Crazy Baby

I have a crazy baby. I'm absolutely not surprised because, well, have you met her dad?

When we put her in the middle of her Santa presents on Christmas, she hopped from foot to foot with her hands behind her back, mumbling some sort of excited gibberish. I was hoping to get lovely photos of her delighting in her new toys, maybe even serenely glancing up at me from time to time with love in her eyes. But she just can't hold still! This is the stillest she was for any one moment on Christmas Day. I'm happy to have at least one picture where her face and body isn't a blur!



On Christmas night, she was incredibly hyper, and spent the better part of an hour marching around the house at top speed. These pictures capture the "essence" of Lydia.





And if you ever meet us in the middle of the day and wonder why my baby is a filthy mess, see Exhibit A.






She can't be stopped!

She has spirit and joy and love all wrapped up in beauty. That last picture looks just like your mother.

i think it's so funny that you attribute lydia's sillyness to ryan...have you met yourself? you are just as silly as the rest of them! i wonder how baby #2 will be...probably calm as a cucumber :)
