Blue, Blue, Blue is what Braylon calls the Mountaineers. He loves that song. Here are some cute WVU pictures of our little one in Daddy's WVU office.
Well here is Lydia with the Donato men...Lydia is named after Lydia "Lena" Donato these guys mother, my grandmother. My dad is the one with the grey shirt and glasses. My dad's older brother Luke is the one with the yellow shirt and glasses and his younger brother Mike is the only one not wearing glasses. This was at dinner the other night while my Uncle Luke is up visiting from KY. I wish I had noticed the glare on dad's glasses before...but in the little view thingy I have, everything looked fine.
I think this one is really funny. We tried and tried to get these kids to look at us. Braylon is in the "I don' t want my picture taken" phase. Lydia was just to busy exploring to be bothered by her Aunt Miranda and mommy taking pictures. I think she is looking at me and saying" enough already mom, I am outta here"
Here is an example of how "thrilled" Braylon was on getting his picture taken. We told him we were not taking his picture, we were taking Lydia's picture. We needed him to be a big boy and hold Lydia for us since she was a tiny baby...well looks like Lydia was holding him! I am not sure how her arm got back there..but it think it is really cute picture. Don't they look like good buddies!
Braylon gave up on his big boy duties and we got some alone pictures of Lydia.
I don't know what they are both examining but they seem very interested.
and of course, Lydia had to try and eat a some leaves..no wonder the kid ended up sick! She will try and eat everything execpt the Cherrios and Banana puffs I want her to feed herself!
Lydia did this pose completely by herself..it was so funny. I put her in the chair and she slumped herself over and propped her foot up like that...it ws too cute.
Cold mornings....but the rest of the weather was beautiful...We were in Harmon and Miranda's parents camp. It is a great place for kids because of the big open field where they can run and play and you can keep your eye on them. We really had a nice time.
Lydia LOVED crawling around on the leaves. They made the same crinkle sound her book makes...
One of the few time we could get her to look at the camera, she was too busy examining the leaves..
like here.
Here you go, the picture is not very well done...she is not aligned with the purple line like I have been trying to do but I could hardly get her to stay still long enough...most of the ones I took she was in mid-roll. She loves crawling around. She goes, goes, goes.....
Lydia is coming after you...this morning I peaked in to see her...(on Thursdays I leave the house at 7 and she is not awake yet) and her little hand was hanging out of her crib, resting on top of the bumper pad..it was so cute. I tried to take a picture but I think she could smell me by then because she started rumbling around. And last night it was crazy trying to take her picture on the blanket..she will not stay still long enought. It is nuts trying to change her diaper and get clothes on her. Although it is annoying at time, I think it is exciting that she is becoming more independent and can get the toy she wants and crawl to the place she wants to get to....She also is loving standing up in her crib and bouncing up and down. She cannot pull herself up...(Mark claims to have seen her standing in the crib once, and Poppi says she is starting to try and pull herself up on the funiture) If I stand her up, she loves holding onto the railing and standing there. This is also the new way we get through church without a scene. She stands on the pew and looks at all the folks behind us.
Here is Lydia having a good time helping daddy work. She is getting better at playing by herself as long as you are in the room with her. So she hangs out and crawls around in daddy's office.
Daddy was told that he used to sleep with his butt in the air. So imagine his delight when he walked in and found Lydia sleeping like this...I am begining to wonder if I was involved in this process at all! I will hopefully get her 8 month quilt shot up tonight or tomorrow.
