Lydia Grace Barron and Molly Joy Barron

This morning in the car on the way to Grammy's house, I was singing the "ABC" song to Lydia. She liked it! (It's not the traditional alphabet song, but rather this sort of rocked-out version that Sesame Street does.) I sing to her in the car a lot - especially if we're in traffic and she's starting to "get all niggily" (as her Omi says). It distracts her and she laughs at me. Anything from "I've got that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart" to "This is the day the Lord has made" and of course we sing our traditional ABC's and the song about Noah and the "arky arky". And sometimes I make up songs. But that's just between me and Lydia - no one else gets to hear those!

Thanks to her Daddy, Lydia has new shelves on her wall! They are so pretty and she loves them. Someone suggested that I post a few pictures of her room, because evidently I never have shown it in its entirely. And everyone loves a baby room, right? The theme is just spring. I wanted her room to be happy and sweet and something she could think was pretty too (unlike something really lacey and un-kid-like. So we have pretty flowers, little birdies and lots of happiness! At this point, none of her toys are really in here. They're all over the rest of the house! Maybe one day there will be a Barbie dream house or a play kitchen in here, but we're not quite there yet!

Well, everyone knows I love fall. I know I should be grateful we have this amazing 70 degree weather in November, but I do wish it was a little cooler and crisper outside for the season. On the other hand, Lydia has been able to spend a lot of time outside, which she loves! We have been to the park more and taken many walks outside together. She's so happy outside, and pretty disappointed when we go back inside!

She has been over her cold and her ear infection for about a week now. Yea!This wekend we had family in from out of town, and we also got to see Lydia's cousin Warner again! I'll post pictures of the festivities soon. Right now it's time to go put Lydia down for "night night". Tomorrow Daddy is working from home and keeping Lydia all day, so wish him luck! He never complains - he's a good Daddy and loves to be home with her when he can be.
