3D pics of Lillian

Lillian has discovered her face. We were able to see her suck her thumb and yawn too!

She's got some crazy toes! I don't know anyone who can spread their toes like that!

She already looks like her dad.

New Table

We finally have a dining room table worthy of multiple guests! Our previous table was find for our old house but would only seat 4. The new table is from a friend in the area who is getting a new one and just needed to get rid of it.

I hope everyone gets to come over and enjoy a meal with us!

I'll post better pictures later on but here is a glimpse of what it looks like. And it includes the china cabinet!

Nursery Furniture

A BIG Thank you to Phil's parents (John & Tommie Lee) and Mama Sue for buying all our our baby furniture! Mama Sue bought us the glider rocking chair and the crib, Phil's parents bought us both the large chest of drawers AND the changing table. The changing table, as you can see below, can also be just a regular chest when she gets older. Lillian will be able to keep this furniture for the rest of her life if she wants... the quality is good and the crib converts to a toddler bed and then to a full size bed.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

The polka-dot material over the back of the chair is the valence. I'm waiting until we get the mini-blinds up before I put that up as well.
I am planning on having her name spelled out in wood letters over her bed, held up by ribbons.

Family Ties

Mama Sue's response to Lillian being a morning person was so enlightening I had to share. Family traits are not just eye color, height and skin tone... they run deeper than that. I can't wait to see all the ways she takes after her family members. Looks like she's already got a big piece of Pahpah's personality already!


"I just finished reading about our Lillian's preference for the early mornings. It may be in her genes.

The biggest shock of my life was awakening about 6 am to my new husband singing in the shower!!!! I had always been a late sleeper and I did not feel that anyone should be that happy that early in the morning. It continued throughout our marriage and when I complained, he always said it was because he had to get up early to milk when he was young. I thought that 40 years after that fact he could have surely adjusted. What is funny now is that I find myself waking up early. Our mornings are the best time for me. I have a good group that I eat breakfast with and they serve us a wonderful breakfast so it is my favorite time of the day. You could always bring her down here and let her stay a few days. I am sure she would really enjoy the amount of attention she would draw. "

Lilly Lee is Officially a Morning Person

She gets it from her dad...

I get up several times during the night to go to the bathroom but she doesn't start moving until she feels/hears dad get up... at 5:00 AM! As soon as he's awake she starts stretching, kicking and rolling... I'm thankful she doesn't start this until after I've had at least a few hours of sleep though.

94 days to go and I can't wait to meet her! She has such personality already.
