This and that

Lydia has a new favorite thing around here: sensory "table".  I requisitioned this bin and filled it with some rice a couple of months ago.  It kinda disappeared while we were doing our whole living room renovation thing, but now it's back and Lydia LOVES it! She will stand there and play for at least 10 minutes--which is a miracle, because this girl is BUSY.  (She looks so old in this picture--I can't believe I no longer have a "baby".)


And of course, any time I am cooking ANYTHING, Lydia HAS to be up on the counter "helping" me.  If I don't automatically invite her, she grabs on to my apron and says, "cookies? cookies? pwees?  pwees?"  She thinks anytime the mixer is going, it must be cookies.  Actually, this time it was pumpkin brownies, but she absolutely HAD to help.


That girl is growing so fast ... *sigh*.  I cannot believe how many words she knows.  She will point out everything in a book, and most of the time she knows what they all are.  She knows several phrases that I can understand, but she still says complete sentences that I don't understand any part of.  We're also working on manners, which is really fun.  I just love being a mom and watching her learn and grow!
