6 Months and a hair cut later...

My Lil' Miss is 6 months old. We are all so happy to have her around. Lydia is definitely a joy to be around. What is she like today?

Well I will tell ya...

She still sleeps through out the night. Not particularly fond of anyone other than me (mom) but just when she is tired. She absolutely adores Arlee and the time they spend together. It is of course mutual too. Arlee has fun talking to her and making her laugh. What really gets Lydia going is when Arlee laughs. It is hilarious to watch them laugh with each other.

Eating: She still eats about 28 oz of formula and a little bit of rice cereal a day. The rice cereal is best eaten if Arlee barks at her. Don't ask me why, but she loves it. Parents do all kinds of things to get their kids to eat these days and Arlee- well she barks! Hahaha! Pretty funny to see as well.

Lydia is 15lbs 2oz., 25 inches long and her head is 41.75 cm. These make her in the 25th percentile for everything. I am guessing that the babies Lydia's age are just huge and the ones that were Arlee's age were tiny. Lydia doesn't seem that much smaller than Arlee was, but according to this she is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Arlee was always in the 80% by this age. Weird, I know.

For the last month or so Lydia has really found a passion for using her voice. She screeches, squeals, grunts and growls. Makes for an interesting sacrament meeting that is for sure. 

We love our Lil' Miss and all the things she does. 

Lydia got a hair cut.  I was kind of fighting giving her one, but the top well....

it was getting too long. It looked like a bad come-over. It was all right on the top of her head so finally after a few comments, which at the time I found annoying. I put her in the bouncer seat, added a twisty and snip! Here are some pictures...

I have to admit. I like it better, but at first I felt like I took her personality away. Then I woke up and saw the big picture. I wanted her hair long, but then realized it would be so much better if it was all the same length. go figure- I know I am weird.

 This was Lydia's 6th month pictures. 

Isn't she just so cute?

The one above is a little bit goofy, but I love it for some reason.

 

I was playing around with the editing program and these are how they turned out.

I love the above one. The last one is another favorite, but I wish she was looking at me.

Well, there you have it. Our Lil' Miss is getting so big! 

Next month we are going to Utah and we can't wait. My sister, Lyndsay and her family are going to come. We haven't seen themr for a year and a half and we can't wait! Lyndsay didn't see me pregnant and still hasn't seen Lydia. It is really hard to be there the same time when you both live out of state.  We have missed them so much and can't wait to see all of them.

YAY for vacations!!!
