We are getting into a regular routine around here. With the umbilical cord gone we can now give Lydia a bath in the tub. She hated the wipe down at the sink during the first week she was home and we expected a similar routine during bath time in the tub. We were pleasantly surprised. Lydia loves the tub.

We've also been reading quite a few board books to Lydia. By the way she looks around the room at whatever bright object she can see, it is clear to us that she is very fond of board books. Her favorite books are Little Blue Truck, Harold and the Purple Crayon, Is your Mamma a Llama, and Doggies (surprise ending!). That being said, she has expressed suspicion as to whether or not Dr. Seuss was really a doctor. Lydia said that she could write at the level that this (to use Lydia's words) "so called doctor" writes at. Here is a photo of Lydia during the Dr. Seuss conversation.

Lydia then went on to write a response to the Dr Seuss book Hop on Pop. Here it is:

Poop

By Lydia

Poop in diaper.
Diaper poop.
Diaper change.
More poop.
Poop poop poop.
No diaper on.
Projectile poop.
Flying poop.
That went far.
Poop hit dad.
Code blue.

The end.

We are waiting to hear back from the publisher.

Lydia in her stroller. She's very happy with the 65F weather we've been getting here.

Lydia loves her mom.
