10 Months Old!

39 weeks

40 weeks

41 weeks

42 weeks

43 weeks
Ten Months Old!
Blurry, but such a pretty girl <3








Weight: 19 lbs. (done at home)

Eating: This month we tried cauliflower, squash, blueberries, and oatmeal. She is still nursing 4 times during the day and eating a solid dinner. Maybe by next month we will wean the mid-morning nursing out. Girlfriend loves to eat and often never stops until I stop giving her food.

Sleeping: She is taking two naps during the day. A morning nap around 9AM which is normally 30mins-1hr and an afternoon nap around 1:30PM which is normally around 2 hours long. She really fights the morning nap unless we are in the car, but loves her afternoon nap.

Nighttime sleeping is SO much better than last month. She is going to bed around 7:45PM and sleeping soundly until around 6AM. I wish she would sleep a little later into the day, but it is much better than being up all night! She also needs her daddy to kiss her good-night. I normally put her to bed, but the past few weeks she won't stay asleep until he snuggles her. <3 Which is really sweet unless daddy doesn't get home until 10PM and she still isn't sleeping soundly.

New Skills: SO many new skills this month happened one after the other! She is crawling and pulling up and even cruising! She also learned how to wave and give kisses. She has definitely learned a ton in the last month!

Things She Loves: Much to my dismay, she loves stairs and is always speed crawling to the closest ones when I am not looking. She also loves eating, her brother, going on walks, dancing to music, playing peek-a-boo, giving high-fives! Oh she LOVES babies! She gives so many kisses and giggles and smiles! Specifically with Rohen and Maxson <3

Things She Doesn't Like: She absolutely hates waiting for me to nurse her in the morning. She is okay if I am holding her, but once she is up in the morning she wants her milk ASAP! It is the only thing she has ever demanded.

Exciting Things We Did:

We went swimming at the Gehman's pool. Lydia loves the water! 



We took a family day trip to Gifford Pinchot. We had a blast and it was the best day ever, but then a bug attacked us and it really put a damper on things and we headed home early. And seriously, it attacked us. It didn't sting us, but it kept divebombing our heads and wouldn't leave us alone. We have no idea what type of bug it was. 





We tried so hard to get a good picture :-P

Lydia's first time in sand!



Too cute of a photo not to include. Even with the finger blob. We practically had the whole place to ourselves! 

More Pictures: 
So close!


Daddy's Girl!

Terrible picture of Lydia's first time in a swing. She loved it and giggled the whole time!


We often go to Clay Township park because no one is ever there and Lydia can play too!

She loves her Grampy <3





Best Friends <3
A Note From Daddy: 
To My Little Lydi-girl,
I love you so so much! You’re not even a year yet, but you’re already learning so many things and your personality is electrifying. Your little giggle is my favorite. Especially when it’s spawned by your brother. You two are destined to be a handful…but I say bring it on! Thank you for letting me be your daddy and greeting me at the screen door each day when I get home from work. I’ll be honest, I don’t pray for you as much as I should, but here is what my prayer will start being for you:“Jesus, please help Lydia to be strong and courageous. Help her to never give up. May her easy-going, cheerful, and adventurous personality always find its sustenance in You. May You be her joy and strength. Prepare her for whatever plans You have for her. Help me, her dad, to point her in the right direction and be a Christ-like example of the Godly man she should *one day* seek. Show Yourself to her in a way that she will know without a shadow of doubt that true happiness and freedom can only be found in knowing You. Amen.”Love you baby girl!-Dadda
