Finally - Pictures of the Baby!

Well, now that she's nearly 6 weeks old I thought I would finally post about the baby. Sweet baby Lillian is finally here. She was born on April 29, 16 days  after her "due date" (which I still think was wrong). She was 8lbs, 2oz and 21 inches long.

This one is just right after she was born. (Obviously) Looking back at this, it's amazing how much she's changed in just (nearly) 6 weeks.

  Sweet girl.

 They LOVE their little sister.

 The first time we did "tummy time" she feel asleep!

   Don't the girls look cute in their matching outfits? (Thanks, Mimi!) And Dalton, well he's always cute isn't he?

  Proud big brother. This was his first time getting to hold Lillian without my help.

   Although you can't see her face, this was the first time Caroline got to hold the baby without help and she was SO EXCITED. Since then she has been such a help to me, holding the baby when I need her to. (In case you're wondering, no, Emma Cate has not held he baby without help and probably won't any time soon!)

  Sweet girl. I love this picture. This was when she was 3 weeks old, the day before we went to her orthopedist appointment to find out if she has hip dysplasia.

 And, she does have hip dysplasia. So we had to get her fitted in a Pavlik harness. This was one of her first days in it. My brother-in-law said she looks like a baby super hero!

 She loves her chair and her swing! I wish all my babies had! (Guess there's a first time for everything...)

And she's just started smiling! She smiled for the first time on 6-4 and now happily smiles all the time. This is not the best smile picture, but those smiles are so hard to catch! Our camera is slow and as soon as it finally takes the picture she's already done smiling.
