Lydia ~ 28 Months

Our little girl is 28 months old now! It is so amazing to watch how much she can learn and how quickly she truly does grow - almost before our eyes each day! Lydia had a rough few days this month with Croup, which turned into Bronchitis, but we are so very thankful that the Lord healed her little body and she did not have to be hospitalized for treatment. She was one sick little girl for several days, though. As with most children, that was very short lived and she is now back to her silly, fun-loving little self, and we are happy about that!

As you can see in the last post, Lydia also got to enjoy playing in the snow this month and she thoroughly enjoyed that! She also continues to enjoy reciting her numbers, letters, and likes to point out shapes, colors and letters that she recognizes. We are thankful that she enjoys learning and try to work with her every day. She is also completely enthralled with "Veggie Tales" right now and we know most of the songs by heart, and enjoy listening to Lydia try to quote bits from the movies at random times!

We were also thankful to celebrate Valentine's Day with our little sweetheart this month! When she discovered that her Sunday School teacher had a party planned for her class, she announced that they were having a birthday party for Valentine's Day! ha ha! :)

Valentine's Day ~ 2010
being silly with Daddy one morning...

taking the "say cheese" thing very literally these days... :)

Valentine's Day and Snow 2010

Our church on Saturday, February 13
the snow was just starting to fall and she was already loving it!

Daddy was "throwing" snow to her... :)

Our other daughter enjoying the snow...

Yep - she's eating it!

Happy Valentine's Day 2010!!

Well, after hopeful forecasts and several incidents of mostly frozen precipitation, we finally got some snow! Lydia LOVED playing outside in the snow, and even gave it a taste test (yuck!) Hopefully, she enjoyed the snow cream better and will just wait for that next time! :) This had to be the perfect snow storm for almost everyone, because by Sunday afternoon, you would have had a difficult time proving that we ever had inches of snow on the ground! This weekend, we also celebrated Valentine's Day! Mel surprised me with flowers at school (sold by the seniors for thier upcoming trip), but we are hoping to celebrate a little more next week when we go to the beach for a short family get-away!
