Miss Lily

This is what Lily looks like most of the time when she is awake. She likes being held and falling asleep on our chests so she can be warm and hear our heart beats. She struggled off the bat with feeding, but is a very good learner and improves every time. Things have been better since the three of us have been alone to bond without any interruptions, and she is developing a consistent eating/sleeping schedule which helps Amy and I plan our sleep schedules. Lily had her first doctor appointment on Tuesday and is perfectly healthy. Her skin and lips, which dried out from the birthing process are still a little dry which is perfectly normal. When her skin builds up some natural defenses we can start using lotion on her.
This is a picture of her other normal look she gives us. We call her pirate Lily. Because she sleeps most of the time, when she does wake up she will squint and look with one eye to judge the landscape and either nod back off to sleep, or recognize us and finally open both eyes.
This is our first family picture, taken on Saturday.
