Short post this weekend...
Lydia started wearing Pig Tails in her hair this week. It seems as though she got a lot older as soon as this happened. Here she is.
We also had a fun visit with Jack, Julie, Logan, and Brody this week. Lydia loves having other kids over. She also likes having other readers around. Lydia was quick to grab a book, sit on Julie's lap, and force her to read.
Have a great week!
Lydia is a happy little girl. Some of her favorite things include visiting with Grandma, dancing, food, reading, and anything to do with trains. Friday Lydia was lucky enough to have a day with them all.
First off, here is Lydia with Grandma at the library. Between reading books Lydia took a few turns on the dance floor.
After the library we headed to lunch. While walking from the car to Lydia's favorite restaurant, a train passed by.
Lydia's favorite place to eat is called Two Toots. She loves the trains that deliver the food. She also loves to read the menu and tell us about it.
And more than all of this, she loves Grandma.
Have a great weekend!
Lydia is really into reading these days. We read to her daily, and when we are not reading to her, she will often grab a book, run off, and look at it by herself. Some of the books we read to her include The Biggest Story, Humble Heart, and The Big Picture Story Bible. Some of the books Lydia enjoys running off with include Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See, pamphlets and magazines that her favorite blue uniformed friend drops off daily, and User Guide. Here she is with one of those magazines from her blue uniformed friend.
And here is Lydia reading her current favorite. It is called User Guide and was written by Mr. Whirlpool. Here she is reading User Guide.
She keeps User Guide in her secret Picnic Basket in the kitchen. Here she is guarding it.
In addition to finding User Guide by Mr. Whirlpool in Lydia's basket, we have found random plates, bowls, cups, shoes, receipts, and cardboard. Pretty much anything that goes missing in our home is likely to be found in the Picnic Basket.
Lydia has also started to wear Jaynie's old Canucks hat around the house. She enjoys wearing the hat and running around the house, or clearing out a place to sit so she can read. Here she is doing both.
Not apposed to different styles of hats, here she is reading one of those magazines from her blue uniformed friend with her thinking cap on.
And some more reading. In her rocking chair, and in the hallway while Momma is brushing her teeth.
A couple of random cute photos.
We had a first time burger eater in the house this week.
And also a new Peek-a-Boo player.
Lydia loves this Puppy doll that Mimi gave her for Christmas.
Recently we passed by a Disney store where they were selling Minnie Mouse dolls for a very reasonable price. Getting two was one extra dollar. So we bought two. We then put them in Lydia's rocking chair after she was asleep for the night so that she would find them the next morning. After Lydia woke up in the morning and had some food, she did her usual rounds. When she saw the Minnie Mouse dolls in her chair she went straight over to them and started to rock them in the rocking chair. This went on for quite some time and has now turned into a morning routine. After rocking them for a while they usually have a group hug. Here they are.
Have a great week!
I feel like Lydia is changing rapidly before our eyes. This week she started to use a spoon with her cereal. It's quite the scene - she gets about 30% in her mouth with each bite. Lydia has also added more words to her vocabulary. Some new words are apple, nana, hi, up, bye bye, truck, no no no, and mi mou (Mickey Mouse). Lydia colored for the first time this week, attended story hour at the library, and I gave her another little bang trim. This did nothing for taming her wild hairdo!
