Im so glad when Daddy comes home!

Jeff spent this last week in Arizona working and we missed him so much!

Lydia even started saying Da Da and hasn't stopped, its very very cute even though secretly I would like to hear her say Ma Ma!

With Jeff being out of town we realize how much he does around here and how much we love having him around! 

Were just not complete without him!

Hopefully he wont have to leave again anytime soon! 

I don't know what we'll do this summer when he's working all day long!

Look Who Came To Our House!

Miss. Hat!

All the way from England!

This is how our visit went...

Yay Cousins!

Hattie: Yay baby cousin Lydia!

Lydia: Ahh! She's poking me!

Hattie: Yay! We finally meet! Bear Hug! 

Lydia: Ok, I think I can handle this 

Hattie: Maybe I should hug tighter so she knows how much I love her

Lydia: Ok thats good, time to let go!

Lets just say that Hattie loves Lydia, who did not appreciate all the cousinly love

We love you Hattie, come back and visit soon!

 Maybe next time Lydia will reciprocate the love!

Have you ever LOVED someone SO MUCH that you can barely stand it?

I Have!!!

Even though she can be a little stinker sometimes

I love love love her so much 

 I don't know how but that loves keeps on growing!

I'm not sure I can take it :-)

Im sure other parents can relate- please tell me how you cope

(notice the line of drool from her mouth to the carpet and dang look at those cheeks)

Catching up

The holidays were a hit this year and I can't believe it is all over! We spent two weeks in Minnesota with Jeff's family this year. I have always loved Christmas and it is a million times even more fun with a baby of my own! Here are just a couple pictures to update everyone.

We were a little nervous about how Lydia would react to Santa but clearly she was fine! I think she thought his beard was funny. 

Lydia doesnt quite understand the whole present thing yet but had fun playing with the ribbons. She is only part way sitting on her own now, she is quick to fall over. However she has completely mastered rolling over! Its so fun to she her move around the room, rolling and scooting to anything and everything she can! I guess we need to start baby proofing our floors!

Lydia and Tyler are only 3 weeks apart! Clearly they love each other! These moments never lasted long before one would get a death grip on the other

This picture just cracks me up! Gotta love how babies are so flexible! Her toes are so yummy, so much more fun than sucking on fingers!

My family will appreciate this picture of Lydia ready to devour a ballon

My little baby is growing up! I can't believe she's already eating solids!

Lydia is getting more and more fun everyday and growing up so fast!
