More Family!

Lily has had a big week. Brian's dad ("Pepere") has flown in from New Hampshire to cuddle with Lily and to sing to. Along with him, he of course brought a stuffed animal moose to remind her of her New England paternal roots. Brian's brother's family drove up from San Diego to tickle Lily's three chins. Mike, Angie, Erin, Zane and Joli have offered wonderful words of wisdom and support. They have also passed on to us adorable baby clothes, baby carriers, and everything you could possibly need to keep Lily well fed and round. We've decided that Zane will be the offical "shusher" as he has a very calming touch with Lily and Erin will be the offical very cool "advice giver" as she has had years of experience and is very much "in the know." Joli will of course be her playmate.

Yes...she cries.

Several of you have asked...this perfect little bundle does indeed cry. She also poops (she actually has daily "blow outs"), she burps, she farts (actually like a old man) and she snorts. She snorts a lot. We think she is part Lara, part Brian and part piglet.

Lily's First Bath!

Not that she needed it of course... perfect babies never get dirty! But the time had come to submerge our little one in some suds, so we (Mom, Dad, Memere, and Auntie Hilary) all teamed up to scrub those little toes, and discover all sorts of new hiding places, like the folds of her neck skin... who knew that you could hide a whole set of wrenches, a watermelon and a kitchen sink in there? She did great and we think that she really likes water! Thanks so much to her Great Auntie Janet and Great Uncle Nick for the baby bather... it kept her body in the water and her head in the air... what more can you ask for?! Here are a couple of photos to document the occasion... yeah Lily!

This must be a Brimhall thing...

They're huge!!!

Lily's First Word?

Ok, "first word" may be a stretch, especially for a three-week old...but we're convinced the squak sounded a lot like a combination of "Mama," "Daddy," and "Failure Mechanics of Weakly Lithified Coastal Bluffs!"

Nine Faces in Thirteen Seconds...

Lily and I tried to take a nap togther...instead, we ended up making faces at each other for over an hour.

Little Lily attends her first wedding!

Our good friends, Jereme and Ariel, got married at the Brazilian room this past weekend. Brian and I were honored to be a part of the wedding. Lily was super stoked to be a part of the celebration too and dressed up in her wedding haute couture (also known as a moby on her Auntie Hilary). The night was beautiful. We are so happy for our friends.
