On The Road Again

     This evening we head out for Texas.  :)  :)  :)   I'm excited.  I saved all the packing for today.  So I'll probably be packing stuff most of the day.  I remember our first trip to Texas with Lydia when she was just two months old.  It seemed like it took me forever to pack her stuff.  Now I can get her stuff together in no time.  It takes me longer to pack my own stuff now.  Deciding on what clothes to bring takes the longest.
     Tomorrow is just going to be a day of hanging out with friends.  And possibly might include a girls night.  I so look forward to the day when I can do this more often.  I NEVER want to move far away from family and friends again!!   
  

Lydia had her first taste of a popsicle the other day.  She is so interested in whatever Kevin and I are eating.  Anytime we are eating something that she's not eating with us, she really wants it.  We give her a lot more table food than we used to.  We have both really relaxed when it comes to that.  I guess it's just part of being a first time parent.  It sometimes takes you a while to realize that there is no need to be so uptight about certain things when it comes to your children.  It will be okay if they eat something "not so good for them".  She has even learned how to feed us.  If we lean our head forward and open our mouth, she will take whatever food is on her tray and put it in our mouth.  It's so cute.  Sometimes the food may already be a bit soggy, but the fact that she gave it to us is so sweet.

 Her reaction to the cold.

And yes, she still loves anything and everything to do with Kevin's guitar.

So cute!!
