San Diego Fun!

Last month I went to San Diego to visit with some of my siblings.  My brother and his wife live there and actually he just graduated from Law school yesterday.  I was going to go down then but it worked better for me to make a visit last month.  I also got to see my sister Kalli before she left for China.  Both my sisters were going to visit so I decided to as well.  It was a lot of fun!!!  It was a nice getaway with just Lydia and I.  I am grateful David took care of the other kids, well with the help of his parents.  His dad and him took them camping/fishing for most of the weekend and then his mom watched them when he had to work Monday.  I love San Diego!  I also love my family and was happy to see most of them!  Thanks to Kalli here are some pictures of the little vacation!

Funny awkward moment where Kalli asked if she could take a picture with this guy and his wife got out of the truck and was like he is taken, so Kalli said she wasn't trying to hit on him just wanted a picture of him in uniform.  The wife was not too happy.  Kalli still got a picture but didn't touch him at all, haha. 
The fire breathing man we saw while shopping.  He was crazy and drank lighter fluid.  His voice was so messed up and I am sure he won't live long.

Wanted a cute picture with Lydia in a hat, but it was hard to get her to leave it on.

Lydia 10 months

Lydia is now 10 months and is getting into things.  She loves her mom and is very clingy to me. She has started being scared of others and cries when I leave even when I leave her with David.  I still nurse her a few times a day and she is doing better with eating solids.  She now waves and gives high fives.  She has stood a few seconds without holding on to something, but no steps yet.   I would prefer her to walk now since she is already into things and she her knees are starting to look like they hurt from crawling around so much.  She is also sleeping better in her crib and has slept through the night a few times now.  We are hoping this continues.  It seems though as if she does good but then we go out of town and she gets off schedule.  I have been out of town with her 3 out of 4 of the last weekends.  And we might go out of town again this weekend.  I will post on our trips soon.  Just wanted a quick little update on Lydia.
