First Sunday

Today was Lydia's first day at Church. We got her all dressed up and looking so cute. She started fussing just as we were getting ready to put her into her car seat. We were worried that she was going to be a stinker for her first outing, but to our relief she calmed down and was a perfect angel the whole time we were gone. Sure enough, as soon as we stepped back into the house she started crying for dinner.

Isn't she cute!

Help from Grandparents

Thanks for all the help.

It sure was nice to have some family around for a few days. We enjoyed the company and the meals that our Moms made for us.

We are looking forward to seeing the rest of the family in a month!

Little Habits

Lydia loves her hands. She always has them by her face somehow.

See how Lydia is holding her ear? When she was born her ear was actually folded and pointy like an elf's. She's been doing that for a long time. I loved the little fold, but her Grandma Carrigan kept trying to hold her ear in place to fix it. Sadly, her ear has already fixed itself. But sometimes she still holds her ear.

Pretty in blue.

Put your hands up!! Lydia loves to sleep with her arms above her head....super relaxed.

4 Days Old

Here are some more pictures of our little girl.

Good Quotes

*We were all getting ready to go somewhere. The kids were ready but I wasn't so Lydia started singing a "get ready" song she made up. The following conversation ensued:

Lydia: See, Mom. That's what you say when your kids are ready but you aren't.

Me: Oh, so can I use that song when I'm ready and you aren't?

Lydia: Sigh. Mom, I know I have to explain this to you because I'm smarter than you are.

*Russell had a belly ache. He cried a little, lay back on me and said, "I want my baby out." Later the same day Chad sat down by him and Russell said, "It hurts. Baby kicking me."

*Russell patted my belly and asked, "Baby in there?" I told him yes, and then he kissed my belly.

*The other day Russell was playing with Chad's tape measure. He held it up to my butt and said, "Getting bigger!" I'd have felt better if he'd at least held it up to the baby bump.

*Russell will often say, "Guess what?" When we say, "What?" he says, "I a princess last night."

*Lydia was drawing unsupervised in the next room. I asked her to bring me her paper because I wanted to make sure she wasn't using my checkbook for her artist palette. She came in looking confused and then asked, "To see how pretty it is?"

*During Sacrament meeting, Chad was asking Lydia why we take the bread and water. He was hoping for a reply that included something about Jesus, but Lydia's response was, "Cause we're REALLY hungry!"

*When approaching an elevator, Lydia said, "Are we gonna ride in the alligator?!"

*When washing Lydia's behind in the bathtub she energetically said, "You're doing a good job back there!"

*Chad gave Lydia a playful swat on her behind. Lydia must have liked it cuz she excitedly cried, "Daddy! Hurt me again!"

*Lydia: "I want some chocolate so hard!"

*Without prelude or hesitation whatsoever, my grandpa said, "Brenna, are you having twins?" The nerve.

* The other day I just happened to be standing so Chad could see my full profile and he said, "I'm surprised you don't tip over."

* I was with my very stylish grandma who was wearing mint green capris, super cute wedge shoes, and a green leather purse. I said, "Grandma, you are so fashionable." She looked down and said, "Oh. It's just an accident."

* Chad had lay down in a slide while we were at the park with Lydia and said, "I could sleep here, if I were homeless."

* Lydia is learning adjectives. Yesterday she called me "black mommy" cuz I was wearing a black shirt, and "big mommy" cuz well, let's face it, I'm big.
