Life with Lilly

We're coming up on 2 wks of life with Lilly and I just can't believe it! Lilly has kept us on our toes for sure, but we love learning about our little daughter. She's such a cutie pie and has changed so much in the week and a half we've been home. She has definite 'wake times' where her eyes are open for an hour or so, and she is beginning to be able to hold her head up when we have her on our chest/shoulder.
Seth has been the most wonderful husband through the whole labor/delivery/recovery process, and is an amazing father to Lilly Jo. He is constantly telling Lilly how beautiful she is and how much he loves her. Until Lilly is old enough to comprehend and know God's love for her, her view of a loving heavenly father will come from her earthly father. What a privilege and special gift Seth has. He's a fabulous father already and I couldn't be more grateful for him. You can often hear him calling her 'peanut' and 'sweet pea', and loves watching her while she's asleep and making funny faces. He has also been my number one fan as I learn how to care for Lilly - especially when it comes to nursing. We've had our challenges with breastfeeding, but overall, it's gone pretty smoothly and Seth has been nothing but encouraging to me.
We both agreed that last week was our favorite week of marriage. It's amazing to experience the gift God has given us, and we look forward to each moment we have with her (even the fussy ones!)
