Lydia has a new cousin...and I no longer have a baby, but a little girl.

    Last Friday, the 8th, my sister gave birth to her first child.  I'm so glad I got to be there.  London is the prettiest newborn I have ever seen.  Lydia loved to look at her, poke her, find her nose, ears, eyes and head.  London was her very own live baby doll.  Lydia's dream come true!  Mother and baby are doing just fine and I can't wait to see little London again.  They live in Houston so I can't just pop over and visit when I want.  Lydia and London are exactly 23 months apart.  I can see them having some good times in the future.

     Everyday Lydia turns more and more into a little girl.  She will be two in less than three weeks!  Just this week she went from only being able to say "A, B, C, D" to almost the entire alphabet.  Today I tried to sing along with her and she said "mommy no no".  I got the hint and stopped singing.  She has also learned to catch this week.  Kevin and I taught her how to catch and she LOVES it.  She will catch her ball about 90% of the time.  Must take after Mommy.  :)  She enjoys sitting on her potty, even though she doesn't always go in it.  She wears pull ups now instead of regular diapers.  She can sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.  And pretty much speaks in sentences now.  What happened to my baby!!!???
