I Like Being 32!

I had a wonderful Birthday! Lots of kind wishes and gifts from family and friends. Babysitter success with complete peace of mind. A BBQ dinner date filled with great conversation. Icing on the Birthday cake, Lydia slept through the night with only one pacifier put back. Megan

My Birthday

Today I turn 32! Don't get me wrong, 31 was an amazing year but I'm older now. How do I know? When I buy alcohol at the grocery store, I no longer get carded though this sticker is staring right at me. I know I feel 32 and I must look it too. Yes, we have plans to celebrate! John and I have hired our first sitter (dum dum dummm) for a dinner out. Megan

Jumping

For the past six weeks Lydia's Jumperoo could have been renamed "Standeroo." Today, Lydia put the pieces together and realized she could jump in it. Here is a clip of her enjoying some exercise. Gotta strengthen those legs for soccer kicks! Megan http://youtu.be/dZIKUYBPL6A

First Family Photo

This is our first family photo, taken two days after Lydia was born. It is now framed and sits on our bedside table. When I show it to Lydia, she lights up, all smiles and squeals. Megan

This Holiday Season's Hottest Fashion Trend

What is the hottest trend this winter in men's fashion? Baby wearing! John picked out this Baby Bjorn at the local thrift store for a buck. Lydia loves having a front seat to his tinkerings. Megan

Lydia Has Got This

Whenever I start to worry about Lydia, she sends me telepathic messages that say "Don't worry Mommy. It is taken care of. I got this." Case in point, the wedding in Annapolis. I noticed two slightly older babies sitting up independently. Of course, I stated to wonder why Lydia was unable to sit up on her own. Less than two weeks later, look who's sitting up now! Lydia, you are right. You got this. Megan

Eyes on the Prize, Night Three Complete and Successful

Another night of sleep! Sleep training complete? I hate to be a cynic, but it seems too good to be true. Megan
