Happy Birthday Lily!

We celebrated Lily's 2nd birthday yesterday. I can't believe that she is already two. It is bittersweet. She was super cute when we talked about her birthday. I was looking for cake ideas one day and she just happened to see me looking at a Cinderella one and it was over from there. So here are a few pictures from her birthday party.

Here is Lily's Cinderella birthday cake that she would not stop talking about.



Just a few of her opening some of her presents.




She got a lot of Princess stuff and as you can see she loved it. She is my little Princess what can I say.

The forgotten child . . .

Until this week, Lily had never spent a night away from us. She pretty much had our undivided attention. So, you can imagine that this week has turned her little world upside down. I thought she needed some special attention, so I convinced Brock to take her to Disney on Ice. It turned into a full-fleged daddy-daughter date. Like every good date, it began at McDonald's. Then a ride on the train (which Lily loved).





After the train came the show (which she loved - and sat through the entire thing).

They were able to get great seats at the last minute (thank you recession?), but Lily enjoyed the view from the stairs more.





She was a big Mickey Mouse fan, but Mermaid won her over. She cheered for the Mermaid and yelled "NO NO" at the giant Ursela.




Lily had a great time (and Brock only fell asleep once during the show). Hopefully this is the first of many daddy-daughter dates.

Just in case you aren't sick of Paisley pictures. . .

A few more from the hospital -





Getting ready to go home for the first time - (forgive the bow, it's a bit big for her little head).







The proud parents -





First bath - thanks grandma Sherene!





Sleeping in the sunlight (hopefully to avoid having to sleep under the lights for a few days).

Big Sister

Lily loved Paisley, at least when she was in mommy's belly and didn't take any attention away from her. Lily also loved Paisley when she gave her a new Cinderella doll. Other than that, she's not a huge fan. Hopefully that will change. We did get Lily to hold her --

She's here!

We are excited to welcome Paisley S. Worthen into our family. Paisley was born yesterday (March 10th) at 11:58 pm. She is 19 inches long and weighs 7 lbs. 10 oz (roughly 65% of Lily's birth weight). Both Nicole and Paisley are doing well. Here are a few early pictures; I am sure more will follow.

I think she was happier in the pre-earth life.



Mom, dad, Paisley.



Already a finger sucker



And a daddy's girl
