Our little Lily will be 6 month’s old on March 9th and while we can hardly believe it has already been six whole months–it feels like her little smiles have always been a part of our lives!
Our friend Stacey of D and F Photography took these beautiful pictures for us last weekend at the Walker Conservatory. I love that we will have these to look back on forever!
Saturday mornings (when I don’t have to work) are the best.
Our last apartment in Denver was only a few blocks from Panera and Starbucks. Somewhere along the line my lovely husband fell into a really sweet habit of getting us bagels and coffee every Saturday morning. When we moved back to Minnesota, he kept up the tradition. With so many other changes in our life–new state, new baby, new place to stay until we find our house, new job–there is something grounding about carrying over such a simple tradition. Its about more than just the bagels.
We made an offer on a house yesterday afternoon–fingers crossed we get it. It is the perfect little house for our family. Jerome pointed out right away that there is a Panera and Starbucks within walking distance.
I think its a sign that it is meant to be.
The joy that her laughter brings stops me in my tracks.
Fake sneezes. Raspberries. Hair tickles. Funny noises. Kisses. Crazy dance moves. My shame is out the window–I will do anything to make that little girl share one of her precious giggles. She is stingy with them. They are a special gift she has shared only with a dedicated and inventive few.
As she giggled with glee tonight, I found myself wondering how can this vibrant little girl be five months old already? And promised myself that I would strive to write down as many moments as I can.
Her laughter is writing my life.
My sweet Lily is one week old today. Our world is unimaginably sweeter. She is absolutely perfect. Born 9/9 at 8:30 pm she was 8 lbs 10 oz and 20 1/2 inches long.
I am so in love.
While we wait on Lily to choose her birthday, I have been busily nesting. And now, after months and months of tossing around ideas, creating, trolling pinterest, and making decisions–the nursery is ready for Lily to arrive! I am so happy with the results.
Keep reading for more pictures!
