The Beginning...Eleven Months Late

After many, many, many times of telling people, "yeah, I'll do one of those blog things one of these days," I finally decided to do it (even though I am positive I said I would never really do it.) I understand that I am far, far behind, but here are a few photos of Tilly up to now. I guess this is my way of making up for lost time.

Here is Tilly when she was first born on December 20th, 2007.

Tilly a few days later.

Eric and Tilly taking a little break. Guess who was AWAKE to take the photo...

Baxter and Tilly...fast friends!

Valentine's Day...not quite 2 months old.

Bath Times are Happy Times!

Easter Sunday

Getting Ready to Crawl...who knew it would only be about 6 months later that it would actually happen!

Starting to scheme already...

First trip to church. We took her in to the service instead of going to the nursery. She slept through the whole service. However, I was so nervous that she WOULDN'T sleep that I paid no attention to the sermon. That was the last time Tilly went to "big church."

As far as I know, this was Tilly's first smile in a photo.

The exersauce was certainly our friend. How cool does Tilly look?!

Clearly, Tilly likes to eat. Here is Nana helping her out.

It is true what they say...you can't turn your back for one second! I had a neat, organized (alphabetically, no less) stack of mail, and Tilly decided that the mail would be really fun to play in. Thanks for your help, Til!

Fun in the sun!

Here is our little family on a Razorback game day.

And here is Tilly in a Razorback top. It may be a little misleading...it says "smallest fan." That could be up for debate.

Tilly at the Pediatrician's office. She has had her share of ear infections, but overall, we have been blessed with a very healthy girl. She is always around the 99th percentile for weight...

...though I can't imagine why! Only kidding. She scooted herself over to the plate of cookies, picked one up, and crammed it into her mouth as quickly as possible. I HAD to take a picture of it. Of course, one I took the picture, I took the cookie away--needless to say, she was less than thrilled with my decision.

Growing up and pulling up.

Tilly and Isabel Sory. As we say, "Friends whether they want to be or not!"

Walking. That's right--WALKING! This started at 10 months and three days! She is now all over the place and into everything. By the way, that's the remote control in her hands. She would rather have that and/or a cell phone than any other toy in the world.

So, there is the "Reader's Digest Version" of things in our lives over the last 11 months. (I realize that everything you've seen has been about Tilly, but she obviously is the highlight of our lives!) I hope you have enjoyed the recap. My goal is to try to post at least once before Tilly's senior prom. No promises, though!

PS: I realize that the vast majority of the photos are tiny. I downloaded them from another website as opposed to taking the time to upload them from a camera. I'll get better at this...
