Miss Lydia is now a whopping seven months old! During her seventh month she also entered the new year of 2009. Suddenly, June and her first birthday does not seem that far away.

taco covered in presents
Just now are we really settling down from the holidays and I can sit on my bootie for a minute to share with the Internets Lydia’s Fun Christmas Day. Lydia had a special visitor at her daycare right before Christmas — the man himself, Santa Claus! Lydia was more than happy to sit down with […]
conversation with Lydia while changing her diaper
Me: “Okay, time for some Butt Paste.” (grabs big ass jar of paste) Lydia: (chews on distracting toy) Me: “We sure do still have a lot of this stuff. I think it’ll last us throughout you and any future children there may be. You know, your Aunt Cathy has two of these things. That’s a […]
six month old taco
Lydia turned a whole six months old back on December 23rd. I had every intention of writing this post then but before I blinked it was Christmas Eve, then Christmas, then more Christmas, then I felt a slight breeze as the end of 2008 flew by and HOLY CRAP IT’S JANUARY! So here we are. […]
I should just run a tape recorder at family gatherings
Steven’s grandfather: “Come on over here, Lydia, and sit in my lap so we can take a nap together.” Steven’s grandmother: “Where is your lap?!”
no vulgarity around the taco
The Husband and I thought that once Lydia arrived, our more swarthy habits would phase out on their own. That has proven to not be the case. After a particularly loud burp while holding the girlie, we decided we should do something to curb our habits. The ‘quarter in a jar’ trick was quickly ruled […]
five month old taco
Yesterday Lydia turned five months old. Happily, a Sunday, my optimistic self thought I would be able to post this on the day itself but, alas, Lydia decided it would be a Screaming Day. So here we are. Lydia’s grabbiness continued this past month, so the Excersaucer was set up for her. There is a […]
wash your hands after messing with this taco
Over the past week we’ve experimented a bit with rice cereal. My God, what a mess. I’m not really sure how much Lydia is actually eating. Right now I think she has confused the concoction with bubble gum and she spends most of her energy blowing millions of small bubbles with the gooey stuff. I […]
the scariest costume ever
Apparently Lydia had a slight case of the runs today. She blew through all the clothes she had at daycare so by the time I arrived to pick her up, she was in “daycare clothes.” They’re pretty scary. I told Lydia she was already dressed for Halloween. She could go as a Four Month Old […]
four month old taco
Last Thursday Lydia turned four whole months old. That’s a third of a year — quite an old taco! So much has happened this past month, as well. She has been quite busy. First, she became a cousin three days into her fourth month with the arrival of her cousin, Elizabeth. We are all glad […]
