Five Months

Who's got two thumbs and five months life experience under her belt? This girl!

Lydia is getting more and more fun these days, especially now that she's a pretty solid sitter.

She's also gotten really good rolling front to back and back to front. She now expects to be fed at the dinner table- usually oatmeal mixed with some vegetable. I've given her a few other adventurous things (because I can) to eat, but I'm going slow. She's a wonderful, adaptable baby. She doesn't mind going places in the car, probably from the 100+ hours of driving time this summer! Lydia loves her siblings, and has frequent shrieky conversations with Nora. She is back to being a dependable sleeper again, and usually sleeps 12 hours each night with a break to eat at around 3 a.m. Her smiles are frequent and heart melting, and her giggles are infectious. I'm one lucky mommy to have this girl!
