First Smiles!!

I can't believe I caught this on Camera, but I did! Here are Lily's first smiles. She smiles a lot while she's falling asleep or asleep but this smiles are when she's wide awake! Also, here are two videos. On the first one I got a little smile, and on the second I caught her sneezing. The videos are a little dark so look closely. Enjoy!

New Addition to the Nursery

We painted cut-out letters of Lily's name and hung them on her wall. We included two ladybugs because we like to call her Lily Bug =)

Cooing & A Video

I forgot to mention that Miss Lily started cooing recently. It's really precious. It's like she's trying so hard to tell me something. I tried to get her on video doing it but she just had the hiccups. Here is the video of Lily and her daily hiccups.

First Sleep Over

Lily had her first sleep over last night. My mom offered to watch her over night and I took her up on her offer! I got 9 hours of sleep last night! That's the most I've gotten since before she was born. It was a much needed break. Anson and I took Sampson to the park, went and got ice cream, gave each other massages and watched TV together. We had a great night! But, I missed her like crazy!!!

My mom and Lily had a great time too! Poor Grandma only got about a half hour of sleep...welcome to my world!

Little Tigger! The outfit Lily wore to go visit all my work friends today at GOJO. Thank you Jen W. for the adorable outfit...we love it! We had a great time visiting with everyone! I'll be back there before I know it.

Father's Day

Anson's first Father's Day! When I woke up on Sunday morning, this is how I found Anson...the baby to his right, the computer to his left and he was playing video games!!! It was a hilarious sight to me. (Notice the spit up spot on Anson's shirt! Lily gave him a nice Father's Day gift.)

Unfortunately Anson had to go out of town on Father's Day, so I spent the day at my parents' house. We had steak dinner...very yummy!

Grandma V and Lily
Sleeping Angel...my mom and I were trying to get her to smile. She only smiles in her sleep so it's hard to catch on camera.

Happy One Month Birthday, Lily

Our little Lily Pad is a month old today!

I can't find the camera transfer cord. It's really bumming me out, but I'm sure it's around here somewhere. I'll post her photo later, but for now here's a quick update.

I took Lily to the doctor today for her one month well baby check-up. She's very healthy and weighed in at 9 pounds, 5 ounces. I was surprised she had gained so much! The nurse was very pleased. My little baby girl is already growing up!

She's in the 60% percentile for her weight, 50% for her height (21 inches) and 70% for the size of her head. This means that out of 100 babies who are all exactly one month old, Lily would weigh more than 60 of them. She's a healthy, growing girl!

The nurse and I discussed getting her on a schedule by only allowing her to eat every 3 hours in the day. She tends to be a snacker so I think this should help us get into a routine. Sometimes she'll want to eat about every hour or two. Hopefully this will help her sleep better and longer at night. She ate last at 1 today, so she's about ready to eat again at 4, so I need to go get her bottle ready.



I forgot to take her photo on the 19th darnit! But, I don't think she changed very much in one day =)

Sneak Peek at Our Photos of Lily

Here are a few of the photos that our photographer took on Saturday. I look at these and can't believe it's our baby! She's so beautiful! I can't wait to see the rest of them. They should be ready to view and order in about 2 weeks. Here's a link to Melissa's blog: http://melissareynoldsphotography.blogspot.com/.

Look how red her hair looks! These were taken outside on our porch in the natural light =)

Lily is 4 Weeks Old Already!

...and a little pouty!

My little calla lily!

Today we had a photographer come to the house to take pictures of Lily. She's going to post them online for us to view. Her name is Melissa and she's trying to build up her portfolio, so we're getting a great deal on the photos. I'll post the link for everyone to see once we receive it.

For now, I took some pics of my own today. I cannot believe Lily Anna is 4 weeks old! I love her soooo much!

I placed her on her back and she rolled over on her tummy all on her own =) She's really getting stronger!

Chris Comes to Visit...AJ too!

Jill changes Lily's diaper. The next one was very poopy and Megan got to change that one!

AJ, Chris's stepson. He's such a cutie!

Ut-Oh, looks like Bones will be a father soon too! (Megan isn't pregnant...they just look like natural parents!)
Megan and Lily taking a cat nap!

Volleyball at Jill's

Lily was all ready to play with her little shoes and shorts, but no one picked her to be on their team =( Probably because she was too sleepy.

So, we watched Daddy play.

Silly Danny!

Lily's 3 Week Birthday

Lily is wearing a precious dress from her second Grandma Diane (Jill's Mom)...thanks Diane!

This is how Daddy puts Lily down for a nap...haha. She's such a little peanut on that big couch!

Lily Meets Her First Boyfriend

Jen & Ken brought their little man, Zachary over to our house last night. Jen & I joke that we are going to arrange their marriage someday =)

It's so great to have good friends going through all the joys of first-time parenthood with us!
