Bre and Thomas!!: Liddy Marie

Miss Lydia is going to be 7 months old tomorrow! Crazy how time flies when you aren't in the NICU. At her 6 month check up, they said she is looking great! She weighs 12 lbs 1 oz. This puts her in the 10th percentile for weight for her adjusted age. This is the curve she has been on her whole life so it's good!

Lydia has met all the 4 month milestones and most of the 6 month ones. We are working on sitting right now. She loves to eat green beans and peas. She is not a huge fan of the fruit. I don't know where she gets it. I have a sweet tooth all the way.

Lydia likes going on walks and seeing the outside world. When we take her outside she gets really quiet and just looks around like she is taking it all in. She is a really happy baby (and as I am writing this she is screaming at me). She likes Wheels on the Bus and hates socks. She is a pretty funny girl and knows how to get what she wants(which is usually attention, food, or both).

For those of you who don't know the story behind her middle name: I do not have a middle name. However, my mom felt the need to have a middle name for me when she would yell at me(which was never ;) ). She used to call me Breanna Marie all the time. We needed a middle name for Lydia, so we named her after my fake middle name! Kinda silly, but it works.

Things for us are going well. We are moving to the Woodlands next week. I have mixed feelings. Thomas has a 1 and a half hour-2 hour commute right now and it will change to a 7 minute commute. It will be really really nice to have him around more. We will miss grandma and paw paw though. Lydia loves her grandparents and it has been really fun playing with them. We will, of course, visit. It will be an adjustment though.

Thomas has a medical school interview in March for a school in Washington state which is exciting! He is loving his job and doing amazing at it.

Every year, my mom asks for family pictures from each of the kids so she can put them on the wall. This year we got someone in our ward to do them. She did AMAZING! Lydia wouldn't smile even though she smiles all the time at home. We were outside, so I think she was distracted by the new surroundings. Here are some incredible pictures we had taken! After the good pictures, are pictures from my phone. She is getting cuter and cuter!
