Hello everyone!

Go Saints! Lily is excited about the win, can't you tell? Maybe she is excited that Daddy stopped yelling at the T.V. Just kidding, he behaved himself very well.

Thanks for my beautiful blanket Aunt Minnie! Her Great-great Aunt Minnie sent this to her from Mississippi. We cannot wait for her to meet little Lily. She isn't really sitting up on her own yet, I am sitting beside her waiting for her to topple and dad is taking the picture.

So cute!

I love my big brother Buck! Is buck going to try and play with her hair like he does with mommy? Not much to grab right now buck.

Hope everyone is doing well. We had a nice relaxing weekend at home. Here are a few cute shots around the house of our little angel.

Hello all.

Happy Halloween! She looks like she is trying to hide something.

Look at those beautiful baby blues!

Lily and Mommy hanging out in bed watching the today show.

She has the greatest expressions!

She is actually standing up on the couch and holding onto the arm all by herself. Don't worry, I am close by waiting to catch her. I think with her strong legs she may be a gymnast. We are so amazed by what she can do every day.

some outdoor photos

Hello all! I can't believe it has been a little over there months since we have been blessed with such a beautiful little girl. Here are some outdoor photos I took in our backyard. They are no where near as good as my sister-in-law's photos but she was such a patient little subject. Speaking of which, congrats to Dominic and Tiffany on their newest addition, Bradley Gerald. I will post some pics of him soon. I keep forgetting to bring my camera over there but Lily's little cousin is so cute! Also, I can't wait to show pictures of her in her Halloween costume. Keep watching for them.

Her first swim and first outdoor concert

We took her swimming for the first time at Elmwood. She did pretty good after she adjusted to the water tempature. It was chilly...not like her bath. She now has her first gym membership card. How cute!

Sitting up in her bumpo at home.

Her first outdoor concert at Layfette Square in the CBD. They have these free concerts Thursday nights downtown and we say Edwin McCain. The weather was so nice and we even ran into old friends.

Chillin' with Daddy at the Square

She was getting a little fussy towards the end of the evening. Poor Stefani seems to catch her in her worst moods. We will definatly try and make more of these concerst with her. We are slowly preparing her for her first Jazzfest (which will depend on the heat next year). Wonder if she will be old enough to try a Mango Freeze :)

Baptism brunch pics and an LSU cutie

This is an earlier pic of Lily watching the LSU game with daddy. Geaux Tigers!

Lily with her godmother, Emily. Congrats Emily on the engagement! We can't wait to see the ring (It is being sized). We are so happy for you and Tim.

Lily with her grandpa.

One of the beautiful pictures we got from Aunt Tiffany as a baptism gift. We are so lucky to have such talent in the family. Our prayers are with you, Tiff as Bradley approaches. We can't wait to meet him. Thank you so much for such a special gift.

Lily's baptism

Baptism by immersion at St. Clement of Rome church. Lily was very good considering she had to get dunked.

Us with Lily's godparents: Rodney Este, and Dr. Emily Vigour

Lily's godfather, Rodney. She was so good sitting on his lap during the later part of mass.

The beautiful cake Lily's cousin Lauren brought to the brunch.

Hello, everyone! Sorry we have been out of touch.

I finally got her bedding in. She is lying in her "big girl" crib enjoying the fish mobile. I am nervous about putting her in her in it for the night. It is so nice having her beside me in the bassinet in our room, but I have to let go sometime. I wll probably try in a couple of weeks. At least she has this pretty "beach cottage" bedding to wake up to. It is peaceful and cheery at the same time.

Lily and Daddy after going to the Brother Martin football game. How cute they are!

Lily and Buck seem to be on the same sleep schedule

We were so lucky with the hurricaine. We only lost part of our fence. So many others had it so bad. Our prayers continue to be with you all.

Sorry we have been out of touch for so long. I started back to work last week and have been so busy. Lily and Daddy have had great bonding time, though. The toughest part is getting her to take that first bottle. She usually cries to sleep and wakes up hungry enough to take one. Daddy has so much patience with her. I am glad that they have this time together.
