New Brother

Dear Lydia, 

I can't believe I have two babies. I know: thats what I get. I did it on purpose. I really hope there is a strong bond between you two. I hope that you help make him a gentleman and that he protects you. I hope you hang out with the same group of friends and tell each other your secrets. He will keep your drama in check. You'll keep his in check. It will be great. You will both know the blessing of having a family member that is a best friend. 

Our first night home from the hospital. The first time we were a family of 4. 

The first time you took a bath together. 

The first time you kind of held him.

 

You thought he was hilarious. 

 

Meeting Your little Brother

Dear Lydia,
Your little brother was born. You got to hang out with aunt Kaley all day but she brought you to the hospital so you could meet him. We video'd it. There was some crying. Here it is.

But you weren't crying for long. You kiss him now and give him loves. You also poke and pinch him but that could be affection since you do it to me and daddy too. :)

19 Months: Daddy's Girl

Dear Lydia, 

Those pretty pictures we took were also this month but besides this nothing much happened. 

It was Fathers Day and I publicly thanked Daddy by posting this on Facebook.

Then Daddy got kidney stones. 

 And you and I waited for hours with him. 

 

Literally hours. And you sat like an amazing little toddler does in your chair while I fed you the gram crackers the nurse kept bringing you. 

And you really like to pick up and carry around your Great Grandpa Lofgreen's scriptures all day.

Mommy and Me and the baby to be.

 Dear Lydia, 

Mommy won a giveaway for some pictures of our pretty faces because Daddy didn't want to play. Graycen was there but he was hiding in my big belly. This was about a month before he came out. We played with the tea set aunt Kaley gave you and red our big Jane Austen book. Your favorite part was the river you almost got washed away in. ;) I love them. 

Love you, 

Mommy
