What I love about you... 10 months

Lydia - 10 months

I still love your long eyelashes!

I love how tall you're getting! Are you going to be taller than me?
I love to see how you are learning and exploring new things every day! (Here you figured out how to play the cymbals! You were ecstatic!)

I love how you pay such close attention to details! Even if it means you find every teeny-tiny crumb on the floor!

I love to see you explore the bookshelves! You often just pull ALL the books off but it is still book exposure, nonetheless! :-)

I love to tickle you and hear you giggle!

I love all 5 of your little teeth!

I love how much you like music and playing with instruments!

I love that you are not afraid to get dirty! And often would rather just stay that way instead of getting cleaned up!

I love our diaper-changing-game! You vs. me... can I get a clean diaper on before you crawl away laughing! You are pretty good... but you haven't gone away diaperless yet!

And the list goes on and on...

What I love about you... 2.75 yrs

Mr. A - 2.75 years old

That's almost THREE! That just sounds so old!

I love that you are still Momma's little helper!
-unloading the flatware from the dishwasher
-sorting socks
-folding/stacking Miss L's cloth wipes
-putting away toys
-helping to keep your room in order


I love how sweet you are with your sister! and how much you care about her!







I love all the questions you ask! Sometimes it seems like every day you ask twice as many as the day before, but they are very good questions and I know you are learning SO much with all your asking.

I love your growing independence.


I love having tea with you in the morning while Miss L naps. (You get SO excited to have your OWN tea bag! Your current favorite is True Blueberry --that I make into "blueberry chai" by adding some milk and a little raw honey!) I forget what kind you had this day?


I love your love of your daddy! You watch and imitate all he does! House construction, mowing and using the weedwacker, even how he sits sometimes!

Hammering with Pat the Hammer

This was when our new fridge came... you were watching
how he hooked up the water line, and obviously this was the best place to view!

I love all the fun you have with water! We had some major rain last month. One morning we took advantage of the flowing streets and went puddle stompin!

We live on a corner so we have sidewalks on two side... I love seeing your run run run all around them and the yard! You've got some major runners blood -(daddy, aunt and grandpa!) I think your destine to be good at it!

I love that you love the water! Getting water in your eyes doesn't seem to phase you :-)

This is sheer joy of playing in the water -not screaming!

I love your energy and joy!
I love that you still love books and reading!
I love what a great big brother you are!
I love that I get to spend every day with you!

I love seeing you and your brother play together.
I love your hair and how it's starting to get long in the back.

Miss L and grandma (my mom)

I love how happy and smiley you always are.
I love your little collection of baby legs! (organic wool seen here, keepin' her warm on Mother's day)
I love that you now can sit up!
I love that you sleep through the night! (you kind of had been for awhile but still would wake up once or twice a night every once in awhile.)
I love hearing you say da-da!
I love that even when I don't get you in bed on time you are still as happy as ever!
I love that your hair is starting to get a little longer! Not quite long enough for a clip... but maybe soon!

What I love about you... 7 months

Miss. L - 7 months

(I'm a little late getting this out -you've been 7 months for over 2 weeks. These pics are from back then, I've been having camera technical difficulties. These were taken by J.)

You know, what can I say? What's NOT to love about you!

This little guy sure is in love with you!
He likes to tell me often that you are "all cute"
fresh picked, just for you from your big brother!
