Lily's blessing day

What a happy baby on such a special day. Crae gave Lily an amazing blessing. I was such a proud wife and mother. It was a wonderful day! We enjoyed having family and friends share it with us.

Lily looked just beautiful!

Lily and Camden
Camden is Crae's little sister Desi's baby. He is one month older than Lily. They will have so much fun growing up together!!

Our family. This was the best we could do. Seriously - why is it so hard??

Fun with dad

Jaycie and Allie had a great time sledding with Crae. They all went outside to build a snowman. After about three minutes, I heard the snowmobile start up. Crae said that the snow was not "snowman building snow", but I think that Crae just wanted to get out his snowmobile! Either way, the girls had a great time. They loved it!

Both sleds pulled behind the snowmobile. Too fun!

This and That

Wow, time sure does fly by when you are having a great time!! We have been so busy with just keeping up with life. Having a new baby sure keeps you on your toes! Lily has been so much fun! We are just loving her so much. She is now 12 weeks old. I can't believe how fast it has gone by. She is an amazingly good baby! Here are some fun things about her:

1. She has brownish red hair, long blonde eyelashes and super pale-white skin. :) We

don't know where she came from!!!

2. She has a dimple on her right cheek.

3. She has been smiling since 1 week old. Not just the gassy smiles either. She is a cheeser!! We have pictures of her at two weeks just grinning! So fun.

4. She has super sensitive ears. Loud sounds (like her dad) can scare her and she throws both arms out and starts to cry!

5. She really only cries if she is tired or hungry - or scared from our loud family! Poor girl.

6. She is starting to giggle!

7. She absolutely loves her bath. It is so cute.

8. She sleeps for 6-7 hours at night! See what I mean - she is a GREAT baby!!

9. She weighs in at a whopping 13 lbs 8 oz at 12 weeks old. She only weighed 6 lbs 7 oz at birth!

10. She is too loveable!! We love her so much!!

Thumbs up
Those cheeks are just irresistible!

Loving to be held by her proud big sister, Jaycie

I had Lily in the bath, and Jaycie came and hopped in. Lily just smiled at her the entire time. Look at her face! (Sorry about the nakedness. Jaycie tried to make it G rated!!)
