Update: January - March 2014 (part 1)

Thursday, April 3, 2014

Even though I haven't blogged since Christmas, there has been a lot going on with us.  Check out all the pictures and captions about what we've (really Lydia) has been up to...

Lydia receives 7 tutus for christmas and puts them on all at the same time!  She loves dress up, whether in Princess dresses or tutus.

Nana's birthday dinner: Lydia helps Nana choose her birthday mini bundt cake with Aunt Mary

Mom turned 65 this year so we celebrated with wine.

Cousin Lindsey took Lydia to the zoo on MLK day.


Snow day at school: Lydia loved the snow and sledding

Lydia and Charlotte played with the snow and ate a lot of it.

Daddy helped Lydia with the sleds down the hill.

Lydia and Kiernan hanging out.  Lydia is a great big cousin to Kiernan.

 Lydia is really into princesses and uses this sheet as Rapunzel's hair.  She loves to run around with the sheet on her head playing "Tangled".

January and February were really cold months this year.  Lydia would wake up and go make sure Harley was covered with a blanket no matter where she was in the morning (usually on the chair or couch).  This particular morning, I walked in and asked what was going on.  Lydia had turned on the tv all by herself and said that Harley really wanted to watch the Olympics.

Lydia got her new "big sister bed".  We got her a queen size frame and moved her bed into the middle of the room like a big girl.  She has loved it and it's really helped her sleeping (meaning she rarely gets up in the middle of the night now).

Another cold morning where she made sure Harley was warm with blankets.  I know Harley loves it as she doesn't move a muscle when Lydia wraps her up.

Valentine's Day: she looks so old in this picture!

On Valentine's Day, a neighbor got a special visit from Elmo.  Lydia, Emma and Layton loved his visit.

We went to a fundraiser at the Butterfly Museum and Lydia had fun.  This picture was taken as we were waiting for our car to go home...obviously she was upset we were leaving all the fun.

Lydia at the Children's Museum.  Cousin Lindsey took her on a no school day and she had a blast.

Rodeo Time: Lydia loved the livestock show - she loved meeting Bevo too!

At Lydia's school auction: We had a lot of fun with our friends (you can totally tell I'm 7 month pregnant here)

Lydia on "Go Texan Day": those boots are her Uncle Paul's boots from when he was her age.  She loves them!

Lydia started swim lessons at the end of February:  She smiles so big when she jumps in!

Who is the most photogenic here?  Of course it's Kiernan!  She's the happiest baby and so sweet.  She loves to cuddle and snuggle.  So does Lydia in this picture.  And yes, I'm getting bigger and bigger.
