Riley Noelle Ashford made her grand entrance on August 28, 2009 at 5:25 a.m. She was 6 pounds, 14 ounces, and is 20 inches long. She has blue eyes and a full head of dark, wavy hair.
Lauren and I have had a wonderful three days with this precious little girl. She manages to stay alert during the day for a couple of hours at a time. When I hold her in front of me, she looks at me and even manages to follow any movement that is within a foot or two of her face. Riley enjoys nursing so much that she has to be persuaded to take a break.
We are so thankful to the Lord for his gracious gift to us. We pray for his grace in her life as she grows, and for his grace in our lives as we learn to love her and care for her.
We love you all and thank you for your love and the many messages we've gotten from you. We hope to post some more pictures of Riley soon.
Love the pictures! Thanks for letting me have the chance to meet Riley on Saturday. She is a beautiful blessing from the Lord. We love the Ashfords!
