christmas with the krafts

after christmas with the mathis family, we packed up and made the long drive up to pennsylvania for christmas with the krafts. we had lots of fun with grammy, grandpa, uncle nate, and aunt kathleen...and tillie even got to meet a bunch of extended family on grammy's side of the family! we had a great time and tillie loved all the attention from so many different people!

uncle nate has a way of putting tillie to sleep!

christmas with the mathis family

tillie got to have several christmas celebrations this year, the first being at grandma and grandpa mathis' house, along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins. it was a lot of fun, but tillie missed most of it because she fell asleep soon after the party started!

the cousins (plus aunt jessie)

the next morning we had christmas breakfast and presents with uncle mark, aunt jessie, cousin noah, and cousin sparrow

tillie had a fun time and managed to stay awake for this christmas party.

photo shoots in the bouncy chair

the bouncy seat has been a life saver on multiple occasions...as a place to sleep when her acid reflux was so bad, a fun place to play and wiggle, and a seat from which to watch mommy or daddy make dinner! here are some photos from the infamous chair...

i guess she eventually got tired of being photographed in the chair.

girls weekend

i recently joined a group of amazing girlfriends for a weekend getaway to the beautiful mountains in asheville. tillie got to come along and we had a blast with the girls...hanging out in our mountain house, trips into asheville for dinner, shopping, and the chocolate lounge, and of course a trip to the tattoo parlor! it was so relaxing and tillie loved being passed around between all of the girls!

she wanted to get a tattoo, but instead fell asleep with lorean. maybe next time!

two month tillie

at tillie's two month check up (on november 29), she weighed 11.15 pounds and was 23 inches long. this was also the day she got several shots...she wasn't too happy but recovered well.

seriously...this might be my favorite picture so far

tillie's first christmas tree!

on black friday we skipped the shopping and went to the christmas tree lot instead. we found a perfect tree and tillie was very excited about decorating her first tree!

she really enjoys looking at the lights
