another new development...

Lydia is starting to do all kinds of things by herself. One of her very favorite things to do is feed herself. Even though it is messy, it is so sweet watching her try to do it herself. Our baby girl is growing up so quickly! The bottle is officially gone as well. It was slow going but she seems to be happy with her sippy cup now! Finally!

Playing in the sprinklers

Lydia was invited by some of her friends to go play in the town park sprinklers. Even though the others didn't like it very much, Lydia loved it and kept going back for more. She is such an adventurous child!!

Watch out world, here she comes!

Lydia took her first successful steps out in the yard! Go Lydia!

Riding in style

One chilly, summer evening, we decided to go for a walk. Lydia was a cool little dudette enjoying the scenery!

Car Shopping

Lydia decided that she needed a new car. She found just the right one for her at Walmart! Too bad Daddy didn't agree... Test driving it was fun though!

Playing Piano with Daddy

One summer morning I came out into the living room to find Daddy and Lydia playing the piano! It was so cute! It made me wonder what the future might hold for this musical family?!.

Happy 4th of July!

We had a great time visiting Maria's parents over the 4th of July. The true highlight of the trip was the birth of little Anna Grace! She was born on July 1st and is such a cutiepie!! We can't wait to see her and hold her again.
