two-year-old taco

Miss Lydia turns two today! Oh, what all can change in another year! Despite the cute outfit I had saved for her, she was not ready to face the day this morning. Even the promise of cupcakes later in the day could not bring her to smile. One year ago, Lydia was yet to walk […]

christmastime for tacos

At Christmas last year Lydia was not yet mobile so I had no far for all my Christmas trimmings and trappings. 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 […]

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 […]

Once when The Husband and I were just parents to two cats my mom told me when I had kids I was never going to take pictures of them because I would be too worn out from taking so many pictures of the kitties. “Oh please,” I replied back, “I’ll take so many pictures of […]

One more month till the Big One. Oh, goodness. I need to get planning! Lydia turns 11 months old today. This past month she has enjoyed multiple visits from her cousin, Elizabeth.

ten month old taco

Ten. One zero — double digits. That’s a lot of months, unless you’re counting in binary, and there’s only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t. But I digress. Lydia was a busy bee of a girl this month. Crawling continues to be her main source of […]

nine month taco

Wow, this past month has been a busy one for Miss Lydia! This is the month she became mobile and the entire family’s lives have changed, including the cats’. A few days into her ninth month we were playing on the floor when Lydia decided she’d really like to be closer to Hermione so she […]

eight month taco

Lydia turned eight months old last Monday. Now it’s March, and you only have to say April, May, JUNE!!! and we’ve got a birthday comin’. Goodness. For me, this past month has been a whirlwind. Everybody has just been so sick, including me. There was some serious downtime for each member of the family. Even […]

a seven month taco

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. Soon after she entered into her seventh month Lydia experienced the whirlwind that is the Holiday season. She is always keen on […]
