Life with Lydia

Today Lydia insisted on eating lunch hugging Zeke and Charlie. Because of that, the menu changed. She ate only non-sticky, dry stuff.

Lydia is starting to play some new games.

She turned her stool upside down and sat in it yesterday. She had fun with it.

And this morning I found her playing with her mouse stuffed animal and the ark panda. The animals were facing each other, and the mouse was talking to the panda. She had them interacting. That seems like quite an advanced concept for a 15 month old. Wonder if it is?

We went to McKoy pool today for the first time. Lydia absolutely LOVED it! She liked it so much that she’d squeal while playing. It’s a great pool, esp for toddlers. It has a beach-style entry and fountains. The fountains were her favorite part. She also played with a little boy pouring water in and out of cups. Lydia had so much fun I know we’ll be back soon. Here she is after pool time eating lunch.

Doesn’t every girl eventually wear Daddy’s shoes? She put them on all by herself. Cutie.

Last weekend we went to the Peachtree DeKald Airport airshow. Aunt Sylvia was here visiting so she and Diego also went. We saw all kinds of neat propeller plane tricks. We also played in their playground. Lydia enjoyed it, and so did we. I’m sure we’ll go again next year.

We went to Mellow Mushroom again tonight for dinner. Lydia was a superstar, as usual. She was very well behaved, ate well, and enjoyed it. Their patio is becoming our new hangout.

We had a wonderful memorial day weekend. Paul took an extra day off, so we had 4 days. It was super fun and relaxing. On Saturday, we had a bbq party with a few of our friends to estrenar Paul’s new bbq grill. It was perfect weather and we had tons of fun.

It’s now officially summer. It’s also getting warmer, so we bought Lydia a pool so that afternoon  outdoor activities can be fun without being dreadfully hot. As expected, she loves the pool. More than loving the pool, really, she loves the hose, well, drinking from it. Usually when she plays in the pool it’s more like she’s in and out, in and out, in and out. She also loves to play with her outdoor kitchen in conjunction with the water activities. She made wood chip stew in her sink the other day. Fun.

Lydia seems to be more and more active each day. She loves it when we chase her. Watch a video of her crazy cuteness

Lydia has tons of fun playing with Daddy. This weekend she decided the beer box would be a great recreational vehicle, especially when Daddy powered it. Watch the video of Lydia and Daddy.
