brother Zachary had CS and we knew the signs. Faith was tested, but it was inconclusive. She recently had an MRI and her neurologist said that it was conclusive to CS.  Faith had a cataract removed from her left eye when she was 8 months old. Faith has some feeding problems. She has food allergies and sensitivities that cause her discomfort. These food sensitivities are strongly  linked to her reflux. Faith has also developed some sleeping proplems, however she is now on medication and is having better nights.
