Happy Birthday Lydia!!!!



Her candle was a big number one. She wanted to touch the flame but couldn't quite understand how to blow it out.

Tired Lydia



Lydia turned one on the 22nd of September. On the day of her birthday she had seven teeth but two days later two more broke through. She is getting in her molars, so soon she will have eleven. We are so proud of her. She learns so much and is into everything. She knows how to say please, finished/done, more, food/eat, and milk in sign language. She also knows what a dog, chicken and sheep says. She love reading books and playing outside. She enjoys going on walks and music. She already strums the guitar beautifully. She can give hugs but she knows them as squeezes. She makes a squishing sound when you hug her.
On her birthday we made her a cake but unusually by six thirty she was tired. By the time that we lit the candle she wasn't very interested in blowing it out. She just wanted to eat the cake, and she did.
I wrapped her present up in wrapping paper that has a dog print on it. She kept barking at it. She probably wouldn't have known to rip the wrapping paper off if she hadn't seen me wrap it. We gave her a baby doll. She loves to carry her baby around and give it hugs. We also take it with us when we go on walks and she holds her hand. She is sure growing up. She is so smart. We could be happier with a great girl like Lydia.

Anxious Ducks



The ducks at one moment got really close. They even nipped at Lydias feet. Thanks goodness that Lydia is a little dare devil or else she would be scared of ducks for life. She usually doesn't eat bread. I guess it is only when she has to choose between her or the ducks.

What a Fun Day





Today we went and feed the ducks at Nature Park.







Then we went and play at the splash park.

Lydia had so much fun at both. She is so fun because of the way she shows her excitement. It helps me be enthusiastic especially because I know she loves what we are doing.

Lydia loves this clock. It is was Ben's from his great Grandmother. It plays music and tick tocks like a clock. She tries to wind it up on her own. She is so smart.


Here a funny face. Every once in a while she will scrunch up her nose. She used to do it all the time but lately it has been a rare occasion for her.


Lydia is walking away these days. She will sometimes put her hands straight up above her head it is so fun. She also has been trying to walk as fast as she can which will cause her to stumble in such a cute way.

Red Check Dress





Here is a dress that I made for Lydia. Red looks really good on her.
