Happy Halloween

Saturday night we went to a Halloween Party with Lily, however she decided not to wear her costume. She threw a fit when we tried to put it on her, so she went in a halloween outfit instead.
Tonight, she decided that since it was actually Halloween, she would put the costume on so mom could snap a few pictures.

Halloween Outfit







Little Lamb

3 months old

It's hard to believe how fast 3 months go by. Lily is growing and changing so much each day. She puts her hands in her mouth and is starting to put anything else she can find in there too. She is grabbing onto some of her toys and loves to laugh at herself. Her nightly meltdowns have eased, and we now look forward to the evenings!!

On Monday, we moved Lily to her crib in her bedroom. She is a light sleeper and was waking up to any little noise when she slept in our room. She has been doing wonderful and is starting to sleep 3-4 hour at a time.

Tummy Time

Lily meets more family :)

On Saturday, Lily met Great Grandma Ida Morlock (Levi's Grandma), and her Great Aunt and Uncle (Nita and Bob Morlock). We had a great time visiting with them, and going out for lunch. Grandma gave Lily a quarter collection from all 50 states, it was so special.

Lily's Baptism

Last Sunday, Lily was Baptized! The service was held at my parents church by the pastor who married Levi and I. It was such a special day!!

Levi is in Las Vegas for work until tomorrow, so Lily and I have been staying with my parents. We have been here for 7 days, and are heading back to the cities tonight. We are excited to see "daddy." This is the longest he has been away since Lily was born. I'm anxious to see if he has noticed any changes in her. She has started to really suck on her hands and is making all sorts of new sounds.



Godparents : Greg and Laurie Meller (Lily's great aunt and uncle)

Giggle, Giggle :)

Lily is finally starting to giggle. Levi has been waiting and waiting to make her giggle, and now she is doing just that. She especially loves to laugh when she is on her changing table.

2 months

Lily had her 2 month check-up and shots on the 28th. She now weighs 10 pounds 9 ounces and is 22.5 inches long. Our little girl is getting so big!

What we have been up to...

Last weekend, we spent Friday and Sunday in Brainerd. Lily is starting to enjoy playing on the floor kicking her hands and feet. Saturday, we attended a wedding in Detroit Lakes. Lily loved all the attention from friends, and made it until 8:30 at which time we called it a night. Back home, Lily received a gift of a new play mat. She absolutely Loves playing on this. She is starting to grab the toys and is obsessed with looking at herself in the mirror.
Lily is finally starting to enjoy her swing! Levi plays in a flag football league, so Lily and I went to cheer him on.

Many firsts for Lily

Last week, Lily took her first nap in her crib. I put her in there when she wasn't quite asleep and she spent the first 15 minutes looking around at things. When she was bored with that, she fell asleep. She is so good about putting herself to sleep both for naps and in the night. For this I am so thankful!

Saturday, Lily attended her first Gopher Football Game! It was a beautiful fall day to be outside. She was so content in the Baby Bjorn, that she slept through the entire game. I think she secretly knew they were going to lose, and she couldn't stand the thought of watching it ;) With just one visit, Lily has already decided that she likes the campus and will be pledging Kappa Kappa Gamma in the fall of 2028 !!


Sunday, Levi's dad came to the Twins Game with us. Lily has yet to be at a game, and enjoyed it so much. The cheering doesn't seem to bother her at all, I guess she's used to hearing her daddy cheer / yell at the t.v.




Lily and dad were so tired when we got home they fell asleep right away.

A trip to the fair !

Saturday we took Lily to the MN State Fair! Levi carried Lily in the Baby Bjorn; they both loved it. With our many stops at the food stands, Lily was content with sleeping. Some of the highlights of our day were riding in the skyride that brought us above the fair to the other side, and looking at the baby animals in the Miracle of Life Building.

Busy, Busy, Busy !!

Lily met Grandma Marlys (Levi's Mom) as she came to visit us from Bismarck. We had such a fun time and Lily loved being rocked to sleep at night by her.


My girlfriend Regan came in from Dallas that same weekend to meet Lily. We had a great time visiting with her and Lily slept all three hours that we were out for dinner.



Lily and I went to Brainerd last Wednesday to visit Grandma and Grandpa Ebert, Levi came up Saturday. We enjoyed some time on the lake, and Lily helped cheer on her uncle Dan to a victory Saturday night at his race.


On Saturday, Lily was ONE MONTH old!! We can't believe how fast the time has gone and how big she is getting. She is starting to focus her eyes on things and is interested in looking around at everything, especially the lights.

A trip to the beach !

On Sunday, Lily met her friend Tallula at the beach near our house. It was a short trip as Lily slept most of the time, but was nice to get out of the house for a while and visit with friends.

Newborn Photos

Lily had newborn pictures taken when she was just 11 days old. My two girlfriends, Angella and Amy, spent three hours with us taking pictures. Below are just some of the amazing shots. Thanks again ladies !!!
