Update on our Sweetheart

Lydia is now 3 months adjusted age. She is almost 6 months old real age. It is kind of crazy when I think back to the beginning. She has come so far. We used to be ecstatic when she ate 15 mls (1/2 oz) and it was a huge feat! Now she eats 4 ounces every time. She is a champion at eating! She loves talking to us and sounds like a seagull. By 6 months real age, she should be able to say da, ba, and ga. She can say ga, but doesn't do the others yet. She is doing amazing. She is expected to meet milestones at her adjusted age, but she is meeting a lot of them on her real age. She sits with help, rolls over both ways(though she doesn't really care to roll from her back to tummy), and she has discovered her tongue. She is like a little lizard now. She constantly sticks it out and blows to make noise. Even in her sleep..

Lately on Facebook, I have noticed that a lot of people are talking about how sick they or their kids are. It's that time of year. Everyone is about to get colds and stuff. I wish I could quarantine Lydia more than she already is. I don't think I do the whole child in the hospital thing again. She's gotta stay healthy!

Lydia likes to sleep on our bed. She was so tired the other day so I laid her down on the floor and she kept crying, so I put her in her crib.. no luck. I held her and she still wouldn't go to sleep. I laid her on our bed and she was out in just a few minutes. She is going to be a little stinker.

I got one of those emails from Gerber (not sure how I ended up on their list) advertising their cute baby contest. I did something crazy. I actually uploaded a picture of our sweet baby for the contest. I mean, she IS the cutest baby after all. I know we won't win or anything, but it's fun to share how cute our little miracle is with the world.

Now let me overload you with pictures! (description of picture is under the pic)

 Sometimes she reminds me of a little hamster

 I love her "booty in the air" sleeping position

 Early morning doctor appointments are hard on all of us

 So cute and snuggled up

 So expressive!

 Blessing day

 Sometimes we go outside during daylight. This is rare.

 She loved General Conference

 This is the picture I submitted to Gerber(above)

 I love this picture even though it's blurry

 Liddy throws her hands behind her head and chills out a lot

 Her favorite part of her play mat is the mirror... we are in trouble

 Being weighed at the doctor

 She is a superhero

 Kickin' it back in her skinny jeans

 She likes to pull the covers up to her face

 She started at the complete opposite end.. she is a mover

 Can't handle that lip

 

Next 3 pics-- Lydia wrote a message to her cousin in heaven and we let it go!You can see how much she loves Ava by her face.

 Thomas was watching Liddy while I was at church. He put on a discussion of the scriptures and it put her right to sleep.

 I made Lydia a little taggie blanket
