I realized the other day that we didn’t really have any pictures of Lillian and I so Mark took some for me.  He also got some cute other pictures.

For Mark’s first Father’s Day I wanted to get him something for his desk.  So I took these pictures of Lillian especially for him.  It took a few tries and after awhile she got tired of sitting on the couch.  Luckily, I was able to get cute pictures!

Here is a picture of daddy and Lillian on Mark’s first Father’s Day!

When Lillian is awake I have tried to get some tummy time in.  She wiggles her legs so much that she is actually scooting already.  I took this video yesterday but today she really moved a ton!  I had her on her play mat and she actually moved to the carpet.  Of course, this wasn’t the video that I was able to get.  The video is sort of long but toward the end you can really see how much she gets up on her knees.

Lillian is already two weeks old.  We had another appointment yesterday to check her weight gain and she is back at her birth weight.  We knew she was gaining weight because she is getting chubby cheeks and a little belly on her.  I want to take her picture with this bear every month to see her growth.   

My friend/co-worker had her daughter, Sarah, on June 4th.  Sarah is Dawn and Dan’s second daughter.  You probably remember seeing pictures of Samantha in prior posts.  They were able to come visit us on Friday so that Lillian and Sarah could meet, and of course so that we could see each others daughters.

Lillian’s umbilical cord fell off so we were able to give her an actual bath.  She wasn’t too fond of the water but hopefully that will change.  I was only able to get the two pictures because daddy needed some assistance.

I did a little “photo shoot” with Lillian on Tuesday.  I got some pretty funny pictures of the many facial expressions that she makes.  She is already so much fun to watch!  I only posted a few pictures so be sure to watch the slide show below to see the others.

We also put her in her swing which she seems to enjoy as well.  She is still being a good girl and on Thursday and Friday she was very wide awake for about 3 hours.  So we played with toys on the floor as well as had some tummy time. 

We gave Lillian her first bath at home on Saturday.  She did really well, but did cry most of the time.  I’m sure she was a little cold!  Daddy did most/all of the work, and mommy just tried to help out as much as she could. 

She really likes to throw those arms around as you can see in the first picture and it’s not just during a bath.

I tried to get some photos of Lillian at home so everyone could see what she truly looks like.  She has changed so much from day to day.  She is doing great!  Sleeping about 3 hours at a time.  As you can see in the photo her daddy absolutely adores her, but then again, how could he not!!

We had a follow-up doctor’s appointment today and everything looks great!  She went up from 6 lbs 9 ozs on the day she came home to 6 lbs 12.6 ozs today.  She is in the 25% for weight and the 50% for height.  We absolutely love our pediatrician.  She is the nicest woman I think I have ever met and she seems to truly care about how Lillian is doing as well as how we are doing as a family.  We couldn’t be happier with how everything is turning out.

Lillian Renee was born at 9:28 am on June 3, 2009.  She weighed 7 lbs 1 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long.  She is an amazing baby!  She hardly ever cries and when she is awake she is very alert.  We absolutely love her!

Labor started about 12:30 am on the 3rd with contractions about 10 minutes apart.  They started getting stronger and closer together so we headed to the hospital.  Shortly after being admitted I received a “walking epidural” which was a life saver!  I really had no pain from the contractions or the delivery.  I only had to push for around an hour.  She cried immediately and received 9’s on both Apgar tests. 

Grandpa and Grandma Baylor, as well as Uncle Jeff came to visit in the hospital. 

Overall, we had a great experience welcoming Lillian into this world.  The staff was very friendly and took great care of us.  They even offered to take our first family photo.
