Uncle John

For Memorial Day we went on a hike just outside of Couer D Lane. It was a about three miles or less round trip. Lydia loved being outdoors. She did get heavy though. Thank goodness there was enough people to help carry her. I think we will have to invest in a hiking backpack carrier for her. She enjoyed shoulder riding. It would get awkward to hold her though because she would lean backand look at the trees above. If she was on you shoulders she would all the suden lean back with all her weight. It was hard to hold on to her.

Standing

Lydia is now standing everywhere. She can pull her self up on to most everything. Even in the bath tub. I have yet to get a picture of that. She is growing so much. She is really anxious to walk.

Lydia, Lydia and more Lydia

Here are some more pictures of Lydia. She has been pulling herself up on to anything she can lately . Her reach has improved. She can rach the little shelves in the bath tub. It is so cute. She tipped over her toy box all by her self. Then she pulled herseld on to that and then scooted over to the ottoman. She amry crawls and is trying to really crawl . She always seemed to be learning happily. We love her so much.

Swimming Pictures

Here is Lydia swimming away with her grandparents. She had so much fun.

Papa and Grandma

Shortly after we moved in Ben's parents came to see us. Lydia enjoyed them so much. We went up to mesa falls and then they took Lydia swimming. She also learned how to clap. It is so cute because she does it now to when she is trying to express emotion. If she is fussy or somthing she will start to clap her hands as if she is trying to tell me to help her. She also claps when she is excited and having a fun time.

Moving

On april 20th we moved into our new place. It have been fun after we go settled. we love our place. It is such a blessing to have all we have. I am grateful for the washer and dryer and everything else about it.. It has been great.
