Sponge Bathing with Dad


We have been busy adjusting to life with a newborn and therefore haven't posted much, but I wanted to share some pictures of Lily now that she has reached the 3 week mark. She is doing really well, gaining weight like a champion (she was born at 6 lb, 3 oz and now weighs 7 lbs 11 oz!). She is sleeping for large chunks of time but of course chooses to stay awake for 3 hours at midnight! Lily really does like her baths! Here she is getting a sponge bath from her dad with a hair washing from her mom. She really loves the hair washing part, she gets really calm and focuses on our faces...she enjoys the body bath less because she doesn't love being exposed to cold air. Lily also likes to be outside, especially when she is fussy at night. She will immediately relax and stop crying if we walk outside on a warm night with the crickets and sequedas making their loud noises. She will even fall asleep thankfully. Finally, she enjoys spending relaxation time (about 3 minutes!) in her bouncy chair. Today she enjoyed it so much that she spit up all over herself, me, and the chair! She is so much more alert and awake now that I wanted to share some pictures of her with her eyes wide open.

Welcome Lily Avani !

On Wednesday August 6th at 10:12 a.m. we welcomed our baby girl into this wonderful world! Lily Avani Fagan weighed in at 6 lbs, 3 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. She entered into the world with a head of black hair and deep blue eyes. She has really long fingers and long skinny legs. Mommy, daddy, and Lily came home from the hospital on Friday and are settling in well. Luke, the dog, has been sniffing and wagging his tail just trying to figure out who this new person is and why it makes such strange noises!
We are trying to figure out her cries and grunts, and hoping we can respond to her every need as best we can! We look forward to sharing pictures and video with you all, so please check back often.
