Loving Lila

There's someone very special I'd like to introduce you to.  Lila Michelle Lundstrom made her debut in our lives at 6:54am on July 8, 2012, weighing an impressive 7lbs 15 1/2 oz at 19 1/2 inches long. 


And just in case you were wondering, she is absolutely perfect.

There are a million wonderful little moments to experience when a new baby arrives in your life, but absolutely nothing can top the moment your children meet each other for the first time. 



Though we're dealing with a little of the inevitable jealousy over mom and dad's attention, Ava adores her new baby sister.  She holds and kisses her while softly stroking her little baby cheeks, and leaves everyone in the room completely smitten.  What a joy its going to be to watch these two lovely girls grow up together.

Here are a few highlights from Lila's first few days on earth:

First snuggles, first bath, and first family photo:

And here are a couple more pictures, just because I know you can't get enough of these sweet faces.



Much more to come, but I have some snuggling to get to.
