First Ferris Wheel Ride...

We went to The Aquarium downtown with Blair's parents and nieces last weekend.  It was so much fun and we think this was the first time for Lydia to see fish.  Dinner was pretty good and Lydia had her first hamburger (well, a couple of bites of Blair's burger).  She liked it too, so no vegetarian for this girl.
After dinner we walked around the carnival games and rides outside.  We took a ferris wheel ride and Lydia, Charlotte and Caroline had a great time and none of them were scared at all of the height.  We were above the freeway and it was very entertaining for them.
Even though Lydia's face doesn't look like she was having fun in the pictures, I promise she was smiling most of the time...just not for picture time.

I was telling Blair how handsome he is and Lydia gave me this look like - "gosh Mom, just take the picture already". 

Honey loves being with her grand-girls.  You can see we are above 45 here.  The girls are watching Caroline as she is entertaining all of us.

Caroline really wanted to hold Lydia.  Sure, why not while we are 100 feet up in the air.  Charlotte just wanted to watch the cars on the freeway.  All these girls are fearless!!

Last picture of the night in front of the carousel.  Lydia is super tired and ready to go, but had so much fun with her cousins!

July/August with Lydia

In late July...

Lydia got to go to her first birthday party where she was invited as a friend, not as the baby of Lisa and Blair.  The swim party was fantastic and Lydia even got a party favor (the pink chair), which she is in love with.  She sits in it every day and is now trying to stand up in it.

In early August...

On August 5th, Lydia was 9 months old.  We went to the Dr. for our 9 month check up.  We in the waiting room and her face says it all about the experience...not a fan.

She is in the 87th percentile for height and 85th percentile for weight at 21 lbs.  She is so tall that she can now reach our locks on the doors.  Good thing she can't turn them or we would have an escapee on our hands.

I'm not really sure what to say about this picture.  Lydia's "mad" face makes me crack up.  She sticks her bottom lip out and her cheeks just get bigger.  As Aunt Mary says "How can you take her serious when she's so darn cute?"
