Lydia is 6 Months

Lydia is 6 months old!  She is the happiest little girl-always smiling, often talking and laughing, and always on the move.  She can get up on her hands and knees and rock, but hasn't quite figured out how to go yet.  She does manage to get around by either pulling herself with her arms, or scooting on her tummy or back.  She's wearing 0-3 and 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers.  She's tried solids a few times, but isn't really interested yet.  She eats 4-5 oz of formula at a time.  Lydia is amazed by the cats, and her brothers can make her smile faster than anyone else!

Lydia's Baptism

Lydia was baptized by Father Tim, who also baptized Elijah, Seth, and Uncle Dom-Lydia's Godfather.

Lydia's Baptismal gown is very special for a couple reasons-it was made from my wedding gown by Grandma Mary (Chris' mom)

3 Weeks Comparison

Usually I think Lydia looks like Seth with a hint of Elijah, but in these pics she totally looks like Elijah.  It will be interesting to see who she looks like as she gets older!  (Order is Elijah, Lydia, Seth)

2 Weeks!

Lydia had her 2 weeks appointment on Tuesday.  She weighed 7lbs 11oz (up from her birth weight of 7lbs 4 oz at birth and 7lbs .2oz when we left the hospital) and was 19.5" long (19" at birth).  At her appointment she got lots of snuggles from Dr. P since she really didn't get to hold Lydia in the hospital.
