2 1/2 months!!!!

WARNING!! i JUST REALIZED SHE'S NAKED ON TOP IN ALL OF THESE PICTURES... SHE HAD JUST SPIT UP ALL OVER HER SHIRT. DON'T JUDGE ME, HER EXPRESSIONS WERE TOO FUNNY TO PASS UP! :)ANYWAYS, I cannot believe my little one is already 10 weeks and 2 days old?! It's amazing how quickly they grow. Everyone says that, but until you experience your own child every day, it doesn't seem like it! Today we were just playing at home and I was able to capture a few of her "every day" expressions. This kid already has sooo much personality, and we just can't get enough of her! Hope you can enjoy the many faces of Lilley girl as much as we do. She is such a sweet little girl!

At Last...

better late then NEVER i guess... :) here is the official announcement. I made all of them, we decided we were only going to send them to family since they just get thrown away anyway. It's not as cute as the final product, but atleast you get the idea.

Blessings and more

Well the end of July and beginnig of August was busy for us, we had some family in town visiting, all the Velasquez siblings and kids got together with cousins for a family picture, we blessed little miss Lilley the next day,(Frank gave her the most Beautful blessing) it was so AWESOME to have all of our family there and extended "mormon" family as well. Such awesome men stood around my little girl, truly a gift! Later, Frank had some free time so we introduced Lilley to the pool and man was it fun, she cried when she had to get out, so we put her in the spa and after we took her out she was asleep within seconds. :) thats my girl!! ha ha, anyways, here are a few of the most recent pictures...

Oh the babies...

Frank and his older sister are really close... (well he's close with both of his sisters) but they are a little over a year apart and have shared much of their life together, so when we found out we were pregnant we were so excited to share the news with her and her husband because they had just shared with the family that they were expecting their second child. We were due just about a week and a half apart, and just about two weeks after "baby Jake" was born, we welcomed "baby Lilley." We can't wait for the two of them to grow up and share their life and experiences together just like their parents did. :) here are a few pictures of the two of them... (and also aunt Kris, jake and sophias mommy and aunt alexis)

a MONTH old already!

here are just a few pictures from our afternoon outside on baby Lilley's one month birthday...











I can't believe our little one is already a month old! So much about her has already changed, and is continuing to change each day. It's amazing the difference in a baby a few days old and a baby at 4 weeks. She's got a few new tricks she's learned and is learning yet...

* FIRST AND FOREMOST: SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT!! (since the beginning) occasionally waking for one early morning snack about 5:30.

* rolls over to either side in her sleep.

* mastered the art of nursing within the first few days of life.

* follows mom and dad with her eyes when they are walking around near her.

* LOVES LOVES LOVES to be held and snuggled.

* adores her swing... DESPISES CAR SEAT AND BOUNCER.

* starting to do push ups during tummy time and hold her weight. (not for very long though).

* she doesn't like to be alone... it's strange, since her first day of life she would cry if you walked out of her range of smell... she can sense when shes alone or something and cries until she hears you even when shes asleep... as soon as she hears a voice or sees you when awake, she's fine.

soooooo in love!

31 years and counting!

Happy Happy Birthday to my WONDERFUL husband. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, and am so happy you chose to come to earth this day. Our little girl and I are so happy to have you in our lives and look forward to an eternity of happiness to share with you.

We celebrated last weekend a litte with the Velasquez family, and today we had our celebration with us three, and the BIG celebration is coming this weekend...

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! XOXO
