Lily Sleeping

One more picture of Lily sleeping. She is not a quiet sleeper. She also moves around a lot. Here she is all spread out sideways.

Lily Week 3

Here are some pictures of week 3 of Little Lily's life. She is doing wonderful as are her parents. We couldn't be more happy to have her.

Weekend Updates

This weekend was a very relaxed new family weekend for the Dixon's. Friday night we made it to Lily's first trip to Costco. Found bulk size diapers, wipes and formula which we are finding we need in bulk quantities. Saturday we picked up the keys to our new apartment in Batesville then did a little shopping in Cincinnati before heading back to Indy. Then Sunday, Dad and Lily watched football while Mom ran errands and cleaned the inside of the cars.

Thought we would share a few more pictures of the family.

Good pick for a single guy!

Dad and Lily. Looks like Dad is having more fun than Lily.

The Weather Turns

After a couple very beautiful fall days, we are back to rain. So no more stroller rides for us for a little while. This weekend we get the keys to our apartment in Batesville. Yes, we will now have an apartment in one town for the weekdays and a large house in Indianapolis for the weekends (doesn't make the most sense... but its going to work for us). Our new apartment is actually pretty nice. Its only about 2 miles from work, a block from the supermarket, and close to everything else. Kim will be starting back to work on November 13th, Lily starts at the babysitter on November 16th. It will be a big adjustment for us, but with an apartment so close to work, my commute will be cut by about 2.5 hours each day. More time to spend with my darling daughter.

In other news... We found out recently that our home was selected to be the 2011 Indy Show House (a charity that supports the Wishard hospital system here in Indianapolis). It means that we will have to take our house off the market and not sell it until then, but... the upside is hopefully we will be able to sell the house for more once the decorators get through with all their changes. It will be very exciting for us to see our home go through a full face lift (landscaping, interior, exterior... basically everything). You can see what the Show House is about at the following link.

This weekend Lily will have a couple more first:
1. Her first trip to Costco (aka Comcast)
2. Her first trip to the Outlet Mall (so Mommy can finish her Christmas shopping hopefully)
3. Her first Halloween outfit

We'll take some pictures and post more after the weekend.

Stroller Time and updates

It was a beautiful day yesterday and we had been to the doctor to confirm Lily is now above her birth weight. She is now 8 pounds 2 ounces, she had gained 10 ounces last week. When got home we decided to take Lily for a stroller ride around the block.

Lily's First Road Trip

It was a quick over night but we had a lot of fun seeing everyone. We got to see my mom's and Ron's new house, very easy to hang out and feel comfortable in, we had the upstairs to ourselves with a bedroom and bathroom and plenty of privacy and space. Here are some pictures from the trip.
