Weekend Outing & 2 Weeks old!!!

I can't believe my little baby is two weeks old already! She has changed so much...and gotten a little chunkier! We had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and she weighed 9 lbs 3.1 oz! They were very pleased and so was Mommy! She is still doing great, eating well (obviously), sleeping well, and is just a sweet, content little girl!



Snapped this of my handsome little guy when we were doing a photo shoot yesterday and I just love it! We had to distract him with some Hershey's Kisses so we have chocolate on the face and hair is disheveled, but that's kinda how life is around here right now - messy but lively and perfect in it's own way!



Such a good big brother! He talks so sweet to Lilly that it just melts your heart!



Saturday we had GORGEOUS weather...like a perfect Fall day, so we all got out and enjoyed some fresh air at the Cider Mill. We usually go during the festival and it is crazy busy, so it was nice to be there when it was more low-key. We ate Apple Cider Donuts and drank Root Beer (that they bottle themselves) while we sat out on their porch. And of course, we had to buy some Apple Cider to take home.




Lilly's first outing - she loved it & slept the entire time!




Finn watching the women make donuts....




So nice that Grandma can be here with us to share some of our yearly traditions.




Finn had a blast...he is very social & loves going just about anywhere. He made some friends with an older couple who were out for a ride on their motorcycle. Not a shy guy, that's for sure. It definitely did him good to get out and about today!

Lazy Sunday

It was so nice to be able to just stay home today and not have anywhere to go! Finn is still loving his sister and is always interested in what she is doing. We are putting some finishing touches on the nursery and then I hope to share some of those pics, too! Now I'm off to feed my little girl and try to get some sleep!








Love this picture! It's the sweetest!

Saturday and Three Days Old!

Lilly is adjusting to life at home well! She is sleeping lots during the day, but not so much at night unless someone is holding her, but each night gets a little better. She is nursing great and has been from the start!







She had a quick sponge bath which she was not so fond of, and she has no problem letting us know when she is unhappy! :)

Welcome Home Lilly!

One proud Big Brother! As soon as we arrived home and got inside, Finn ran to his toy shelf and brought his trucks over and started showing Lilly how they worked!





We had the sweetest surprise Welcome Home Party! It was so pink & girly and just beautiful! Jana made the cutest banner for Lilly & we had beautiful roses & flowers, & yummy cupcakes that Finn & Grandma picked out. It was perfect! Thank you so much everyone!















So happy to be home with this precious little girl!

Baby Girl is Here!!!

We are so happy that our baby girl is finally here! Lilly Marie Johnson was born on August 25th at 11:42am! She was 8lbs 7oz and measured 19 1/2 inches long. She is amazing and we are so in love with her!!!



Finn was excited to see his baby sister and calls her "Yilly". He didn't quite know what to think when he saw that Mama was "in a bed" in the hospital. He wanted to hold Lilly and brought her a balloon. He still thinks that she should be able to walk and keeps telling us to "put her down so she can stand."





Sweet, sweet little girl!





Lilly didn't want to sleep much during our two nights at the hospital but she did love it when they wrapped her in this cozy swaddle sack!

At the Ball Field!

A couple weeks ago we went to a T-Bones game for the first time...enjoyed it much more than the Royals, especially with the kiddos! Finn was most excited about seeing "Sizzle" the mascot - even got to give him a high five (didn't have the camera!)- and that is all he could talk about for days afterward!




The kids got to pick out a treat, and Finn chose cotton candy which he wanted nothing to do with after the first bite!





Now, I must return to my nesting while Finn is taking a nap (thank you, Lord!!!). Only 3 more weeks until we get to meet Baby Sister and we cannot wait!

A few 4th Pics

Thought this was a sweet pic of Finn with his sparkler on the 4th -- first sparkler ever and he loved it! We had a fun 4th at Gram's house - dinner & fireworks, which finished right before the rain started! He loved all of the fireworks and now every time he hears a loud noise he says "I heard fireworks!"

Now off to get something done while he naps...more pics later (and I'll post some of our trip home).
