Picture onslaught

We think she's cute. Here's more of what we've been up.

 She can pull herself up on ANYTHING!

 Trail running with Mom. Running like a big girl. And miracles of miracles, she left her had on!

 The Fells Point Boat Parade! Always fun! Dad was working at Start-Up Weekend, but lucky for us, the parade went right past where he was working and he could come out and see the boats with us. 

 She LOVES to look at the baby in mirror. Whenever she wakes up (whether it be a nap, or morning) she wants to look in the mirror first. 

 She's starting to eat real food! Here is gumming some homemade bread. (It really just gets compressed into mushy bread, I don't think there's much eating going on.)

 Oh, mom. You think this is a toy for me to lay under. I will climb up it. :)

 Super cool woodwork in the park where we run. 

 First lesson in children at commercialism. Lydia was SUPER tired as we were running errands. We were at our final stop (and reason for going out) IKEA. She normally sleeps with a stuffed animal, so I gave her a puppet. She wanted nothing to do with the animal itself. Only the tags. She loves ALL tags. 

But when we got to checkout, my plan was to leave the puppet behind. But she SCREAMED. So we bought the puppet. 

Lydia 1. Mom 0.

 She has three styles of crawling. The army crawl, your regular crawl, and the downward dog crawl. She is very versatile. 

 "I am Queen of this house!"

 What happens when mom goes to work.

 Teething biscuits. Always yummy and will keep her entertained for a WHILE. But not so clean. 

 Last ride in the swing. The Christmas Tree needed a place, and it was time for the swing to go into storage. The swing has been one of our most used baby tools. 

 More from the boat parade. 

 "Why yes mom, I will play with this puppet. Thank you very much!"

My little Christmas helper.
