Peek-a-Boo!

Lydia is sooo funny! She has the silliest personality and is always laughing or making us laugh. Her latest silliness happened a few days ago. I went in to get her when I heard her gabbing to herself and making her silly noises. I laughed when I saw that she had one arm anchored over her crib's bumper pad and she was peeking out into her room. I crawled over and played peek-a-boo with her. Ever since then, right when I put her in her crib she reaches over and pulls her bumper pad down. Today after I had put Lydia down for a nap, I heard her talking and playing in room. I went in and this is what she was doing. So I finally got it on video, and am glad I did! Silly girl! Too bad you have to listen to me talking, but oh well!

Addi's Pink Poodle Cake

It has always been a tradition in our family for my mom to let us kids choose a picture of what we wanted for our birthday cakes. She would do cut cakes - and they were always huge. Some of mine included Dot from A Bug's Life, Buzz Lightyear, Rainbow Brite, and many other awesome cakes! She always did a great job!

To carry on my mom's tradition, this year for birthday gifts to my nieces and nephews I offered to make their birthday cakes. Angie was the first to take me up on the offer. She had ordered "Pink Poodles in Paris" plates, cups, balloons, etc. for Addi's 2nd birthday party, so I took the picture and made her a Pink Poodle Cake! This is a picture of how I put it together - cutting it out 1st and placing it on a board. Then I frost it and hope it turns out ok!

Happy Birthday, Addi!

Two Little Teeth!

I have been trying to get a picture of Lydia's two cute little teeth, but I am never fast enough! So I decided to try video, and it kind of worked - look really close at the very beginning. She is such a funny silly girl!

What a cutie!

I was in Target shopping, and on my way out I walked by their Photography Studio. Sitting on the table right out in front were framed pictures of our own little Lydia! So of course I had to take a picture of it (Yes, I carry my camera in the diaper bag!) What a cutie!

(Same day) - We were over at my sister-in-law's house and she was holding Lydia. I laughed when Lydia started sucking her thumb, and I could actually get a picture of it! She often does this if she is tired and doesn't have her binky.

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

So Cute in Hats!

I have had a set of the knifty knitter looms for a couple years now, and my sister-in-law inspired me to get going and make some hats with them. I have always wanted to, and I have a ton of yarn that needs to be used for something, so I got crazy and made a bunch to match Lydia's outfits. They have been great since it has been such a long, cold winter! I love Lydia in Hats! My sister-in-law also makes and sells them and the cute flowers that you can clip on them (or on headbands) on her blogspot @ http://www.babyfabaccessories.blogspot.com/.
