Funny little expression.

Lydia in March of 2010.

I came across this photo tonight
and I thought it was such a funny little expression of Lydia.
I loved this stage of Lydia.
But I was telling a friend just yesterday every stage is my favorite.
Right now she is talking like mad crazy.
At her 15 month appointment her doctor asked if she was saying any words.
Greg and I listed all the ones we could think of off the top of our heads.
Our doctor was like,"oh, well she is way beyond what she needs to be,
usually they only say two or three words frequently by 15 months."
Then the doctor turns to me and says,
"Does the mother talk a lot,
is that why?"
Then I quickly responded,
"Well her Dad talks a lot too,
so it's not just me!"

She also has like an evil giggle.
It's not her real giggle.
Just a forced one she likes to do when she thinks
she's funny or finds something silly.
And she will do it with me when I mimic her.

Lydia can climb up on chairs and some couches now.
She has given me mini-heartattacks
finding her on top of chairs and tables standing there
laughing that evil laugh of hers.

Loves Minnie mouse.
She will scream Minnie's name over 
and over again when watching Mickey Mouse's clubhouse.

She has a random back molar that came through
who knows how long ago.
Her teeth have came in at the most random times
in the most random spots.

She will run into my arms several times
in the day just to give me a hug.
So much fun.
Hates when other babies are sitting in my lap.
She will try to push them out.

I know it sounds crazy,
but nursery in church is just around the corner
and I am kind of sad about it.
Just another step in her life that makes her 
more independent from me.

I love my Lydia.
She's seriously my best friend next to her dad.
I hope it always stays that way.

I love hearing all the things that she is up to. It makes me feel like I know her a little better. I can't believe how well she talk too. I think that is one of Claire's problems, I think she whines so much because she can't tell us what she wants. She has seriously turned into a monster. RIght now I definately don't love her stage. Maybe Lydia can teach her to talk at Thanksgiving!!!

What a great post! I love to hear parents talk about their sweet little ones and I can tell you just love her unconditionally. I just think your family is adorable and you make me even more excited for the day when we will finally have our own.
