Sweet Baby Girl

I'm really going to miss this when I go back to work next week!

Tillman had her 9 month check up today (even though she is 9 and 1/2 months old).
Her new stats are:

Head = 18" = 90%
Weight = 23 lbs. = 96%
Length = 30.5" =  and I quote, "off the charts" = greater than 100%  WOW!! :)



Hello, stranger.

I know it has been a while since I have last blogged, and I apologize for that. For those who don't know, we have moved, so needless to say, we've been busy. We just moved 3 miles down the road so it was a pretty easy move, but doing it with a 9 month old seems to slow you down a little bit. We are getting settled into our new home and we are very excited about our future here! We are now on 1.5 acres with plenty of space for Tillman and any potential siblings to roam and play freely. The only flip side to the move so far is that we have not sold our other house (yet). So say a little prayer about that! We have an open house set up for this Sunday, and another one again in a week, if needed. The old house is getting a brand new roof due to a hail storm and the new house is getting plenty of touch-ups and "fixes" as well. Here are some shots of the new house. Keep in mind it is a work in progress. :)

Tillman is growing by the minute and we are falling even more in love with her as the times passes. Josh and I are really going to miss being able to spend so much time with her once we start back to work and the school year kicks off. It's been wonderful being around her so much and watching her grow and change. I will admit there were a few times that I wished we had a nanny or some family nearby to take her off our hands, but that's when Josh would just kick me out of the hosue and force me to have some "me" time.

I have some 9 month pictures, even though they are about a week overdue. This was a very difficult photo shoot for all of us because Tillman was very active and squirmy. She was definitely not in the mood to sit still and smile on demand. We were also supposed to have her 9 month well-check today, but our lovely Dr.'s office decided they would reschedule an appointment that had been set for 3 months and not inform the patient or her parents! Don't get me wrong, I really do love Tillman's pediatrician, but have the decency to contact your patients when there is a schedule change. Lucky for us, and them, we are able to make her newly scheduled appointment without it interfering with work.

This was during our photo session. We had to take what we could get.



Tillman also decided she would start crawling today! She's been mobile in other ways: rolling, scooting, etc., but today she really and truly crawled a few times for us. She's not an expert yet, but I'm sure that's just around the corner. Here are 2 videos of her big debut! :)
