Hard to believe that my precious little girl, Lydia, is 18 months old! Time seems to just fly by and I can't wrap my head around it! She weighed in at 25 pounds and 31 inches tall...80% for weight at 50% for height! She is such a joy to our family. She has an adorable attitude and seems far more grown up at this age than our other two, probably because she tries to be like them! She gives the best kisses, blows kisses when saying sorry, gives sweet hugs, and says "hi" to anyone who passes by us. She is by far our more social one:) She LOVES dogs and cats and can't handle herself around them because she is just so excited to be around them. She squeals, giggles, and tries to grab them and squeeze them hard just because she wants to touch them so much! We often have to remind her to be soft in many situations because she tends to get overly excited and her energy exceeds normal limits! Her favorite snack is yogurt, cheese, fruit snacks, or squeezable applesauce. She loves juice, black berries, and will eat chunky salsa anyday! She eats sometimes more and better than her older sisters!
Lydia LOVES her bike. Anytime we go to the garage to get in the car, I have to peel her off her bike. She gets so mad that I won't let her ride it all the time. She is amazing at riding her bike! She bullets down the driveway at intense speed (so fast it makes me nervous,) then she is able to steer her bike onto the sidewalk before going into the street. She pushes her little legs fast and then lifts them up when she gets up to speed. It is hilarious to watch and honestly one of my favorite memories of this girl!
Lydia loves her blanket and binky and is almost ALWAYS holding a baby doll. She plays with them more than any other toy, which is convenient since we have lots of babies to go around! Her favorite song is Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree and just recently, she won't let us sing anything else to her at night before bedtime! So we sing a lot of Popcorn at our house! She loves to dance with her big sisters, but also loves to throw balls...she's got a great arm! She is a bundle of energy and often gives me a run for my money when she runs out in the street (unlike my other two who wouldn't ever leave my side.) I am learning what anxiety it gives when you put your child down, turn around one second later to see her running off and looking back with a grin that says "Come and get me Mom!" I can't help but laugh my head off while I chase her knowing I look like a fool! But her happiness is contagious and its so hard for me to get mad at her. She is starting to grow out of her "screaming for anything" stage, now that she can say lots of words. She says Mom, Dad, baby, puppy, Banana, Hannah, Zisah (for Alissa), please, cheese, beebee (binky), toes, tummy, shoes, and many more that I can't think of right now!
I have three of the greatest blessings in my life- my three daughters! They are all such good friends, which is what I always want with my children. They love to play with one another and are very patient with Lydia as she is learning how to share and play with her older sisters! My life is so full with these beauties and I am more in love with them than I ever thought my heart could be!
Sister kisses! LOVE these girls!
