Catching up. The story of my life :) OK, I hope the pictures work this time! I am trying to learn how to upload pictures faster...and obviously the way I tried last night did not work....What just happened to the past 3 1/2 months?? Getting around to blogging and sewing the button back on the pants Brian gave me to fix in November has only taken me 3 1/2 months. Sorry Honey! Here are a few quick highlights from our eventful past few months. It was hard to narrow down the hundreds of pictures I have taken...but here it goes.
Hooray for a visit with Jud!! We only get 1 or 2 a year. Hope we are changing that this year! We miss you bro! Harris family grill night.

Family shot on thanksgiving. Don't look too close or you will see the start of my 2 pink eyes that have since flared up 3 times....thankfully I have not passed it along, as far as I know. If I was not a crazy hand washer before, I am now. Surprised I still have skin on my hands :)
Harris/Sutton/Cosby/McDonald Thanksgiving shot....dont be fooled by the Santa hats...we were just bringing in the season :) I can always count on Mom to bring out something for us to wear!
Aunt Robyn took some family shots of us at Thanksgiving. Thanks Rob!! What a blessing to have a great photographer for a sister.....I aspire to be one someday....it's on the list....
Lydia loves her Aunt Robyn!!
After breakfast yesterday morning, I decided it was time to do a quick photo shoot of our rapidly growing gal! Since we just went for a 15 month check up last week, we found out Lydia is gaining ground on the growth chart finally! She weighs 20.9 lbs (13%) and is 29 inches long (12%), still sweet and petite :) This has been such a fun season of watching her learn SO many new things and trying to say EVERYTHING.....in her own language of course! I am learning that everything I say is sinking in that little head, so I better be careful! For example, since I say "Weeee" every time I push her in the swing, she now says "wee wee" when she just sees the swing :) Boy, are we glad it is swinging weather!! It is amazing how God created seasons and uses something as simple as changing temperatures to bring such joy and refreshment to His children! 
Lydia is 1! She surprised us on her birthday by standing up in her crib for the first time! It won't be hard to remember the date of that milestone :) We can't believe it has been a year since our sweet girl was born. What a fun adventure this year has been! Talk about trial and error....hopefully she won't remember all the boo boos we have made as first time parents! We should be pros by our next one right?? Her little personality is coming out more every day. She is loving to pull up and climb on anything big in sight. Good thing we took the book cases out of the playroom! The beginning of this week she finally started cutting a tooth! It is hard to see but I can feel it on the bottom gum. Teeth will sure be handy for this big eater!
