7 1/2 weeks...

Where does the time go?! Part of me can't believe that it's only been 7 1/2 weeks since Lily was born, and then another part of me feels like she was just born yesterday! We have been having so much fun with her at home. It's fun to watch her grow, change, and start to do new things! I might be biased because i'm her mom...but she gets cuter every day...and sometimes i still can't believe she is mine :)
Here are just some pictures of what we've been up to!

Our jogging stroller arrive a while back and we have enjoyed taking walks and runs with her in the jogger. She does great in it...even though the instructions say not to use with kids under the age of 6 months haha.


Over the past week or so she has really started to smile. It is so fun and sometime funny to see her do this. I keep trying to catch her smiling but it's hard! this is as close as i could get it with the camera.

This one is totally goofy i think...don't mind the bad lighting...


Hanging out with dad...


Here she is trying on her life jacket for our summer weekends at Big Star...she wasn't a fan, but she'll have to get use to it!


Since we have brought her home from the hospital Lily has slept in her vibrating chair...she did not like to lay flat on her back. However...i have been t
wanting to break her of this habit, so i have been putting her in the pack in play on her back for naps for the past week. Last night i decided to try having her sleep in there and she did great! Yeah...one step closer to the crib! :)

Tulip Time

Although Lily is only 4 1/2 weeks old i wanted her to wear a little dutch costume for Tulip Time. I toyed with the idea of putting her in an American Girl Doll costume...but it would have fit her, but then I was able to borrow one that was small enough for her. I have to say she looks a little silly...but also very cute :)

We wanted to try to get a picture of Lily and her cousin Ella together...but, it didn't work out so well :) When you have a baby who can't sit up by herself and another baby who only wants to come by her aunt betsy...it makes it hard to get a good picture.
"Why are you doing this to us...we don't want our pictures taken!"
