What Lydia's been up to...

I've been a blog slacker...

So time to do some updating...
I thought I would start with Lydia, because let's face it... I take more pictures of her...
She's learning lots...

She's been chatting away and saying more and more things to us that are totally making sense... it's sooooo fun!


She's been learning to color (on the chalkboard)...


 and learning to color other places too...


(She knew she was in trouble from the 2nd I saw her and said her name. :))

But she's also learned how to use those big brown eyes of hers to make everything right again...


She's learning new tricks with her big sisters...


And picked up quickly on "chasing down candy" at the Homecoming parade...


...she was quite content to eat the piece she got before going back for the next...


She's learned to be a fabulous momma to her dollies...


 ...and she has by no means mastered this next trick of hers...


But she does get a lot of reading time in...

Truly she would prefer to do this with her potty seat...
than actually USE it...

But she has issues and wants to "run free" as much as possible... and would prefer to stand in the bathroom and piddle rather than actually be on the toilet...

I guess it's a start...  (she is only 21 months... I know... I know :))

I've been keeping her in overalls and onesies so that she doesn't houdini out of that diaper of hers and leave poop smeared around in her crib like I found last week...

Not a trick that I thought I would post for you... :)

But here's one that I will...

She's learning about her shadow...
Totally the cutest thing when they are trying to find out who that friend is that is attached to them!


And she loves her sisters...
She's pretty much Jadyn's little shadow...
A shadow with an attitude who does NOT do everything Jadyn asks her to!


We kindof like having her around...
Stay tuned for what the rest of us have been up to...

Angie - your family is so darling! I wanted to ask you where you got your blue wigs for your halloween costumes last year. I'm so lame, but I am totally copying you. That was the cutest idea and I thought it would be simple, but i'm having a hard time finding the wigs...

Anyway, We will be going up to Wellsville American Heritage park in the next couple of weeks for the maze etc.. we would love to see you guys! Your girls are so beautiful and you and Shane look the same!! (sorry if you get this twice!)

What a cutie! The potty training phase is NOT something I am looking forward to. I think I'll just leave Trey with you for a couple weeks since you've done it so many times!! Lydia is getting SO big! Maybe when we come home for Thanksgiving she can teach Trey a thing or two about talking. He wants nothing to do with it!
