at 7 lb 8 oz and 18 in long.
she was so tiny and little
and had the longest fingers and toes i had ever seen!
she's just a skinny little cuddly baby
and when her cry gets serious you can definitely tell!
she is just a little dolly!
i remember being at work when ashley texted me they were on their way to the hospital. and then at 2:45 on friday, april 13, 2012, little lyla kate was born. i will never forget how excited i was to be an aunt! i mean, hello! game changer! haha! {i know, i know, we're not even the parents of this little girl and we still can't get enough of her!}
we all sure love lyla, and when we were driving to utah to finally meet her, it felt like we couldn't get there fast enough! blake is probably the proudest of us all! he just loves to hold her and he knows that he is definitely her favorite! after me, of course! ;) just kidding.... i know lyla loves us all equally. how could she not with all of the loving friends and family she has been born into!
we truly feel like lyla is a little angel fresh from heaven and we love her so so much! thank you ashley and jordan for sharing your precious little one with us! you two are wonderful parents and lyla is the sweetest, prettiest baby we've ever seen!
here are some little photos of her from the hospital! welcome to the family, lyla girl!
ashley's baby shower in slc was fantastic! andrae was a wonderful host and planned everything down to the very last detail! it was held at jordan's aunt's home and it turned out so lovely! so many friends and family came and it was so wonderful to see them all! and like i said before, the details were what made this shower so amazing! i kind of got distracted by all the beautiful goodness and wonderful company, that i put my camera down and just enjoyed being there. so, please excuse me for not taking a photo of you two, ash and andrae, together. that was my bad... but good job andrae! it was a perfect afternoon! and happy shower, ash!
we took ashley's maternity photos on march 17th in salt lake city.
