Lydia has the smallest walking feet
in all of America. 

Now that she is definitely a mover and a shaker and because leather robeez are a little warm for the weather we’ve been having lately, we headed out to a kids speciality shoe store today to find some little walking shoes. That’s when I found out that there are not walking shoes made in Lydia’s size. Her feet are that small. I managed to find a cute pair of Pedipeds that will work for us though I’m not thrilled with the sole of them which is still pretty soft and slippery (I know that soft and flexible is good and all, but what if she steps on a rock or something? And, with our hardwood floors, the girl is slipping around everywhere if she’s got anything on those bare piggies.). I couldn’t believe we had to buy the 0-6 mo. size. I mean, really, Lydia, you are petite! She is 14 months old in 3 days! And, I couldn’t believe how much the teeniest shoes you can buy cost. Geez. Perhaps I should have bought more obnoxious little squeaky shoes in China! Apparently, they do make (and sell) small walking shoes there! The pricey Pedipeds are pretty cute though. They are deserving of their own picture on the blog.

Introducing, Lydia’s 0-6 mo. sized walking/crib shoe…

When we were in Xi’an, on the day we visited Lydia’s orphanage, we got to see her take her first steps. In fact, we were skyping with my sister Erin and her husband Brian at the time. So, they got to see them too!



Since then, she’s gotten pretty darn sure of herself on her feet. She is walking everywhere now. And, of course, everybody thinks she is a genius baby since she looks a lot younger than she is. I took this video on Sunday–Note: it was 90 degrees for some strange reason. I don’t typically let my children roam around in only a diaper. But, that day called for it.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
