It's been a loooooong time...

OK, so I'm the first to admit that I have been a HORRIBLE blogger. Who knew that taking care of a baby would take up so much of your time? Just kidding! I've been having so much fun spending time & playing with Lily that blogging has been one of the last things on my mind. So here are a few pictures to catch you up from April until now. They include some highlights of "1sts" and visits from loved ones.

A few visits!

Yesterday we paid a little visit to Lily's future boyfriend, Kader, & his parents. Below are some of the better pictures from the visit. :)

Kader & his mommy Tiffany

Such a great picture!


Wrong in soooo many ways- we were trying to make them kiss!

He adores her already!

What a cutie pie!!!

So precious!

On the way home from her "date"- so beautiful!

Then today I had my 6 week postpartum check-up. Everything was great! Lily & I got a shot with Dr. Maydew; she delivered Lily.

Easter pictures!

While Lindsee was here, we tried to do a few photo shoots with Lily. These are her Easter themed pictures. :)

Notice the blue egg is strategically placed...

Sitting pretty in her Easter dress from Nana Cee.

What a beautiful girl!

I found these bunny ears at Michael's after Easter. I just had to get them so that we could take pictures of her in them for years to come!

Lily's photo session

Here are some of the pictures that Lindsee & I took of Lily. (Lindsee loves little babies' hands, so there are a couple shots of Lily's.)

Family visit

Grandpa & Meme finally came to visit Lily from April 1-4, & then Auntie Lou Lou & Uncle Jo Jo joined us from April 3-10. It was all of their first times seeing Lily, as she was the ripe old age of 1 month! We had a great time with all of them, & it was so hard on me for them to leave, especially Lindsee & Jordan, because it was such a help & joy to have them here during a trying week.

This is Lily rocking out Baby Toupee, version 2.0.

Lily in Meme's arms- she's celebrating being one month old!

Uncle Jo Jo & Lily

Look at that gorgeous hair! We are beginning to wonder what color it will be. It started off very dark, & it has lightened up considerably. The ends have blonde highlights, but the little baby hairs framing her face & her eyebrows look sort of red/strawberry blonde! We shall see...

Beautiful baby girl

Auntie Lou Lou & her snuggle bug

Sleeping on Uncle Jo Jo

Lindsee & Jordan were so good with Lily in little ways. They just loved to have her sleep on them, & she was able to get them to bounce her around any time she wanted! She will definitely miss them!

Love, Ashlee, Jeff, & Lily
