Dear Lydia,: Valentines

Dear Lydia,

Your my little Rapunzel, why is your hair growing so fast? I guess that's my genes fault. It's totally cute I just wish you would let me do it. Stop pulling out those tiny rubber bands - that has to hurt. And it makes it seem like your getting bigger faster. Which isn't really true - your tiny. Your a West and can't gain any weight. Goodness. You have always been about 3 months behind in the baby clothes size and now that you are walking - at 15 months your 12M clothes are huge. and your little flat bum has yet to fill a pair of jeans other then jeggings. Oh and dresses - you still wear 6-12M but I have to put pants on you because your so tall. Look at that. You just got the best of us didn't you. You don't seem to have any of mommies problem areas even though daddy insists you have mommy legs (which look just like baby legs ;) . Your so pretty. Sometimes I just sit and stare at you because I just think your beautiful. Although an out side perspective is rather hard for me, I really don't think it's just because I am your Mommy. Just a toddler and you are already my favorite person ever. While we are still having somewhat of a communication issue (because you cant talk) I can tell you are a really good little person. Your funny and so loving.

Well it was my birthday and i got spoiled. Daddy bought me a sewing machine so I can potentially be an even better mommy. and he bought me thread and fabric to make pillows. and of course Nana helped us get a new washer and dryer and G-West gave me a shopping trip to Home depot. What? yeah I bought tools. A sander and paint - to turn some antique doors into a fancy bed for us.

I felt loved. And you got a cute stuffed puppy, and a little candy.

Celebrate Love. (oh and your mommy)
