I took Lydia to get her picture taken. I didn't know what the experience would be like, but I really would like to get all three kids' picture taken soon. I thought that I would let her try it by herself so that next time she would be more comfortable. Well, let's just say WOW! I almost spent way too much $ because of all the adorable shots! The lady photographer was excellent. Lydia started crying and tried to run out of the room at first. I explained our situation and the photographer just sat down on the floor and waited. Then we began with some shots of her teddy grahams...HA! Then Mommy and Lydia...I did not purchase those... And then smiles and giggles and wonderful pictures to remember her first months home!
Everyone asks how she is doing... She is truly a miracle and a blessing in our lives. I have to remind myself that she has only been in our arms for two months. That does not mean life is just peachy with perfect little smiles and politeness radiating from all 5 of us at all times. Have you ever met an almost 3 year old? (or the rest of us crazies?) She is busy, has a mind of her own, likes to do EXACTLY what her brother is doing, whines, cries, gives kisses, giggles, loves to brush her teeth, is putting 2-3 words together (although it is hard to understand), loves to swing, wants to go outside, does not like to be told "no".
Lydia's "new" adventures:
-kicking a ball
-fleece footy PJs...She had no idea what to think about that contraption that I zipped her into!
-high school football games
-blowing kisses on your tummy
-timeout
-riding in the seat on the back of my bike
What a blessing Lydia Vinita is to us!
I took more pictures of her in the brown chair, but at the moment I don't know where our camera is...
Then we finally got a cute shot of my Mama with the kiddos. She is usually behind the camera so she doesn't make it into very many pictures herself.
Off to open house we ventured with an excited little guy. While waiting in line for our food (which was really nice of them to provide a supper), David was his usual self and found the counter top a nice place to hold onto and jump. Well, thankfully he didn't hit square in the forehead or between the eyes. Rather, he tried to scrape his nose off his cute little face. So, needless to say after some tears and a cookie, we still enjoyed his open house. And it will be a little while longer until I schedule a time to get all the of the kiddos picture taken...
