10 months

9 months

Lydia is 9 months old today. The last week she has been walking. She takes up to 12 steps at a time and then decides she could get there faster crawling. She is ahead of big brother and sister by a month. However, she does not like sleeping much and still loves nursing. Laila and Landon were sleeping through the night at 5 months and Lydia still wakes up at least twice a night to nurse. I am sure I could brake her of this habit if I would just allow her to cry....but she is the baby so things are different this time around. Laila and Landon were also weaning themselves off nursing and completely done by 10 months. I don't see this happening anytime soon. Yet again, she may be our last so I don't mind for now. :)

7 months

This picture pretty much explains what Lydia is up to now at 7 months. She tries to stand any chance she gets. She wants me to hold her hands so she can stand and gets cranky if I set her down. She took a step holding onto a coffee table yesterday. I am so not ready for this but it is exciting at the same time. I keep wondering what Lydia will add to the mix of playtime with her brother and sister. Brad's grandpa taught her how to clap on cue this week. She has started talking up a storm. She is making mamama and dadadada and bubububub(we think she is trying to say bubba...haha) sounds. Lydia is still our happy little baby girl who always makes us smile and has a special way of calming me down when I am having a stressful day.

6 months

I spotted her first tooth coming in on the bottom 2 nights ago. She is trying to pull herself up already. I want my baby to stay a baby longer:(

I want these

these are so adorable. I have been wanting to buy Lydia these before she was born. 32 dollars is a lot to spend on shoes that will probably fall off at some point and may never be found again :/
