Emma and Lydia

On Friday evening, we visited with a friends from Germany who are in town. We had a great time catching up with Dan, Kristi, and their 7 month old, Lydia. We actually met Lydia right after she was born and right before we returned to the US in January. We were so excited to see them and see how much Lydia has grown in the last 7 months!

Emma had a wonderful time playing with Lydia. She shared her toys very well although she didn't quite get that Lydia doesn't play the same way Emma does. When Kurt brought Emma's jumperoo up, he said Emma's face lit up and then got very confused why Lydia got to go in it and she didn't. Luckily, there weren't any tantrums over it! Emma did insist on getting in it a few times....which was hysterical since we had it on the lowest setting and she couldn't jump in it.



The best part of the evening was when we got Lydia to laugh and were tickling her a little bit. Emma joined in and was so proud of herself when Lydia laughed. Emma was surprisingly gentle for a while, but I did take her away when she started to get a little out more rambunctious. I know she wouldn't mean to harm Lydia, but I was worried that she might get carried away and accidentally pinch her.
