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.
