Silly Kid

Lydia may call you a "silly kid," but she's the real silly kid. Just see for yourself:

She's making funny faces and blowing bubbles in her drinks. If you ask her what she's doing she'll say, "making bubble sounds," as if it were as innocent an activity as eating a sandwich. At the same time, Abigail is making funny vibrating sounds with her mouth. Those two are quite the pair. Lydia has actually been helpful with feeding Abigail baby cereal. Lydia is careful with the spoon, but sometimes her efforts are thwarted when Abigail grabs the spoon for herself. 

We've been staying with Grandma Linda so there are new kids all around. As soon as Lydia spots one or two or ten, she is overcome with a force that makes her go over to say hello and see what they're doing. We found out, as Lydia swung her arms back and forth with a shy smile on her face, that the boy across the street is named Daniel and is 22 months old. The girls playing with bubbles two blocks away are named Sophia, Adrianna, and Kaitlyn.
The highlight of our weekend was going to the beach Saturday morning and jumping over the waves, Lydia on Daddy's shoulders, having a silly good time. Or, Ben might say it was enjoying a strawberry shave ice at Brat Days with Lydia.
