Life & Times of Lillian Emmie

I apologize for the prolonged wait, but Lily needed some personal time before continuing her tour! As big a star as she is, Lily needs a little R & R from time to time too! For all of you mothers out there, I'm sure you understand the nighttime adventures that babies bring to your lives. Liana is a walking zombie, as Lily usually gets fitful & fussy come midnight. But, she is eating so well & is growing like a weed!!! At a checkup on July 24, she weighed in at 6 lbs & measured 18", quite an increase after only 2 1/2 weeks! I wish I could get a good video of all the "grunting" she does - Liana calls her our little "Pterodactyl", although I think she sounds more like a "Velociraptor" from Jurassic Park :) We can't wait for family to come visit this month! Her Aunt Courtney is coming in from Paris, Uncle Tyler from Utah, & the entire Skousen clan from Ohio & Utah. She will most certainly enjoy her momma's birthday tomorrow - she already has the "hunger song" & "diaper dance" ready to perform as her gift!

Kisses, kisses, kisses
Fun with GG & Grandad!

Oohhhh, how cute! Lily's really getting big! I'm sure she will enjoy meeting her aunts and uncles who are traveling so far to come see her. Mommy and Daddy are doing a great job, too, as are both grandmas. Keep up the good work!

I love the picture of Liana giving Lily kisses!! It is just so cute! Thank you so much for posting more pictures! It makes me so happy that even though we are far away I get to see her grow and change! I would be so sad otherwise, being so far away(not that I am a fan)! I love you guys! - Laurel
