january...

i started back to work in january which means that my free time has been whittled away, so that explains the delay in getting these pictures posted. here are some highlights from the month of january with tillie...

new years eve...we took a fancy family picture before heading out to a party with friends

here's some pics of tillie throughout the month. it's hard to believe how fast she's growing!

tillie's first swing ride

january is also a very popular birthday month in our family...grandpa and grammy kraft, aunt jessie, cousin noah, and joseph!

more silly pictures of tillie and her daddy...not sure which one is cuter

here's four month tillie - 14 pounds, 15 ounces and 25 & 3/4 inches long

and she recently discovered her feet...which makes diaper changes very interesting!

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!
