Pictures!

I don't have much time tonight but I wanted to share some fun and cute pictures...

Visit with the Doctor and Jolly Ol' St. Nick

Last Wednesday, Ms. Lilie had her 4-month appointment with her pediatrician. She is doing very well...she is now 24.5 inches long (that puts her in the 55th percentile), her head circumference is 16 1/4 inches (60th percentile), and she weighs 12.4 lbs (25th percentile). I was rather worried about her weight because she actually lost 6 oz since her last appointment rather than gained any. However, both the doctor and Jason did a good job of assuring me that she is perfectly healthy and doing fine. :)

This weekend, Lilie got to meet Santa Claus--twice! First, Aunt Mar-Mar, Uncle Brian, and Brianna invited Jason, Liliana, and I to join them for breakfast with Santa on Saturday morning. It was a lot of fun and Lilie enjoyed meeting the big guy for the first time. Though, I saw a lot of other frightened little children so I'm pretty sure we'll look back at this year as one of the easiest in the next several years.

On Sunday morning, Lilie and I joined Aunt Mar-Mar and her whole family for more Santa goodness. Lilie had her picture taken again with Santa, she got a stocking, and she got to meet a real, live reindeer! It was a really fun weekend!

Aunt Tina, Uncle Brian, and Brayden are coming this weekend for a visit so it's sure to be another good one. (And that means I'll have more Lilie and Brayden pictures soon!)

Sorry about the quality of these pictures, they were scanned...

I've finally got some video to share! The first one is a little on the long side and but there are some good Lilie giggles included.




And here is a short clip of Lilie "talking". More coming soon!

Portraits

We had some professional pictures taken last night and I am so pleased with the way they turned out. The best part was the studio gave us a CD with all of the pictures they took so that we can share them on the blog! These pictures haven't been cropped or anything so please forgive me that. It was really hard to choose just a few photos but here are some and watch your mailboxes for more coming soon...

Lilie did so well; it was really kinda late for her by the time we got in for our turn but if she was tired, she didn't let it show. She loved the flash and the camera certainly loves her!
