| Lydia is tired of all of the pictures! |
 |
| At your newborn photo shoot, Sarah Severson (www.sarahseversonphotography.com )did such a great job taking pictures of you, and we are so excited to see how they turned out. She had you in such cute poses that Daddy and Grandpa got in on the act, too. You had your very own Paparazzi. |
Happy one week anniversary, Lydia! We are in love with you, and so we've probably taken too many pictures and videos of you. But you are such a miracle in our lives! And even though your mommy complained and complained about how much she wanted you earlier, you timed your arrival just right.

| Day 2 with Daddy |
You are our precious bundle of joy. The lactation consultant told us that you, along with 25% of the baby population, fit into the "sweet and sleepy feeder" category. After Mommy's milk came in and you were no longer dehydrated, you have been so sleepy that we have to wake you to feed you--and then you fall asleep while you are feeding! So we have to keep waking you up during feedings to make sure you eat enough. We do not know how we got so blessed with such an easy child (especially when Mommy and Daddy were both so fussy at your age).
 |
| This is one of your favorite poses, and you do this almost every time we try to feed you. |
Yesterday was very exciting. You went for your first walk in a stroller:
And the day before that you got a LOT of presents from your Nana (Mommy's mom), Grams, and Grandpa.
You made them all so happy, and everyone loves holding you!

 |
| With Daddy |

Yesterday, Daddy also gave you a tour of your new home. Mommy recorded it on video, but the sound isn't so great at the beginning of the video. Mainly you hear Mommy doing a lot of Darth Vader breathing (ever since labor, blowing her nose kind of hurts some rather sore muscles...and so her breathing is all skeewompus).
Here's the tour Daddy gave you:

ReplyDeletePoop-ageddon? Gross. Yes, I watched some of your other videos. Abe looks like such a sweet dad. I am glad that she is so good for you!

ReplyDeleteI didn't realize your mom was coming back for this. Very cool! And Lydia is absolutely adorable. Brian and I have been wanting to go to Chicago for a while, so we'll have to visit you and cuddle Lydia when we do. :)
ReplyDeleteI've only watched the video of the tour so far, but I thought it was hilarious. Abe is really funny and sounds like he's a fantastic husband and father. I think my favorite part was "Check this out! Once you're like 4, or 3, or whenever you start eating real food..." Hahaha!
Thanks, Aubrey and Megan! Amy, we would LOVE for you and Brian to meet Lydia! That would be wonderful. Keep us posted on when you decide to come to town!
ReplyDeleteThat picture of the three of us taking your darling Lydia's picture is so funny to me! I'm working on the pictures tonight and will hopefully have them ready by this weekend. Lydia is so beautiful!! I'm glad she's a good baby for you so far. Enjoy it as they definitely don't all come that way!! :)
