Meet Lily. Born on July 22nd, at 8:13pm, weighing in at 6lbs, 10oz, 20.5 inches in length. After the rollercoaster ride of a pregnancy (being put on strict bedrest at 30 weeks, then moderate bedrest for the remainder of the pregnancy) her arrival was fast and furious...so very opposite of her big sister. I started labor at 6:30pm and she arrived an hour and a half later (half of that time we were stuck in traffic getting to the hospital!) We have had a wonderful first month with the transition for Izzy becoming big sister, and having a newborn in the house again.
Stephanie Devries did an amazing job on these photographs (
http://www.mudandmagnolia.com/) She's an up and coming photographer in the Brainerd Lakes area. Her work speaks for itself, she's an amazing artist! It helps that we have cute kiddos too...I'm not bias, look for yourself, they're angels!
Izzy is all about Lily - she always wants to hold her and touch her and gets inches from her face and says "Hi Lily, Hi Lily Hi Lily!" It's pretty cute. The day of our photo session with Steph, Izzy was giving Lily kisses.
Such a genuine smile from our peanutbutter!
Steph was able to get Lily to fall asleep at the end of the photo session and get such peaceful pics.
Kisses to little sissy Lily!
Isn't Dave so lucky to be surrounded by all of us ladies?!
I had an idea to have Izzy dressed in these overalls and then to have her sitting with her legs strait out and Lily draped over her legs, naked and sleeping while Izzy kisses her back...it didn't quite work out. In fact, we didn't even come close to getting the pic, BUT, that's what you get with a 2 year old kid full of energy and a newborn. :) These are still adorable pics! Izzy's munchin on some goldfish in this pic.
Such a beautiful little girl!
And we've been blessed with another beautiful girl. More pictures and memories to come on the blog. We've had a busy month!
