Tillie laughing! Really funny!

Tillie is laughing at Olie and Sampson (the neighbor dog) running around the living room. She found it very entertaining and funny! Our neighbor Kelly is holding her and thought that Tillie laughing was so cute. I am sorry that it is dark, but I forgot to turn on the light and didn't want to miss her laughing. Enjoy!

Tillie and her baby doll

Tillie loves her baby doll. We haven't named her, we just call her baby. She loves anything with a face. Her and baby fell asleep on the way home from Grandma and Grandpa's house. How cute!

Yummy food!

Tillie had some bananas mixed with rice cereal today. She really liked it and made Mommy proud by eating all that she made. Yeah Tillie!

A visit from Andy and Jen

Tillie tried on Andy's had. She had to wear it backward to see. She had a lot of fun with them.


Andy and Tillie talking, probably about the Hawkeyes.

Tillie's first big vacation!

In the middle of June we traveled to Oklahoma City. We left on a Tuesday and spent the night in Des Moines with Tom, Tracy, Abby and Gabe. The next day we headed to Kansas City and spent the night there. At this point in the trip Tillie is very ready to be in one place for more than one night. Finally on Thursday we arrived in Oklahoma City! Yeah! This was also Mommy's first trip to Oklahoma City. We were very fortunate that Uncle Nick and Aunt Renee had room for us in the Cabana. It was the perfect size for us and was nice and cool since it was very hot there. On the trip, Tillie went swimming for the first time, we had a great time with the Cahalan Clan, and we met Ryan's girlfriend Martha. She was very sweet and Tillie really liked her.

Tillie and Aunt Renee had a lot of fun playing with the exersaucer.

Tillie and Mommy had a lot of fun chasing the duck in the pool. It paddled its feet and we would chase it until she got a hold of it. She loved to splash her hands on the water as she chased it and didn't care that she splashed water on her face. She just had a great time.


Finally success! We caught the duck.

Hanging out with Martha. I think there are 3 fingers in her mouth!


Daddy and Tillie in the pool. What a cute picture.


Tillie enjoyed floating with Aunt Renee. It was very relaxing.

Home again! What a tired girl. She was so good on her first long trip. Daddy was great and rested on Sunday before we came back and then drove Mommy and Tillie home thru the night. She was still asleep when we got home. We are so blessed to have such a great baby!

Love from Great Grandma

Great Grandma came to have some coffee and see Tillie today. Tillie loved chewing on her coat. She had a lot to tell Great Grandma too!

Visit from G & G C

Grandma and Grandpa Cahalan come for a visit. There was a graduation party and then Grandpa and Daddy went golfing. Grandma played with Tillie and rolled over many times for Grandma. It was a big weekend. First graduation party, dinner with some Cahalan Uncles and cousins and spending some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa Cahalan. What more could a baby ask for?

Going for a walk around the track at the school.

We went for a walk around the track at the school. Daddy and Olie went too! We were lucky and there was a little league game going on. A foul ball came about 15 feet away from Mommy and Tillie, but it missed us!

4 month shots

Even though there is a smile now, there wasn't this morning! Tillie had her 4 month shots today (5/26). Poor baby. She wanted to show off the awesome bandaids that the nurse gave her.

Tired baby.

Tillie was a very tired girl. She was overly tired and we had a hard time getting her to sleep. Finally we did and Mommy and Daddy took a nap too.

Bath time in the big girl tub.

Tillie loves to be in the water so we tried her out in the big girl tub. She loves to splash!

A Hawkeye fan already!

Daddy had bought Tillie this onesie for Christmas before she was even born. It looks really cute on her. Good job Daddy!

Hanging out in Des Moines

Cousin Abby was really good at feeding Tillie! She was so good she was swinging while feeding. Good work Abby!


Abby and Gabe had a lot of fun with Tillie. But Gabe was especially sure to let his mom and dad know that he didn't want his mom to bring a baby home when we went shopping. They didn't care for the crying too much. I don't think that we blame him!
