50/362- Charlotte loves to lick Lydia.

51/362- Lydia is a great helper with crocheting.

54/362- Nursery project waiting to happen and a shoe hiding under the crib.

55/362- Sunday afternoon light from the blinds.

The blinking light.

Doesn't it look like I can really get Lydia smiling and having fun with me in these pictures?

She actually loves the blinking light on my camera.

Maybe I helped her smile in a couple of pictures, but that blinking light sure did most of the work.

But I can pretend that it was just me she was smiling with right?

Almost on the move.

Lydia is so close to getting her crawl on.

She can turn herself on her belly and push herself back.

I can tell that forward motion of movement is just around the corner!

I'm so proud of my girl.

44/362- Do I see spring coming?

45/362- Didn't know what else to take a picture of today, so why not me?

46/362- Greg setting up Lydia's crib.

47/362- My brother-in-law Brian.

Brucschetta.

I made bruschetta for my family's Valentine dinner.

I was so proud.

I kept asking everyone, "Have you tried the bruschetta?"

And saying,

"It's really good bruschetta!",

"I made this bruschetta, have some!"

Everyone humored me and said it was delicious bruschetta

because I am the youngest of the family.

And they are used to humoring me.

Gregory thought the bruschetta was delicious.

Kristen did too, but Tayden was much yummier to smooch on.

Madre made a plethora of italian dishes.

Kristen and I conked out from eating too much...bruschetta.

Are you sick of me typing bruschetta yet?

Greg kept bugging, I mean asking, Madre to make pina coladas.

She finally caved in and served them up to us in nice glasses even!

Lydia enjoying a nice cold one.

 Lydia couldn't figure out how to use the straw,

so I didn't have to share!

That drink was all mine.

Virign style of course.

Now I am telling you that you MUST look at my photo blog.

RUN don't walk(if that's possible) to my photo blog,

because newborn baby Caleb

is that adorable.

Valentine portraits.

Some portraits taken on Valentine's Day afternoon.

And I especially love that Lydia gives a different expression in each one.

Such a model that girl is!

362 Project. Week Six.

35/362- You bet that's me wearing socks with those shoes.

36/362- My view of the mountains.

37/362- Picking up some groceries.

38/362- Inside the Dough boys restaurant.

38/362- One of the many outtakes from Friday's Valentine shoot.

Lydia loved to rip those hearts off the wall.

39/362- White chocolate covered strawberries, grapes, and a couple of oreos.  

We basically ate a whole bin of strawberries in one sitting that night.

40/362- Gregory with his Valentines.

The most scrumptious Valentine.

Sorry folks!...

This scrumptious little Valentine is taken!

Hope everyone has a lovey dovey Valentine's weekend.

We plan on dipping a lot of fruit in white chocolate followed by a fancy Valentine's dinner with family

and smooching on miss Lydia Denise of course.

I can't wait!

Some might think awkward.

Some people might think it's awkward having a dog stare at you while you are bathing 

and trying to even drink your bath water at times.

But I don't think Lydia seems to mind.
