Crawling!

Look at her go!

It's so fun, Lydia has been learning to crawl for a couple weeks now mostly on other people's carpet but it seems like just the last few days she has really figured out she can go places and get things. She still doesn't like our wood floor so that's why we have a blanket down. Her knees are so red today. Even on our laps she is trying to crawl away and get something- the grass is always greener on the other... lap :-) It's a little bitter sweet because she is happy, and I'm glad she is progressing so well, but I love just holding her and cuddling her on my lap without her trying to run away. She has always been such a content baby that I was spoiled. She is still wonderful though and I'll probably pine for her to be just crawling when she walks :-) I love each new stage so much so it will be great!

Trains

Around our Christmas tree (which I left till february) was a train I got for Christmas 2007 that just went around and whistled and everything. One day I sat Lydia by it and she just watched it go around and around waiting for it to come back and got excited every time.

Then we went to a train museum with the kids and she was looking at them- They are huge and it was bright but it was fun. All the kids loved it, we'll have to go back when the rest of the cars are open.

Talking?

Lydia is very funny. She has started squaking to get attention then if someone talks back to her she keeps doing it :-) She and Melody went back and forth like this for like 5 minutes so I had to grab a bit of video.

She has also started blowing raspberries with her lips. She licks them all slobbery and blows it all over me. It's pretty messy but so funny. With all these noises I'm trying to get her to imitate other ones too but she just thinks I'm silly and watches, or maybe she is bored of me because she laughs so readily for everyone else :-)
