A little red lace.

Dear Lydia,

So i wanted to take some professional christmas pictures of you but i thought... you didn't do very much but lay there. so i just took them myself. I went for a vintage glamor thing. Here is a couple, hope you like them. :)

 Daddy thinks you're cute!
(and he actually typed that)

Month 1 - The First Christmas.

Dear Lydia, 

You are the best christmas present i have ever received. I don't even remember what else i got.

and you spit up on Santa.

I thought this position of sleep was quite cute. 

You just relaxed and snuggled beneath the pine.

Daddy even tried to sing you a Christmas song.

(it's supposed to be Silent Night)

The best part is i think that was your first "on purpose" smile. 

little bits of Lydia.

Dear Lydia,
I saw this on piterest and coppied it Lydia style.
Love Mom.

your so prescious.

Month 0 - Sleeping beauty.

Dear Lydia, 

You slept a lot, a lot, the first month. basically all i could take were these pictures. 

California First.

Dear Lydia, 

We took you on a road trip to meet your only cousins when you were just three weeks old. You were a good little traveler. You didn't really notice you were at the beach but your gonna love it someday. 

Love Mom

Pretty sure there is a pic of Zach holding you too. I intend to add it someday. :) 

Preem.

Dear Lydia,
The one little Premie outfit you wore a lot. Because of your Jaundice we had a hard time getting you to grow there for a minute. I had to take you in every couple of days to get weighed. 

Oh goodness i could not calm that hair down.
Love Mom.

Teach them to Pray.

My sweet, sweet girl. You were doing this all by yourself and i had to run and grab my cell to capture it. 

Thanks.

Dear Lydia, 

Thanksgiving is kind of a thing in our family. a thing that we like. You see Grandpa Bozarth passed away 2 days before thanksgiving and his funeral was the day after. For a couple years i was not its biggest fan. and then there was the year Daddy and i started dateing. I invited him to thanksgiving with me family, we were not even official yet but he missed his families party so i thought he should come to mine. Thats when it hit him. amidst our crazy family he somehow decided he wanted to marry me. He didn't tell me until latter of course, that would have been weird. ;) Now i love Thanksgiving. Here is a picture of you at your first one. about 12 days old. ish. 

Love Mom

Newborn Photo Session.

You were having a sassy day... you were just hungry.

Dear Lydia,

Love Mom
