Bio: Little Lily came into this world late on Wednesday, a deceptively small yet adorable little sprite with a penchant for classic baby shenanigans. After being admitted to the hospital around 7am for the induction process, Lily's mother Katy began having serious contractions around 3pm, with "go time" beginning around 8:45pm, and lasting a little over a half hour. Thanks to the wonders of modern medicine, 'go time' was relatively painless, although the same can't be said for the hours preceding it, sans medicine. Lily's mother was brave, her father a nervous wreck.

Lily's birth was immediately followed by the tears of a humbled father and the comforting embrace of a awestruck and somewhat dazed mother. After enduring an uncomfortable but not uncommon process wherein all the gunk was suctioned from her tiny lungs, her vitals checked out splendidly and she spent her first night in the Windy City with her parents and her favorite nurse, Seli.

Lily currently resides on Olive Street in Chicago, living with her parents and a cat named Carmella. She sleeps in a bedside bassinet (for now) and dirties an average of 7 diapers a day. Much of her free time is spent napping, looking cute and feeding on the teet of life. Her attention span is short, almost babyish, and she can't yet work a keyboard or use a proper toilet. She is tiny, beautiful and completely and utterly perfect.
