Our Little Lydi Bug is not seeming so little anymore. (Sniff) Her 1 year mark is approaching much, much, too quickly. This past month my baby seemed to completely change. She is crawling SO much faster, she pulls herself up to anything and everything, and just yesterday she tried to stand up in the middle of the floor with no support. I miss the tiny baby stage, (especially since we have two new nieces on the Rose side that are just the sweetest!) however, this busy, baby stage is so much fun! Lydia is getting pretty good at performing. She was (and still is) waving bye-bye, "Rocking Out," giving kisses. Her new assortment of tricks are: "What does the puppy say?"she will pant like a dog. It's so cute! She says "cracker" (it sounds more like "tra-ter") for any finger food. She has been saying "mama" and "dada" for a while, but I think just recently she figured out that I'm mama, and Brian is dada. When she is tired she'll crawl towards me and say "ma-ma-ma-ma-ma." When Brian gets home she'll start saying "da-da-da-da-da" while she's playing around on the floor. She loves feeding herself these days, and is starting to eat "real" food better than baby food. She is growing up TOO FAST! I love it and hate it all at the same time.

Here are some pictures of what she is up to these days.

Here she is walking along the chair to the end table.

Her first funny pony tail :)

How she sleeps these days. I love her little diaper bum in the air.

Trying to figure out how to eat with a spoon.

Her favorite thing in the world: Riding the 4-Wheeler! Here she is riding with her Great-Grandpa Scott and cousins.
