Thankfully Lydia keeps us entertained. She has learned a few new words including my favorite, "nigh, nigh." Lydia likes to go to bed (which I love) and so she says this often. She can also say a version of thank you, more, all done, peek-a-boo, cheese, doggie, ball, and rock,rock though some words she says more often than others. She knows what a doggie says and will bark on command if you ask her, and she recently learned where her nose is and gives it a good pinch when we ask her to find it. She has also learned to say, "No!" and she gets this threathening scowl on her face. This has developed only in the last few days and I can tell it isn't going to be my favorite thing. But at least she is growing and learning. She is almost always happy and tons of fun.
Ever the face-maker, here Lydia is all ready for church with her hair done up in curls.
She found the mud at the park on one of those just-thawed days and loved it!
And here we are at the same park a different day. We take advantage of weather that reaches above forty and head to the park. I especially loved her pig-tails that day. Her hair is starting to get long enough in the back for me to pull all of her hair up. What a cutie!
