June 27 was 4 months home with Lydia Mei.....

.....and what an incredible 4 months it has been. Lydia Mei has blossomed into the sweetest little girl. It is sort of sad that she has lost the "baby look" she had when she first came home. She looks like a little girl. She is getting heavy! Her thighs are no longer little sticks. She is giving hugs, putting her head on our shoulders, kissing when we ask for a kiss, lifting up her arms so that we can pick her up. She continues to scoot in her crazy fashion, but is trying to get her legs into a crawling position. Today she woke up from her nap all disoriented.....she had turned herself completely around in bed for the first time. She is going to physical therapy and HATES it. But after 3 weeks, we can see slow but steady progress. She does not need occupational therapy as she is age appropriate in most things with her fine motor skills. Words: she says "Mamma", "uh-oh" when she drops something, "baba" for blankie, baby, and book, "ta-da" with her arm extended, and "Dacob" for Jacob (very proud older brother who taught her this!).

She still likes her bottle (especially with Vit. D milk!...hence, the chubby legs!), she is very picky about which table food she will eat (she prefers the consistency of baby cereal and fruits/veggies), she is up with Mom or Dad at least twice every night (ugh!!) (YAWN!!!), and she loves all the attention she gets from her siblings.

If only my computer was functioning, I would post some pictures. Maybe next week! Meanwhile, this is our little update from our home.
