Fun with Water







Lydia loves her water table that Grammy and Papa bought her for her birthday. She loves splashing, no holds bar style. There are little sail boats that came with it, and Grammy added little rubber duckies. Lydia throws them out and then goes to retrieve them. It's so cute! Mommy and Daddy went on the Providence Marriage Retreat at Fort Caswell this past weekend, and Grammy and Papa got the privilege of babysitting Lydia all weekend. After a whole weekend playing in it, the water table is now her favorite activity-especially if Grammy puts her in a little swimmer and lets her go at it!

Lydia's 1st birthday

Lydia is one!!! She turned one year old on April 30. Below are two pictures on her special day.We had a birthday party for her on the May 3. It was a simple, family party. Lydia hit the jackpot with the presents she got! Mommy and daddy got her 1st bible, Jesus Storybook Bible, and she got two other bibles as well! She received several books, some crayons and big coloring book (probably will use that a little later!), a teaching teddy bear, her first babydoll, Little peoples' Noah's Arc, a grocery cart, and a water table!!! (see the other post for pics of that!)
Here's Lydia helping Daddy open presents. She surprised us all with how well she did tearing at the paper!She wasn't very happy in her birthday hat!Mommy spent so much time on her birthday cake, but loved every minute! Mommy is just so glad it came out so well!
Here's Lydia after devouring her cake-there weren't any good pics of her eating her cake! We found out that Lydia loves ice cream-just like her mommy!!!

I just can't believe that my little girl is one year old! The past year has flown by! This time next year, we'll have another one in tow!
