So, at a whopping 4 weeks, I am staring to wonder...who's bigger? Lydia or Maya? My Maya loves milk...it seems to be an every other baby kinda thing in this family. Connor (1st born), Shane (3rd born), and Maya (5th born) are my chubbiest milk loving babies yet!!! I am starting to wonder what that 4 month weight will be for Maya...if she passes 17 pounds 11 ounces, she will officially be the largest 4 month baby I have ever had! As for Aiden and Lydia--well, they chose to be little twigs--we liked that too!!!
Okay, I know the angle makes Maya look gigantic--yes, she's big, but not that big!!! Lydia is just dainty.
Now...I had to make a trip to the hospital to turn in a maternity leave request form...they gave me a mandatory 6 weeks. Not long enough...in my opinion, but since when did a mother's opinion matter to the working world? At any rate, I tried so hard to keep my children close beside me while at the hospital, but once we got to my doctor's office and the boys ran to the computer and started pressing buttons I instantly told them to stand outside of the office in the hallway while I talked to the receptionist. I know...good parenting skills huh?! Then, Miss Lydia decided to throw a tantrum while I was juggling Maya--who decided to let out little screams as soon as I walked through the doors! Liddy threw herself to the floor and refused to stand so I had to one handedly pick her up with Maya in her Maya wrap. I do this a dozen times a day at home, but the shock on every one's faces told me that it wasn't deemed normal in their eyes! I ended up chasing them back to the car!
And chasing them around the parking lot...needed my keys!
Thanks to Connor, the keys were restored to their rightful owner...ME!!!
I put this last pic in to relate a memory and then to show you that even if I were legally blind, Lydia would still be BEAUTIFUL!!! Story: Lydia stepped foot into the elevator, and as it began to move a look of terror swept her face, her little body wobbled to maintain balance, and then she let out a shrill of excitement and laughter--I think Lydia took her first "stand on my own elevator ride" and loved it!

That is so cute! Lydia is just a doll. She and Maya remind me so much of Hannah and Eden--Eden was almost as heavy as Hannah when Hannah pushed her around in the umbrella stroller, at 5 months old. It was so fun. those girls will be inseperable.
Oh my, she does look so cute and chubby! You have such a beautiful family, and I really hope that peaceful times start to come your way. Thinking of yoU!
