Photo Fun!

I decided the other day that it would be fun to take some newborn pictures. I got a bunch of ideas on Pinterest of different poses to can try! :) Here are a few pink ones I did with a cute dark pink blanket that my student Hannah gave to Lydia, (the other side has flamingos on it!) a little light pink blanket my Mom gave Lydia, and a butterfly Great-grandma Robison gave to Lydia that we've attached to her crib. 

I've also been learning how to use GIMP, the free photo editing program. It's been a lot of fun watching youtube videos to learn how to use it. I'm still very much a beginner, but I'm enjoying it a lot!





Here is a BEAUTIFUL quilt my Mom made for Lydia! It is called Tropical Sunset! Lydia loves it already.



Here is an idea I saw on Pinterest! I kind of cut out the tape measure on this one, but I LOVE how it turned out! :D She was born at 4:05am as shown on the clock, weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces on May 20th (hard to see) and technically was a little over 20 inches long at birth, so we rounded up. :)





 So after all of my picture taking fun, Mitch wanted to do some too and we decided to do computer programming ones! :D Lydia is surrounded by programming textbooks, computer hard drives, a calculator, computer, and her name, written in the C++ computer programming code! :) Mitch says one of the first things he will teach her is programming. So he will teach her programming languages and I will teach her Portuguese. :) The pictures turned out so cute!

    Haha. These are so funny and super cute. She has so much personality already! (I've only ever seen her strapped in a car seat asleep.) I love seeing her bright eyes and all her cuteness in these photos!

    So true!!! We're hoping that despite the fact that both of us have brown eyes that hers will stay blue! Probably not though, but you never know what genetic surprises you'll have, like a cute little red-haired girl from two brown-haired parents! :)

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

It's so exciting the closer it gets to Christmas, there are so many "firsts" for Lydia. This was her first time playing in the snow! Ahhh, the taste of freshly-fallen snow! It was Lydia's first time seeing Christmas lights when Mitch put them up on our deck. She loves looking at them! :) We found a little Christmas elf in our box as we put up our tree!  Lydia loves the texture of the branches and all the sparkling ornaments! Also, when she gets excited, she flaps her arms and legs around so fast, it's hard to keep holding her! She is one happy baby! She helped hang ornaments on the tree, including her baby ornament we used last year to announce our pregnancy. We love hanging our favorite ornaments each year--Mitch's Karl Malone and my glass flamingo! Merry almost Christmas from the Steeds! Lydia had a great first Thanksgiving, but she sadly couldn't eat any turkey. Still no teeth yet!  ...

Happy Fall! Back to Blogging. :)

September 27, 2019 Happy Fall!!!  I just decorated our front porch for the season. :) I seriously haven't posted for about 2 years! I want to get back to blogging, mostly because I want a picture journal to print off in addition to my personal journal I keep already. :) We have a big chalkboard I wrote on and brought out some fun fall decorations I've made through the years and bought a new pumpkin sign for our front door. We planted 4 pumpkin plants in our back yard and have 9 orange pumpkins in the back yard ready for us to carve and put out as decorations soon. :) I love this season and I love decorating! So I'm going to write this post going back in time, so I'll finish with our summer vacation we went on this year to Utah to visit family and friends. :) Last week was my 31st birthday and Mitchy and the girls made me an upside down pineapple cake! It was so delicious! Mitchy got me a framed picture of the two of us from this past...

What?!! Three months already?!!! & Lydia's first selfie :)

Image
I can't believe the last time I posted was Lydia's two-month birthday post, and now a whole month has passed!!! Crazy!!! She is growing so fast and getting more and more personality every day. Take yesterday, for example. While I brushed my teeth, Mitch sang to Lydia in her bassinet while spinning her little mobile of jungle creatures. Just as she was nodding off, he stopped singing and spinning. Lydia suddenly opened her eyes wide, stared right at Mitch and started kicking her feet, signifying her demand that the music and spinnage continue! :) Even in her swing, she will get herself into whatever position necessary in order to watch the little bears swing. Below is a picture I took of her the other day but Mitch pointed out that it totally looks like she is taking a selfie! :) So cute! We can't tell if her eyes are going to stay blue or turn brown, they look lighter some days and darker other days. We'll see! She's also wearing our favorite outfit, thanks K...
