Last night the three of us were sitting at the dinner table together. This is actually a rare event since Lydia insists on eating right when we walk in the door after work and school, but this time she was content to sit with Steven and me while we ate our food. Lydia amused herself […]

yo gabba gabba made me cry
Lydia has taken up a new addiction recently — the kids’ show Yo Gabba Gabba. Oh, how enthralled she is! Thankfully, it’s a pretty snazzy show and both Steven and I are able to sit through it. In fact, it can be rather entertaining. Thank God our child was not born during the Age of […]
hop back on again
This weekend has been the first nice weekend in two months and it was time to GET OUTSIDE. Yesterday Lydia went to the zoo with her cousin Elizabeth. Today the men are still working on The Project downstairs so Lydia and I went outside to enjoy the day. We took out her scoot-about tricycle that […]
ground control to major tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on.
general familial update
Mea culpa for the absence. My body has not enjoyed pregnancy near as much this time around, so for the last month or so I have been fighting the Virus of Death. I finally got rid of it a few weeks ago, but now I have strept throat. Again. The doctors keep telling me my […]
the creepy man that sneaks into your house at night
As opposed to last year, Lydia decided Santa is The Scary Man Extraordinaire. What a nice set of molars you have there, child!

This year, however, I had a great anxiety about how the now-running Lydia would behave with the tree. After all, it’s practically a toy-laden conifer in the eyes of a toddler. When the tree […]
the sign of the taco
Over the past week or so, I would notice Lydia do this seemingly random gesture where she would point into her palm. I didn’t think too much of it. She’s usually doing random things. I chalked it up to toddlerism and moved on. Yesterday evening I finally caught on to when she was doing it, […]
*point*
The other weekend we visited the zoo with our friends and their son, Syon. This was Lydia’s third trip to the zoo and her most enjoyable time there yet. The moment we arrived she began pointing out all the interesting things to us. Now that she’s walking she was much less willing to sit in […]
update: growing taco
Lydia hits the big 15-monther next week, if you can believe it. She’s way past toddling now, she’s practically running sometimes. She is going light-speed through time; I can’t keep up mentally, physically, or with clothes that fit. Thank goodness for Grandma! Over the past few weeks, Lydia is starting to find her voice can […]
