My Big Green Tractor

I'll take you for a ride on my big green tractor!

This is one of their favorite things to do together...ride the tractor. Mom was a little concerned about it at first...it doesn't seem all that safe. But.... after watching for awhile Daddy convinced Mommy that he was holding her tight and that she would not fall off!

It's been awhile since I've updated...we seem to stay pretty busy and when we are home, we're likely to be taking a nap or two together! Lydia is a busy one year old. She has 12 teeth now. Her bottom molars are through, but are still working their way to the top. She's not enjoying that too much. She is a chatter box..although a lot of it I don't understand. But, she does say a few things...mama, dada, papa, kitty, chicken, dog, thank you. I try to get her to say please when she wants food or more food, but instead she just brings me what she wants and says mama, mama, mama while she's pushing it in my face. I'm sure please will come, but for now I enjoy here mama as much as she wants to say it!

I'm 16 weeks along now and finally starting to feel better. I have been watching what I eat a little more in the past few weeks, and that seems to help. I still go to bed early and take a little afternoon nap when Lydia takes hers, but I feel like I have a little more energy. We go back to the doctor on September 18 for our 20 week sonogram. Please be praying that everything looks good with the baby....they will be checking the major organs, etc.

Our Visit to Oak Run

I had so much fun visiting Uncle Dean and Aunt Chris. Here are a few things I did...

went swinging at the park,

went on a boat ride,

played in the sand,




and stole Mommy's tooth brush so I could brush my teeth!

We had a wonderful time. Lydia loved the beach. She especially liked to rake the sand and pick it up and give it to me. She enjoyed the boat ride too. Uncle Dean had a fun time making her go forward and back as she tried to walk around the boat. Cousin Lily and Cousin Bailey kept her giggling by carrying her all over and giving her plenty of attention. She had a hard time winding down at night due to everything going on, but when she did get to sleep, she slept very well in her pack n play. That made Mommy very happy cause she was able to get some sleep too! Thanks Uncle Dean and Aunt Chris for letting us visit!!
