17-18 Days Old

Lily Has Curls & Starts to Smile


Dad put some gel in Lily's hair for fun ... girls can play dress-up but dad just wants to mess up your hair.

... Mohawk baby!


Just crazy hair in general baby


Awwww, sleeping baby is so cute


Haha, this time she didn't even have gel in her hair ... we had just given her a bath and her hair stayed super curly


The new parents with their cute little baby


They're so enamored that they already forgot there was a camera


Lily is learning to smile ... here is the before


After


... then later she gave one more ... the night before (maybe TMI for a few of you) ... I was holding her and bouncing her while she fussed ... then she just let a huge one rip ... like a shotgun ... and I jumped because it was 2am and I was not expecting a shotgun blast ... then I start hysterically laughing and talking to her saying how hilarious it was ... and then she just gave me the hugest smile ... it was hilarious


... this is before ... she is kind of tired ... then two seconds later ...


... and we're awake!!


... and out for our daily walk


... followed by some cuddles


... and look, Lily can do the splits!


... and tie her legs in knots (that's a full lotus for you yogis)


... and newborn pants fit her perfectly


... give anyone a pacifier and they fall asleep


... haha, huge yawn 


... and Lily is confused by her rumble chair


... and those newborn pants ... still looking good and fitting perfectly

Some Highlights from Grandma's Camera

A beautiful lily for a beautiful Lily

Out for a walk on the town 


Some of the many faces of Lily ... 






... but I save the best for last!
... this must have been after another one of her big jokes


... and this is just a great pose after a nice bathe

15-16 Days Old

Lily's Eyes Become More Focused


Lily sees herself in a mirror for the first time and it takes her breath away ... "is that me?!?!"


she was mesmerized ...


... then she started posing in dad's new birthday presents






... and after she had a nice bath ... 


then went for a walk ... and my god isn't lauren looking amazing?! 


Lily LOVES going for walks ... she is out like a light!
Yesterday, Lauren and Leslie came to the tennis courts and watched Dominic and I play for a bit ... then we all went out for sushi ... it was Lily's first sit down restaurant and she behaved amazingly!
... because she was zonked out ... 


... and this is probably one of the best shots I have taken of mother and daughter!

13-14 Days Old

Lily's Two Week Birthday

Probably the best new thing Lily is doing, is smiling more often. Still not quite in reaction to anything ... more at random times and not for long ... but it's super super cute when she smiles ...

This is her looking up at her mom, listening in amazement and wonder ... 


... then she said "hey, i think i have a joke for you ... how does an eskimo build his house?"


"... igloos it together!!"


... this was her reaction to not getting enough cheers and laughs


... Some quality time cuddling with dad


... nuzzle up under that chin you little cutie


... and then some quality cuddle time with her sexy mom


... i think she is sleeping much more comfortably than with dad ... 


... now the rest of the pics are from her 2 week birthday ... but she was so hyper she was hard to photograph ... so I only got a few ...
