Lydia is 12 months old

Lydia is one! At her appointment, she weighed in at 29 lbs! What?!?! Where did my little baby who was losing weight go?

Daily Schedule:

Wakes up around 8-9ish. She sleeps in.

Takes one to two naps a day. Mostly two but if it's the weekend and she sleeps in, we only fit one nap in.

Her naps are about 1.5 hours in length. Every now and then, it is longer (or shorter).

Bedtime is around 8:30/9pm. After the big kids go to bed. Since her bad cold/infection over Christmas, Lydia has slept through the night every night. Sleep is wonderful!

Likes: Me, walks in the stroller, playing rough and tumble with Tanner, swinging in the hammock, carrots, broccoli, loading the dishwasher, baths, walking a bunch.

Dislikes: Anyone except me.

After Ashton and Gemma, I said no baby could possibly be more sensitive or clingy. And then I had Lydia. She barely tolerates Joseph. She cries and screams if a stranger or another adult even thinks about looking at her. This makes school pick up at the door really fun.

Words: Lydia can say Mamama and Dadada. She also says ba-ba for bath, which is cute. As soon as she hears, "bath," she goes right up the stairs to the bathtub. And all along the way, she is repeating "ba, ba, ba." I think it's pretty clear she knows the understanding of the word as well as the accurate use of it.

Tanner and Lydia continue to have a wonderful relationship.
