Past and Present

One of the most thoughtful gifts we received to celebrate Lydia's birth was this double frame from Great-Aunt Peggy and Great-Uncle Jim. John's mom is pictured on the left. Along with the frame was the exact dress that Phyllis wore when the photo was taken, which Peggy and Jim discovered this past year while organizing Great-Grandma Sager's home, as well as a beautiful heart locket. Today we re-created the photo and made a keepsake Lydia will cherish her entire life. Thank you Great-Aunt Peggy and Great-Uncle Jim. Megan

Nighty Night Lucy

John and I like to kid that the reason we had a child is so that at some point we won't have to walk Lucy anymore. Honestly though, Lucy is driving me insane with her constant "more walks," "more food," and "more play!" So today I am thankful for some relief from the heat. We just got back from an hour walk with Lucy followed by some free time running around the parking lot. Lucy will spend the rest of her day passed out on her pillow. Megan

Lydia, Waking Up

My favorite time to snuggle with Lydia is first thing in the morning. She is the most mellow she will be all day. Following her naps, you never know what mood Lydia will be in. Most of the time happy. Sometimes upset. Today she was impatient for me to pick her up out of the crib. Megan

The Dangers of Blogging

John was perusing the Navarre Press online and came across this article (link is below). Remember this picture??? It was taken way back in March and posted on this blog. Someone stole my photo! I am amused and a little proud. Megan

Pizza Anyone!?!?

Lydia's confidence is quite admirable. She has only been walking for about a week and already finds new ways to challenge herself. Megan

Put a Lid On It

Lydia loves playing with jars and lids, seeing how they fit together and can be pulled apart. Baby toys don't get any cheaper than free! Megan

Our Lil' Jayhawk

John and I had a very proud moment tonight as we watched Lydia walk around and pass her beach ball. Click on the link to see the video. Playing ball seems second nature to her. Maybe we need to consider moving to Lawrence!?!?! Megan
