Lyla's Blessing Day!

Lyla was blessed in church yesterday and she looked beautiful! Josh did a great job, and she was awake during the blessing, but very content just looking around at all the men holding her. We had lots of family there and feel very blessed to have such a wonderful supportive family.

Here she is in her dress, which was bought by Grandma R

Our new little family of three!

This is all the men that were in the circle.
Uncle Todd, Rhett, Daren, Grandpa, Dad, Great Grandpa, Ty, Davis, Derek

Here is all of the family that came! Since we don't have any family in town all of them had to travel to be there. A big thank you to everyone for making the sacrifice to be with us on Lyla's important day.

This is my cousin Lydia just beaming as Lyla gave her huge smiles! She has been smiling more and more this week and we are loving it.

And proud first-time Uncle Derek

Our first 2 weeks

Our first two weeks have been rough, but also filled with fun and lots of kisses and smiles as we enjoy our new little sweetie. Here are some things we have been up to, besides eating, pooping, crying and sleeping.

The first bath-
It was a sponge bath since she was only a few days old and she screamed the entire time, it was just too cold for her, and not fun at all. But doesn't she look so scrawny and cute with her daddy?!

Exactly one week after she was born her umbilical cord fell off and we promptly gave her a real bath. She was much happier with this since she got to be in the warm water.

We did lots of talking and smiling-
Here's grandpa giving her some advice on how to be a spoiled princess in order to pay me back

First Outside Experience-

We went outside on a sunny day, she didn't like being in the front pack, but she sure looked cute in it, especially since I made Josh carry her :)

Doctor Visit-
Her second doctor visit was not fun. She got her heel poked and squeezed to get the blood sample and she screamed for about 10 minutes straight and harder than I ever saw her scream before! Afterwards she fell asleep in my arms on the way to the car in about 30 seconds

Stroller Ride-

I started feeling better recovery-wise so we took a short walk with Gma Green

Our favorite face-

It looks like more of an 'O' in real life, but this is her Zoolander "Blue Steele" look

LOVES her daddy-
She has acid reflux and is upset quite frequently, but Josh can calm her down right away every time. She already has him wrapped around her finger

Pooped-
Loves to sleep in the Boppy

And just for cuteness, take a look at those sweet little baby feet
