Another funny milestone in Lydia's life


The other day I got Lydia up to feed her and she started to do the funniest thing. She took her hand and rested it on my chest and then stood her hand up on her thumb and then wiggled her thumb back and forth discovering that she had a joint in her thumb that was fun to play with. She must have played with her thumb for at least 10 minutes and she smiled up at me as if to say "Mom look what I can do!!!" Then on that very same day, I decided to wash her bedding as she is teething so she is drooling a lot. So I replaced her swaddle blanket and her blanket that I put over her. Well for that whole day she just didn't want to sleep and she would cry so her afternoon nap I put the blanket back on her bed that she had normally been using and discovered that she slept fine. So through some changing out her bedding I discovered that Lydia has developed a security blanket with this certain blanket. It was interesting to say the least. We have started her on baby foods now and so far she has done cereal, apple sauce, peas, prunes, and green beans. What a fun time in our lives. Last night someone in our small group mentioned that she was fearfully and wonderfully made. The more time I spend with Lydia the more I see that truth come alive in her, especially since she is developing her own little personality. SO we will see what today holds for her.
