Australia

Finally, some shots from Australia. We were there for a big chunk of January. Tilly was a hit with her great-grandmother, Japanese tourists, and everyone else she ran in to.

A Few More From Christmas

Tilly enjoyed her first Christmas. She got equal parts (1) plastic stuff that I will either spend the next year tripping on or sequester and lock away in a room away from the dog and (2) love. We love her so much. I don't know what I did to deserve such a perfect and beautiful little girl.

A Few From Christmas

We got a ton of snow around Christmas Day. Tilly loved it, like the good little Australian-Minnesotan-American that she is.

Elf

Most fantastic baby in the history of DNA. I don't know what I did to get this lucky.

Leaves

We raked up the leaves in the front yard this weekend. Tilly was hanging out with us, bouncing in her chair, laughing at Pepe our cat as he laid around watching us. She's such a sweet, good kid...she likes trees, dogs, and being outside.

Sushi

We took Tilly to Sakura the other night. She liked the rice, but we didn't try anything more exotic than that with her this time. She was the most popular guest in the house, every wait staff had to come and say hi to her.

All Hallows Eve

Sorry it's been a while since the last post. Tilly had several costume changes yesterday for Halloween. She went to a party at her Uncle Phil's new house, and then stayed over night with her grandma Madeleine so Emma and I could go to the neighborhood party.

As our neighbor Beth says, "Tilly's good for the soul."

Not for the Squeamish...

I tried to fire up the bubbles enough so the emphasis would be on Tilly, not me.

She's so incredibly adorable.

She Daisy

We had a little photo shoot this evening. Here's Tilly in all her girly, pink, flowery, sugary, over-the-top wonderfulness.

Thank God she looks like Emma...if she'd got my looks, not sure that daisy on the headband would be such a winning look.

Big Easy

We were in New Orleans last weekend, where I was photographing a wedding. We had ample time to go exploring. Needless to say, the food and drink were phenomenal. Everyone loved Tilly...she stopped people in the street, left and right, who had to say hi to the adorable little northern girl.

We had a blast...we'd go back.
