Grandpa Don's Birthday

At the beginning of August, we celebrated Great Grandpa Don's 79th birthday!
Lydia spent some time sitting with Grandpa Don.
Then, Lydia's dad reminisced about playing with some of the toys that Grandma Phyllis got out for Lydia. As always, we had a fabulous time hanging out with the great Stegman grandparents!

Catching some z's with Uncle Z


Aunt Cassie's Birthday!

On July 28, we celebrated Aunt Cassie's birthday by picking her up from work and taking her to lunch. G'mama and our friends Doug and Laura went, too.
This motorcycle was parked in front of the restaurant we ate at, so we decided to get our picture with it. Unfortunately, Lydia sneezed right as G'mama clicked the picture.
Lydia wore the dress that Julia got for her, because we wished Julia had been here to celebrate with us, too!

Later that night, we grilled pork chops for dinner and ate peach cobbler for desert ~ it was deeelicious!


Lydia was looking adorable ~ as always!



We ended the wonderful evening with the High School Musical wildcats dance. We still need some work getting the moves synchronized, but we had tons of fun anyway!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT COOS!

Lydia's Keds

Lydia looks super cute in the Keds that Grandma Lori got for her! They're much better than Dad's old Nike's! :)

First trip to the airport


On July 24, Lydia went to the airport for the first time to pick up Aunt Cassie. She had just gotten back from a trip to England. We're glad she's back, because we missed her terribly!

What Lydie is up to now

Recently, Lydia has been grabbing on to her own fingers. Sometimes I think it looks like she is praying.
I added this photo because I like it. I'm not sure it's the best picture, but when I took it, Lydia was smiling and cooing and moving her arms around excitiedly. Maybe it's the memory of this picture that I love so much.

Sitting at the Big Kid Table

Lydia has been accustomed to sitting in her swing while mom and dad eat dinner. Yet, recently, Lydia has decided she wants to sit at the big kid table. So, we pulled out her high chair, and now Lydia feels better knowing that she is not missing anything.

Even though Lydia is sitting at the big kid table, she's still not old enough to eat big kid food. However, she has been trying the "Elephant Stew" recipe that her mom got from Great Granny! :)
