Happy Easter!

Lily enjoyed her first Easter. The weather was so beautiful we decided to do a photo shoot outside....







...and then thoroughly enjoy our dinner...

I'm All Cheeks....

We are still waiting for our final pics from the professional photographer...they WILL be posted when we get the proofs, because they all came out great.

In the meantime, a few more recent photos. Lily has become "all cheeks" and her hair is growing...she definitely isn't a newborn anymore!

P.S. I just noticed that in almost all of the pics I've posted, Lily is just staring. She DOES smile & laugh - actually, quite often - we just never seem to have the camera ready when she does. My next goal is to post some videos to this page...keep your fingers crossed!

"Pictures of Lily..."

All of the pictures you see on this blog have been taken by our own camera. Now, early on, it was our little 4-something megapixel Casio, sooo 2007. More recently, however, we've been having fun with our new Olympus E-620 digital...like 14 megapixel bad boy! Below are a few great shots from Lily's most recent "shoot" that we thought you'd enjoy....

But...on Saturday, we had a professional photographer come to the house and do some things with Lily (thanks to Nana and Auntie Steph) so sometime in the next few weeks, you will see some actual professional pictures posted. We have already seen some samples, and they look great! Stay tuned....

Crawl This Way...

As you can see above, Lily is starting to take definite tastes in music!

Yesterday, on her 4 month birthday, Lily rolled over on her own for the first time! She has been getting much better at laying on her somtach and picking her head all the way up to see in front of her, and moving her head from side to side. Yesterday, we put her over for some more "tummy time" and without any hesitation, she threw one arm under her, threw the other stiff to her side, rolled to her back...and looked at us with brow furrowed like "what the heck just happened?"

And so the path to full mobility begins, and our lives REALLY change....

J - E - T - S

Lily was pulling for the Jets today, as they played in the AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. But anyone who follows football knows that the Colts are THE team to beat this year. Alas, the Jets were unsuccessful (albeit respectable in their loss)....




and so now she will be focusing her time on THE team to beat in NCAA basketball, and her future alma mater!
