Darling

Lydia was the cutest little girl in church today, while she was in church. We might try to keep her with us in the beginning, but when she thinks it's fun to coo and the sermon is approaching, we send her off. The nursery is pretty good with her, they just haven't figured out yet that the flaps on the diaper get pulled out.

She's a sweetie!

Sometimes a doll face.

But always a cutie!

Baby Caricature

We went to the Junction City boardwalk and Lydia got caricaturized:

I Found My Feet!

and I can't

stop playing

with them!

Mini Golf

On Saturday night we went mini golfing. We were going to go after we wrapped up our unsuccessful garage sale [just one side note about that: if you host a neighborhood garage sale, at least put an advertisement in the local newspaper! I assumed people knew that.], but by then the sun was fierce, and the golf course not-so-shady. So we delayed our event till 7pm when it was still hot, but much more enjoyable.

Lydia looks like a pro! She got the pink ball, of course.

By the eighth hole Lydia didn't want to be in the golf cart--I mean stroller anymore, so Ben played the rest of the course one-handed. If we would have given him a handicap, I guess we would have tied scores.
I got to push the stroller along. Do mini golf courses not have to comply with wheelchair accessibility rules??

Here we all are.

We were in front of their signature castle hole. It was almost like being at Disney World's Cinderella Castle! OK, not even close, but a fun activity nonetheless.

Character

Lydia is becoming such a character. First, sticking her tongue out at me, and now this. I put her in her carrier, went to get my keys and when I returned she was gnawing on her link with this most mischievous look. I just had to take a picture.

Floor Time :P

Solids?

We got the go-ahead to try foods.

I was excited, but this is what Lydia thought:

"Uh oh, what do you think you're doing with that spoon. Don't feed me, don't feed me!"

" Aw, Mama, did you have to?"

In the end I think she swallowed a little oatmeal, but that's a hard thing to tell. I'd say this was a fine start to a lifetime of dining adventures.
