Lydia is such a pretty baby! And getting big!

Anna she is sooooo beautiful and getting so big. They certainly change quickly, don't they? I know that you and hubby are taking lots of pictures and I encourage you to keep doing that. One day you turn around and they are all grown!

What a beautiful contented little girl!

I love red heads too!

Oh little angel Lydia you're so pretty and sweet and adorable and it's so nice to see new pictures of you! I can't believe where the time goes, either. They say they grow up too quick, but until you experience it first-hand you just have no idea how fast it happens.

Is she in size 3 diaper yet? Has she cut her first teeth yet? Quinn is in 2-3 pampers (they fit better then the 2 and the 3. I love how Pampers has the "between" sizes), but no teeth yet for Quinn. Lydia looks longer the Quinn. I'm hoping Quinn stays more like me then her daddy. Her daddy is 6'7" and I'm only 5'1", so hopefully she'll be shoter like mommy

Red heads are so adorable, she looks very much like she will end up a red head! Thanks so much for showing off new pictures. It's a pleasure seeing our little friend, Lydia. She's absolutely adorable and precious.

Oh, she's adorable!! And looking so happy.

I love this one especially.

Thoses are some beautiful and precious pictures!!! Lydia really is growing so fast. I don't know where that time goes. I never used to understand when folks said that but when it comes to our babies -we really do experience that passage of time.

I am with Pam - that these pictures are priceless and I can only imagine how much you will enjoy them as she continues to grow. I know I love the pictures of my children and wish we had digital back then so we could have taken tons more

Thank you so much for sharing Lydia with us!! She is such a dainty looking little girl - I think her skin color looks like she may be a redhead for sure.

Thank you for the wonderful comments about my little girl

Leslie, I am actually *ahem* cloth diapering. I never ever ever EVER thought I would do this...but I am. AND, I am LOVE LOVE LOVING it!! I don't think I will switch back. They are *so* soft on her bum-bum and no more rashes (unless I eat tomato sauce ) I have only used one disposable in this past month and that was a size 2 and it still fit oK. I am thinking though I need to buy a small package of 3's 'cause I don't ever want to be "stuck" The key to it is to have a wash routine downpat. without it, I don't think it would work for us. But we wash every-other-night, and dry them the next morning.

As far as teeth go, I thought she had broken a tooth through on the bottom. It was white, hard and pointy. I pointed it to the pediatrician, and he said that it actually was an Epstein Pearl and not a tooth. I had never heard of them before. Sure enough, about a week ago, it fell off and disappeared. So, no, no teeth yet.

We think she is going to be tall like Mark's family. My MIL was 6'1 or 6'2. I'm on the shorter side (5'4"), too...but Lydia's legs are so long so I don't think she is gonna be like me.

Lydia is so precious! She does look like she is long-legged ... what a lucky girl!!! I love the little smiles she has! Isn't it fun when they start really enjoying their toys? You finally know that they are having FUN! Thanks for sharing your precious little girl.

Is it real expensive to get started with cloth? I have been wanting to do cloth but am worried about the initial expense. How many, aproximately, do I need to buy to get started with it? I like Pampers because they have a slight scent and because they're SOOO soft, but they're so expensive and I'd really rather go cloth. I'd love to switch to cloth as much as possible, these disposables are so expensive and since Quinn is breast fed, she poops a bunch, so I go threw so many of them
