Lydia is 5 Months Old!









I figured I had better write a note about Lydie being 5 months old before she was 6 months old!  Time flies!  Lydie turned 5 months old while we were on vacation in the Smokey Mountains- she had so much fun with her Pop-pop & Mom-mom and Rache, Mike, Josh and Jon.  Lydie rolled from her back to her tummy the week before we left for vacation.  She even dressed like a cow to celebrate so we could get some free food at Chick-fil-A.  She is holding objects and putting everything in her mouth these days- I think she may be starting to teeth- we will see.  She has begun sleeping on her side now.  She often will roll to her side or even her stomach with he thumb or finger in her mouth to fall asleep- then when she is in a deep sleep, she will flip on her back with hand stretched above her head.  She has begun to love being in her exersaucer though she is a little floppy in it.  We nicknamed her "Thumper" over vacation as she would wake up in the middle of the night and thump her legs- it drove us nuts. :)  She has begun to scoot on her back too- she presses her one leg against her other and pushes herself across the floor- scooting on her back- a funny sort of move. 
Favorite people- her brother- he can get her to giggle and laugh like no one else can- though I am working with him more this week on being gentle with girls as he thinks of he hits her on her tummy she will giggle- but actually that hurts. :)  She has gotten a little messed up on vacation as she was waking up a few times at night so we are doing boot camp with he this week in the Living Room.  She has begun half way sleeping with her brother in the same room at night.  We put her to sleep in the same room with Jeremiah and he often is found whispering so he does not wake the baby.  Lately, in order to let her cry it out- when we go to bed- I have been moving her to the Living Room so she can scream as loud as she wants and it won't bother us as much.  I have been napping them some together on certain days when I feel they will both sleep pretty well.  I will be watching little Katy again this fall starting in a few weeks- so we are trying to practice them napping together as they will be doing it more often so that Katy can have our bedroom to sleep.
