Pulling herself up!

Since Tillie has mastered crawling around, she has started to put herself up! Nothing is safe now. Must do more baby proofing.

On the move.

Tillie is all over the house now! Watch out.
When Tillie crawls, she likes to stick her tongue out and make a funny noise that I know I can't describe right. It is like she is sucking air in. Very cute.

Tillie puzzle

Tillie has a stool with her name in it in a puzzle. We recently got it out for her to play with. She loves to take the pieces and bang them against each other or on the stool. She does like to chew on the pieces too. It ok for her to do until she gets more pieces. Hopefully she will learn how to put the pieces back in and how to spell her name too. Our goal is next month.

Can you even reach the handles?

Tillie and cousin Emily on a 4 wheeler. I think that Tillie would like to drive, but I don't think that she can even reach the handle bars to steer. That won't work! Maybe in a few more years Tillie.

Great Grandma Norma's 80th Birthday Party!

Tillie is in her travel highchair. I just love this picture. As you can tell we always have to have pacifier still.

Tillie had a few screaming fits at the party so Grandpa took her for a walk. Everyone enjoyed hearing her, but I am sure that a few might need hearing aids now! It was a great party and I hope that Norma had a great birthday. We all had a fun weekend in Mason City with the Cahalan Clan. We all managed to fit into Grandma and Grandpa's house too! We look forward to Chirstmas!

Tillie was very tired on Sunday from the busy weekend. Doesn't she look peaceful?

Crawling on the couch.

Tillie is crawling on the couch. Not where she is supposed to be crawling Daddy! It makes Mommy nervous. She is on the move now. She has the hand and the feet going together finally but still doesn't go very fast. She will before we know it.

Yummy in my tummy.

Tillie is enjoying some puffs and yogurt bites. She prefers the yogurt bites though.

Playing with Alena

Cousin Alena came over to play all day today. Tillie and Alena had a lot of fun. Tillie watched Alena eat and figured out how to put yogurt bites and puffs in her mouth herself! Alena is a good teacher. As you can see above, Alena is also trying to teach Tillie how to crawl. She has been trying for some time now, but doesn't always get the hands and the feet going at the same time.

Sorry the picture posted sideways, but it was just cute.

Tillie finally met Thea!

Tillie's cousin Thea was in CR for a surprise visit. Tillie has a lot of fun with her and really liked her sunglasses. Mommy had fun hearing about Thea's fun job. It sounds fund to Mommy, but I am sure that it is a lot of work.
