Lily's 2½ Months Old and Getting Dedicated! Having turned 2 months old right before Christmas, Lily just keeps on growing, getting bigger and bigger every day. In addition to looking around more and starting to smile, she's starting to notice other people a lot more, even herself. When you add into that this weekend's dedication service...well, it's picture time. |

| In which Josh manages to hide completely behind his wife and stay out of a picture. |
Pastor Dove takes the newly dedicated Lily and holds her for the first time. |
Almost everyone prays, except for one person who decided to whisper into my nose. |

| Pastor elects not to keep the baby forever. |
Lily checks out the other baby in the mirror. (Does this situation seem familiar? How about now? Or now?) |

Aidan engages in lion attacks as Lily looks at the camera in weariness. |
Aidan tries to ham it up as his sister looks at him with love. And confusion. |

 |
| A double helping of cheese. | Lily waits to greet the pilgrims who seek her guidance. |
If there's one picture that justifies this gallery, it's this one. |

|
| Fearful of losing his soul to the camera, Aidan flees. |
A prim and proper face. | |
