Lydia is learning to talk. She barks like a dog, says cat and good if asked too, and drops things purposefully so that she can say uh-oh. She still calls Dave "Momma" sometimes, but he doesn't seem to mind. (She also called Aubrey "Momma" while we were in WY.) She says mmm-hmm and a few other words. She is at the age where her vocabulary grows daily; it is so much fun to hear.
Lydia has the cutest laugh. It isn't a usual high pitched little girl laugh- it has a sweet authenticity to it.
Lydia's hair is getting longer, and needs to be put up and out of her eyes. I can tell it is going to be a battle to keep a bow or clip in her hair. We'll see how that goes.
She loves to sit and look at books and will often bring me a book to read to her, but she doesn't sit long enough to listen to an entire book yet. She doesn't, however, mind being held. She likes to give kisses and hugs and is overall pretty cuddly. She doesn't give love out to just anyone, however. Dave and I are going to have to learn about keeping a kid from being shy. Lydia takes awhile to befriend others.
Lydia just got her 7th tooth and her 8th is on the way. Teething is not a favorite of Lydia or mine. She is having to learn not to bite, or eat crayons/sidewalk chalk in the midst of her pain. We try to keep things around that will soothe her little gums.
Lydia is a sweet-natured girl, and I am so glad that God gave her to us. I never thought I would have kiddos born so close together, but I am so thankful that we have our little Lydia. She is such a joy to us all.
