Lydia's First Steps!

I was so excited that I got this on video - even if it is a bit crazy from my end! Lydia has been walking along furniture and walls really well for a month or so now, and has been randomly standing up on her own for the past couple of weeks. On August 12 she finally took some steps! I missed the first round, but was so glad that I got the second round on video!

Maybe I will write a book someday...

This video just makes me laugh! Lydia had been watching me while I was writing in her journal. She then went over to our computer desk and found a pad of paper and a "pen" (It was actually a container of lead for lead pencils) and then she started "writing". What was the funniest is how she had to get so close to her paper and how pleased she was with herself! Silly girl!

This is another of my favorites - when Lydia started saying "cheese" I was wondering where she got it - I really don't tell her to say cheese when I am taking her pictures. I think she picked it up elsewhere, but now every time I pull out the camera, I hear "cheese!"

Some of our favorite videos of Lydia during her 1st year

This one is hilarious to me - because I had just come home from a great sale at Old Navy and hadn't had a chance to take them out of the bag before Lydia got to them - along with all of her blankets of the shelf! She has always been soooooo busy!

I had been dancing with Lydia before Daddy got home, so he took it over when I was done. Lydia just loves her Daddy, and loves to laugh!

Just the beginning of Lydia's mischievousness! (Warning - this is a long one)

Sitting in a cloud....of kleenex!

And now crackers that daddy left out!

Lydia had lots to say! Silly Girl! (And don't you just LOVE her hair? ha ha!)
