Christmas Angel

We got another few inches of snow today. After church, Lily was ready to go make snow angels - she waved her arms and legs in just the right motion. But Mommy didn't think that was an appropriate Sunday activity so we took pictures of her pretty dress instead. Then she fell asleep this way. Silly girl!

Ward Christmas Party

Lily had a great time at her first church Christmas party. Daddy was very busy all night greeting everyone. Bishops are very busy this time of year. Lily was passed from person to person - which gave Mommy the chance to eat dinner. Lily has discovered her tongue and will stick it out for you if you ask her to. She is also starting to smile at people besides Daddy and Mommy. She gets more playful each day.

8 Weeks - First Christmas Party

Grandma Jeannie gave Lily this adorable snow bunny outfit and boots. I just had to post pictures of it before she outgrows it. Tonight we put on a dinner for the bishopric and clerks of our ward. We had 18 people there. Christine made a beautiful rib roast and assigned out sides, salads, and desserts. The dinner was delicious and we had a great time visiting. Lily was all smiles and laughs for everyone at the party. We tried to capture a smile in a photo, but she was too tired.

Weight Woes

Lily was small when she was born and she has been gaining very slowly since then. The doctor was a little concerned so we have started supplementing her diet with formula. Just since last Thursday she has gained one whole pound. She now tips the scales at 9 lbs 1 oz. It is nice to see some meat on her bones, but she is still a tiny thing.

First Snow

Grandma Wanner gave us this cute snow suit to wear. We think it makes Lily look like Randy (Ralphie's brother in A Christmas Story). We had a sprinkling of snow in Idaho today, so we took a family walk and let Lily and the dog experience the arrival of winter.

Seven Weeks...going to see Daddy @ work

Lily was looking so cute the other day, I decided to pack her up and take her to see Daddy so he could show her off in his office. Our outing did not go well. She spit up on two of Daddy's coworkers and had to change her clothes because she got so much on herself! Mommy needs more practice with the camera - sorry about the overexposure and red eye!

Six Weeks...blessing day
