The First Eight Weeks

Lillian Charmaine Sachs is born! She was was born on Friday, October 17 at 12:08pm. she weighed in 7 lbs and 10 oz and 22 1/2 inches long! where did she get that height from? she is a healthy girl and in her doctors words "perfect!" we think so too.  

Like father like daughter.  One of the first things i noticed about Lilly is her feet.  She has the same gap between her big toe and second toe just like Kyle.  In fact, we think she looks a lot like Kyle, same big cheeks and their hair even grows in the exact same pattern.  What an amazing crazy thing to have a kid and see bits of yourself and know she came from us. 

                                       Lilly is a peaceful, beautiful angel when she sleeps but getting her there has been tough for the rookie parents.  The thing is that Lilly hates

her crib.  We have tried all kinds of tricks to get her sleep but the best way to get her to sleep is to put her in the car seat and then in her crib.  It's a bit unconventional but were gonna do what works cuz we need our sleep and so does Lilly.  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

                       Lilly had her first "on purpose" smile at six weeks.  It was so great to see that big gummy smile.  A bit of affirmation that she likes us too. We love her so much and seeing that smile and coo makes me think she likes her life so far.
