april

april...easter, my birthday, playing at the pool, turning 7 months old, just to name a few highlights of the month. we love the weather these days and getting to play outside more often.  i still can't believe how fast she is growing - she balances on her own sitting up and can stand with just a little help.  

it seems like she's been teething for months, but we don't have any teeth yet.  we still haven't mastered the art of rolling over but she's talented at spinning around 360 degrees when she's on her belly, and makes some attempts to push up onto her knees.  in some ways i want her to start crawling so she doesn't get so frustrated during tummy time...but i'm sure i'll regret the day i wished for that when i'm chasing her all around charlotte as she crawls away from me! 

she's showing her little personality now, loves to smile and giggle, especially with her daddy, and is very clear about what she wants (or doesn't want!)  peek-a-boo is a hit, as are all books, the backyardagains, toys that sing and light up, and pretty much anything she can fit in her mouth and chew on.

tillie continues to steal our hearts daily, and we love getting to be her parents.
