Missing Daddy

It's hard to believe that it's been more than 2 weeks already. Lily is 17 days old today. She is growing like a weed and gaining weight. On Wednesday she went to the doctor for a weight check and was almost back up to her birth weight- she weighed 6lbs 12.8 ounces. She is eating like a champ and has adapted to our nursing/supplemental formula regimen really well. She is doing so well that we don't have to go back to the doctor until our well child check on the 21st. I think she feels noticeably heavier and she is fitting into newborn clothes now.
Today Brian had to go back to work. Lily and I miss him already and it's only lunch time. It was so nice to have him home for the last couple weeks. We had a great opportunity to bond as a little family and settle in to our new roles. He is a great Daddy. He changes diapers, holds her and prepares all her formula while I nurse. She loves her Daddy too. If she is fussy and he picks her up she quiets right down. She likes to fall asleep on his chest and snuggle up close to him. Since she spends so much time sleeping, snuggling with her is one of our favorite things to do. She spends a good hour or so awake in the mornings and then again in the evenings with little spurts of wake time around feedings. Like most newborns she sleeps more than 16 hours a day.
Over the past couple weeks Lily has gotten to meet some of her grandparents and her aunt Kelly. Everyone has immediately fallen in love with her. She is definitely going to be one spoiled little girl. Below are a few pictures from lily's first visits. Grandma Patty is here right now but I have not gotten her pictures on my computer yet... stay tuned for more pictures. :)
