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!

Sleeping angels...

Lily Turns Two Weeks Old

We love this picture of Lily. She's so alert and her outfit is adorable. I dressed her up to go to a graduation party last night. Anson's boss's son graduated from Lake yesterday so we stopped by their house. The outfit is from Aunt Jill - thanks again and the little shoes are from Mandy - thanks again too! I love dressing her up!

She hates getting in her car seat but when we give her a pacifier, she calms down. I love these pics because her hands are up by her face.


She's been going through a growth spurt the last couple of days. The good news is that I think we have the breastfeeding thing nailed down, the bad news is that she wants to eat every hour or two. It's hard to get any sleep that way, but Anson has been a huge help. Luckily, she can go in between the breast and a bottle, so he can take care of her while I sleep.

Tomorrow we go back to the pediatrician to recheck her weight. I'm sure she is back up to her birth weight with the way she's been eating!

Couple things I love about her (among the many): She smiles and laughs in her sleep - that way I know she's having sweet dreams. She throws her arms in the air when she's startled - total drama queen. She's a great baby. Only cries when she wants fed or held. Simple needs that I can most definitely fulfill =)

A Walk in the Park

Last week, Anson and I loaded the Lily Bug and Sampson into the car and drove down the street to Firestone Park. We walked all the way around the park. Sampson was exhausted after, as you can see from the photo. Lily slept through it all. I love the stroller! Thanks again Grandma & Grandpa C.
