Slept all night long!

Lily slept through the night! For the first time since she's been born, we didn't have to get up and feed her last night! She woke up a few times but I just put her binky back in her mouth and rocked her back to sleep. I was amazed! She fell asleep around 8 and then woke up right before 7. She's amazing! Yeah, I know I look great in this picture... lol jk.

When Todd Babysits...

She has great aim. She COMPLETELY missed the burp cloth but got Todd...
All the damage she created. She had a lot in her!
This is what happens when Mommy comes home! She knows what's up! I got a call from Todd yesterday while I was at work and he told me that Lily had thrown up all over him. She's been sick this week and it makes me sad to see, but I laughed really hard when I saw what she had done. This very thing has happened to me at least 4 or 5 times, but it was good to finally see it on Todd. No offense to Todd, I just hate to be the only one she chooses!

P.S. This is the first picture we got of her smiling! Yay!

Lily's Blessing Day

This is Lily in her dress. she looked like an angel. The blessing went well, but she cried through it all. She was tired and the binky wouldn't stay in her mouth, oh well.
Us together at the luncheon. I look funny in this picture, that's fine... The luncheon went great the food was delicious!

This was her at the end of the day. It had been long but it was good! She was gorgeous and we got to celebrate her life. The weather was awful the night before so some people didn't get to make it to the blessing. We missed them, but we understand as well. Snow = scary roads. We're happy to have such a beautiful baby in our lives! Thanks for being so great Lily!

Our Awesome Daughter

The other day, at work, a friend of ours wrapped Lily up like this to try to calm her down. This was her afterwards. Oh my goodness after we looked at this picture, we laughed forever! Yeah, that is why we have the cutest little girl ever!

Candids

Bundled up and ready to go. Gotta make sure the straps are under her double chin. I love how chubby she's getting, it's adorable!
He's so HANDSOME! He's holding our nephew Robbie.
So sweet! She likes to smile when she's sleeping, I'm trying to get a picture of her smiling. We got a video but I'm not sure how to post it quite yet.
Like mother like daughter... I love it when she just passes out on me like this, it's so funny!
She LOVES her swing. She just zonks out when she gets in and is super cute. That's where she hangs out when I need to take a shower.

Doctors Appt

I took Lily to the doctor today. She weighs, yes a whopping 10 lbs. 11 oz. She is now 21 inches long and is super super cute! I'll get some more pictures when Todd get's home from doing homework. But, she did get her shots today, I think I cried a little while we were there. It was AWFUL! I never want to do it again... yet in two months we'll go through it another time!

Thanksgiving

This year for thanksgiving we were at Rhonda's house. It was so much fun. During the week Lily and I were able to hang out with April, Taylor, Jeremy, and Rhonda. Todd worked all day Wednesday and had class monday and tuesday so he didn't get to hang out with them quite as much. The weekend was full of playing the Wii and visiting with family.

Thursday we ate a delicious dinner and then indulged ourselves in many pies that I made for the family. They turned out quite well and I was pretty proud of the job I did. Later on Thanksgiving the Livingston tribe came over and we all played spoons, mafia, and the infamous name game. I love the Livingstons, they are so much fun! It was so good to spend good, quality time with family for a good amount of time. It was fun to get Robbie and Lily together again and see who is bitter now. Lily wins! She's definitely getting chubby!

Friday morning, Todd and I got up and drove to Richfield. Most of my family was at my parent's house. It was CRAZY there. I swear there were about 5 adults and 20 kids. Everyone wanted to hold Lily and play with her. I was fine with that as long as they washed their hands. While we were there we played some more Wii, visited with family, and helped my dad with his Christmas Lights. Friday night Todd and I went to the Chidesters and played some Phase Ten with some old friends from High School. Lily was already in bed, so we got to slip out for a minute. On saturday I got to go to Mary Pope's bridal shower. It was one of the most fun showers I have ever been to. Congrats Mary! I think she's pretty excited about getting married and I'm so happy for her!

All in all we had a good weekend. It was nice to get home and enjoy our own home with room to spread out on our couch. Our Christmas decorations are up and we've been listening to plenty of Christmas music! My favorite time of year!
