Lots of Pictures

Her first Sunday outfit was from my friend Megan.  It was a newborn outfit and unfortunately only fit her for about a week.  But it was perfect!

My dad came to help me out the week after Lilly was born.  He was a great help and allowed me many much-needed naps.  I love how she has his shirt in her grasp!

One of the first nights Pret cuddled with her before bedtime.  I love this picture.  She still looks so tiny!

Our friends, the Hoffmans, have a boy, Finn, who was born in January.  They live around the corner and Finn and Lilly will be fast friends....

One day when I was changing laundry I realized that I needed two hands to get the load into the dryer.  Luckily I had just pulled towels out so there was a nice momentary resting spot.

Tuckered out.  'Nuff said...

I just love this picture.  She will still turn her head like that when she sleeps sometimes.

This is one of the first times I attempted to dress her up and even do her hair...

She was almost smiling.  I love this outfit of hers.  I call it the "purple elephants" even though most of the elephants are not purple.  I will be sad when this one does not fit anymore.

So I am going to try to do a month-by-month with Lilly and this bear.  I didn't get newborn, but this was month 1.

The BOB!  I am so excited about this stroller.  Thanks to the RobertsClan people who helped contribute to this wonderful gift.  It has already been used much!

Lilly on one of her first outings in The BOB!

First "tummy time."  She looked so cute!

Another way to do a month-by-month as I do have her in her carseat on day 3 and this is 1 month, 3 days...

Lilly and Grandma Brenda

This is the outfit that I came home from the "hospital" in.  My parents had to get something yellow because they didn't know what I was going to be.  Lilly is about the same weight here that I was when I was born...

Lilly of the Hood

My sister, Mel's, favorite outfit she gave to me.  Glad I got the picture because when she yawns is one of my favorite moments.

Lilly's favorite thing to do with Dad.  She has great balance and head control already.

Papa admiring his girl.

Our first family photo.  Part of a photo shoot my dad did.  I'll post more of those pictures later.

Lilly in her blessing dress (the day after the blessing).  My amateur photo.  I forgot to put on her bracelet that I made with my friend for the day. :-(

I have looked everywhere for my blessing dress but was unable to find it.  Saturday afternoon, Brenda and I thought about using Pret's sister, Kris's, dress as she has been unable to have any children.  It was perfect and beautiful!

Just a random picture in a cute outfit.  Lilly is staring intently at Grandma DeDee (my mom).

She's a cutie starting to smile!

Up close and personal...

Daddy-daughter hand-holding!

Duck, duck, goose!

Lilly has recently discovered her hands and loves to suck.  She favors her right hand in her mouth and left hand pulling her hair or ear.

Lilly's first time playing with a toy.  She still doesn't get the concept, but it was cute.  Sorry, I can't get the picture to turn the right way.
