19 Months!

Lydia is 19 months old!  Time keeps flying!

Loves Papa's kitty!

We were just at the doctor yesterday for her 18 month well child check (we're a little behind!).  Lydia weighs just shy of 25 pounds (50% for her age) and is 33 inches tall (90% for her age).  I'm not sure that is completely accurate, but it's in the books!

Giving George a ride

Loving on Ellie Anna!

Lydia has been busy like normal!  It seems we're always on the go this summer.  When it is time to settle down, Lydia has been a bit better napper than last month.  We sometimes get 40 minutes in the crib, and sometimes it's 1 1/2 hours.  You just never know!  Lydia is usually up between 6:30-7:30 yet, and doesn't go down for a nap until 2:00 and bed at 9:00.  Sometimes those days are long for Mommy!

Parade time!

Holding her cups hostage from Mommy...

Like I said, we've been busy!  Here's some highlights from the past month:

7/2-7/5: Yankton vacation with the Vermeer family

7/5: watched Daddy's fireworks for the first time & loved them!

7/7: started doing somersaults

7/11: went to Hull Summerfest parade

7/14: went to the Sioux County Fair to see the animals & watch the beef show

7/16-7/17: took a mini vacay to Omaha, complete with a waterpark & the zoo!  Got to see Trista & Korver!

7/18: double ear infection :(

7/21: 1st haircut!  Just a little trim in the back & bangs

7/25: went swimming with some of Daddy's friends at the hotel pool in town; played with Natalie!

7/26: played at the elementary school park

7/27: got a spanking for not listening & standing on the rolling kitchen chairs :(

7/29: 18 month checkup & rode bike to Hills Park to play!

Lydia is loving every minute of summer: bubbles, sandbox, swing, exploring outside, walks, bike rides, the farm, etc.  She continues to love books, going to the furniture store & the library, doing somersaults, George & Minnie, hats, and giving hugs!

Lydia hasn't liked anything (peas, green beans, sweet corn) we've had from the garden/field this year.  She did enjoy licking the butter off of the sweet corn!  Lydia also doesn't like the word "No."  No big surprise there!

Grandpa & Grandma's sandbox!

Lounging in laundry!

We are blessed that Lydia continues to be a healthy and happy little girl!
