Lily with her godfather and " the Happiest Baby on the Block"

The first is a pic with her godfather, Rodney. Last Sunday was her first time to meet him. We are so excited that he is playing such an important role in Lily's life. Emily is her Godmother and I am sorry I missed the chance to take her picture with Lily but they did meet last Wednesday. The next two photos we took after watching the video "the happiest baby on the block" and it was so helpful. Even a pediatric nurse can learn new tricks. She goes from screaming to being bundled, shushed, swaying in the hand and next thing, we know...she is fast asleep. Daddy is fast becoming an expert at Dr. Karp's teachings. BTW, I would recommend this video to everyone with a new baby. It does wonders. The last is a pic I took today. I cannot believe that she is already almost a pound over her birth weight! I know I am prejudiced but....isn't she just so pretty?

Some photos from last week

These photos were taken last Thursday. She has grown so much since then. She now weighs 8lbs and 10 oz. The first one, where she is wearing a fru-fru dress from Gigi (my mom), she looks like she is throwing up a gang sign. Maybe she is unaware that we moved to the suburbs.

Latest pics of our little angel

Lily after her first bath...which she hated. She was very quick to calm down once she was bundeled up.

Lily looks so intently at people. Here is a sweet moment with daddy.

I try to catch her "smiling" and this is the closest I could get.

I think she is working up a cry here...although she sure looks happy.

I have been so busy lately feeding and holding her. I don't know what I would do if mom were not here to help out. She has been a life saver. Our little one sure is an angel. More pics to come although I do not think they do her justice. She is just so pretty!

Touching moment for Kerry

This is the most touching moment for me (Kerry) during the last week. Lily had just arrived in the nursery after the birth and was crying, as babies usually do. I then touched her head and feet for the first time to comfort her and she immediately stopped crying. God touched my heart and let me know at that moment that I was a daddy.

Her first dress she wore when we left the hospital. She has some baby model potential!

Gigi getting some lovin'. We can't thank Kelly's mom enough for all the assistance she has given us this week. We love you!

Cousins Reno and Sarah get to see Lily in a bili light.
