7.5

Lydia has changed so much in the last 6 weeks! It seems like every day she is doing something new or doing something better.

Eating: Lydia is eating a variety of fruits and veggies. A couple weeks ago she started eating puffs and cheerios, and to my surprise started feeding herself immediately! We're starting to give her finely chopped foods. She is learning to drink from a sippie cup.

Sleeping: The accomplishment that I am most happy about! Not only is she regularly sleeping through the night, but she is also sleeping in her crib in the nursery with Brett!

Moving: Lydia is doing a lot of moving! Maybe not quite technically a crawl yet, but she scoots herself to wherever she wants to be (to our cat's horror). She goes from crawling to sitting and from sitting to crawling. She likes to "stand" holding on to something and is even starting to pull up on lower surfaces like the bottom bar of her crib or a basket (she's too small to pull up on furniture).

Loving: Lydia loves to sing songs and rock, swing, watch TV, swim, go for outings and walks and babble. She loves animals! She likes to play with her brother.

Lydia smiles and laughs as much as she fusses and cries. Her smile lights up our world! She is very strong, determined, and curious. We are so thankful God blessed us with our little girl!
