Our first month with Baby Cecily!

Cecily is 1 month old! She has been the most precious, perfect angel. She sleeps 4-6 hours at a time, eats well, and calms down quickly. What more could we ask for in a teeny baby?! And she is absolutely beautiful. We feel so blessed to have this sweetheart in our family. She is just a little piece of heaven in our home.

We have taken her everywhere! Tons of restaurants and stores, temple square, a wedding, a parade, the pool, a baby shower... she just goes with the flow! She has met so many people! Here are a million pictures of our past few weeks together!

This face!

GG (my mom's mom, Gramma Dot) visited for a whole week! Aunt Becky came too!

If you look closely, you can see Cecily in the baby wrap. My first outing alone with my girls was to Einstein's Bagels... which coincidentally was also where Chris and I went on our first "date" after his mission. :)

Cecily and her 2 girl cousins on Chris's side. Baby Caroline (4 months) and Londyn (almost 8). They live in Minnesota now, but we got to spend some good cousin time together. We loved visiting with these guys, their brother Jackson (almost 5), and their parents!! 

Granddad (my dad) came for a long weekend! Come back soon Dad!! 

We just had to put Cecily in the doll cradle once. Cate loved it. Cecily did not.

This girl loves her Granddad.


My girls and I took a stroll around Temple Square with GG, Liz, and my mom.

Liz took this picture. Do I have the cutest girl or what?! 

Cate... babysitting?

Cecily and Katie on Cecily's blessing day. We did the blessing at Chris's parents' house instead of at church. Baby blessings usually happen the first Sunday of the month, but our families were in town the week of Sunday, June 29, so we did it at home that day. It was beautiful and so special. Chris's brother Cody took lots of family photos. Chris's whole family was there, and my parents, grandparents, and lots of extended family were there, and a few of our friends were there, too!

Julie Anne, Christina Julianne, and Cecily Julianne.
Clearly we're smiling at someone else... I hope someone has this photo at a better angle haha.

Granddad and Cate at Coldstone. Love all around.

Nan's last day in town was July 4. As per tradition, we attended the Boy Scout Pancake Breakfast in the morning, followed by the Park City 4th of July Parade, or as I like to call it, the Park City Dog Walkers and Belly Dancers Parade. We had lunch together, and then we had to say goodbye to Nan. Chris had to work, so I took the girls and met Nana and Papa (Chris's parents) at the pool.


(Sorry Future Cate, I know this isn't a very ladylike pose.)
Cate was SO CUTE in her sun hat and swim vest. She floated all by herself for the first time! Brave girl. And she just loved being in the pool with Papa. So cute. SO CUTE. 

Nana was a good sport to snuggle this girl when she zonked out after swimming.

Cate loves, LOVES her baby.

Another one from July 4th.

The redness on her eyelids are called capillary malformations... a nicer term is "angel kisses". They'll likely be there for a couple years. 

I love having a summer newborn- bare feet!



I am just in love with these bright eyes!

4 weeks old here!

Up in the middle of the night. Don't even care.

Cate's first "ponytail"!! It lasted about 2 seconds. It was kind of cheaty with those clippies anyway. We'll try again later.

The crossy eyes, the leg chub, the baby lips. I just love this baby girl!

Cece's first baby shower, for my friend from college, Allyson, who is expecting a girl in about 6 weeks!


And one of Cate in the bathtub. Because she's so stinking cute!


It is so difficult to get anywhere on time, and my diaper bag is so heavy and always missing something important, but this has been the best month of my life. Chris and I are loving being parents of 2! There is so much cuteness in our house we can hardly stand it!
