Five Things

I had lots of things to write, but it's late and I am tired. I would write tomorrow but we have a really busy day so all you get is this little list and maybe a picture or two.

#1- Lydia has slept in her bed all night (beside her feedings, about three per night) for the last three nights. This is a huge deal. Most other nights she has ended up with me on the couch. Yay for progress.

#2- Great hangout time with lots of friends and family. My mom, my sister Melissa, my friend Ashley, my dad, David's sister Amy, David's parents, my friend Rebekah. It's been a great week.

#3- Lydia has started being more interested in her toys. For the first time she reached out grabbed her toy and brought it to her mouth. Now she can't get enough of it. Oh, and she has a dimple! It's so darling.

#4- My hair is falling out like crazy. This really isn't a good thing... but it's a pretty big deal (in a sad way) to me. I probably need a haircut a-sap... But I will be sad to see these long locks go.

#5- Today we were able to attend a super awesome banquet for David held by the Utah Association of CPAs. He was inaugurated as one of the newest members of the CPA profession. Lydia played with her Grandma Peaden and David and I got to go on a fun date to the Little America. Here are some of the pictures from the day: (I'm so proud of David, he is so amazing!)









David's friend and co-worker who also was inaugurated. They are holding their "Tombstones" which - literally says "Rest in Peace" at the top - symbolizing the putting to rest of the CPA exams. So funny!
 
 
So proud of this boy!

my hair didn't start falling out until Ambria was 4 months. I was super sad because I thought I wasn't going to go through this phase!

Yay Lydia!!! So happy she's sleeping in her bed!!!

I was happy for about two days when my "great post partum shed" began, but now I'm totally ready for it to be done.

Also, you look FABULOUS in the pictures at David's inauguration! Congratulations to David!

Yay for David! And yay for you being able to get out and have a date night. I love your dress and that red necklace. You seriously look so pretty!
