Sometimes after Monks has her morning food she goes down for a snooze. Sometimes she joins us and we have a family snooze. And apparently sometimes Jaynie sneaks out of bed and takes photos...

This is Lydia during a recent walk. She is dreaming of some major accomplishment. Look at this concentration here.

Just what is that accomplishment? Is it turning nine months old this week?

I think not. This was a major full on clenched fist pump.

Could it be that she was waiting for all of our belongings to be unpacked and all over the floor so that she could start...

Crawling! I think so.

And then she found out that there was a nine month checkup at the Doctor's office.

And here is Lydia hearing the good news that a nine month checkup does not require shots.

Doc says Lydia is, quote, "off the charts" in the weight category. Can't say we didn't see that one coming. She's a healthy one.

Have a great week.
