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.
