Lydia at the Inner Harbor watching boats
BIG NEWS of the day... Lydia is getting a new tooth! Finally to match her cute two little bottom teeth (which personally I think are VERY cute by themselves) she's getting a little top tooth right up front. She's growing so fast it seems now. She recently napped an unusually long nap and one morning recently she slept in... until probably 8:30. It was unbelievable. I can't believe she's going to be ONE this weekend. Where did that year go??? A lot has happened this past year actually so I can kinda track it... but I can only presume that with each child the time seems to "fly by" even quicker. It's hard to keep up with all the changes with each kid! But we sure do love it.
Let's see what else is new with Lydia... she is in 18-24 month clothing, and is crawling as fast as you can walk, and pulls up on everything and can sometimes stand by herself "balancing" without holding on to anything. She isn't walking by herself YET but can walk while pushing along the toy bin or a laundry basket. Personally, I wouldn't mind if she waited a few more MONTHS before walking ;) ha ha. She's getting so tall that tonight I was setting the kitchen table and I caught her reaching up and pulling the bag of rolls off the edge! sneaky girl! She was really hungry ;)
She has a few words, but mostly very baby sounding that WE really know because we hear them so often and see that they are associated with the same thing:
"HI!!!" and waving along with it are her favorites (she is a social butterfly, waves to almost everyone and makes random strangers days I'm sure)
"DA DA" for Dad... "NA NA" for banana and one of my personal favorites:
"NAYNEN" or "MAYNEN" or "NUHNEN" (varieties there-of!) for "AMEN" when we pray at meals. And she folds her hands with it too. Oh... oh my, so sweet :)
She also makes a "WHU WHUU" sound for "woof woof"- dog, and tries other sounds, sometimes getting "EEEEE! EEE!" for "Monkey" among others. She LOVES to read about animals and hear their sounds- she smiles and laughs.
Her hair is finally long enough for pig tails, something she's finally stopped crying when I do! ha ha. (see above picture- although hard to tell in that picture!) I'm just crazy about this baby girl, and it seems like each new week brings something new to love.
Josiah is majorly into LEGO's now and we're loving it as much as he does. Sometimes he'll sit there for an hour (or MORE) and just play LEGOs. It's basically a dream come true, and he's very imaginative with what he builds too! It's so neat to watch him becoming this little boy with his own interests and personality. As I type, Lydia is happily reading a book and Josiah playing LEGOs... which explains my ability to type.
So I guess you can thank them for the update :)
Oh my... bedtime fussiness just hit- until next time! :)
