Lillian Aya Bruhn

Lillian made her grand entrance on July 29, 2011 at 7:33 pm.  The first week has been a blur of feedings, poops, and attempts at REM sleep.  She is growing well and getting chubbier every day, and she is sleeping long enough at a time to keep us sane.  We love introducing her to family and friends and are happily settling into our roles as parents.

It is so exciting that Lola has a new second cousin! Lillian is gorgeous, and she definitely has an adoring family. We just finished spending five days with Lola and had the chance to introduce her to her great-grandparents, so we know how special that is.
enjoy every moment; glad you're using the blog!

Oh, she's a lovely baby! That picture of her reading her first book is fabulous.

We have that same Ergo carrier....

Congratulations and much love to you three. Sleep while you can; they can mix it up and start shorter cycles again at later developmental stages, we've learned. But she looks like she's worth waking up for.
