Fourth of July!

This year we entered the Davis Fourth of July Bike Parade.  Matilda helped set up her patriotic wagon and waved flags to everyone watching.  It's a really short parade, lasting 3 blocks and ending up at the downtown city park.  We got there too late to enter the best decorations contest, but Tilly had a great time.  Afterward, we met up with Vivienne and Olivia and Tilly shared her wagon.  It was a very happy independence day!  "Read more" for the rest of the photos.

New Year

She didn't quite make it to midnight on her first New Year's, but we lit sparklers for her anyway.  Here's to a new year and learning new things.

Baby in a Christmas Box

We don't put baby in a corner, but we do put her in pumpkins and boxes.  Why?  Because for some reason it's really cute when babies sit in things.  "Read more" to see what we mean.  You're welcome.

First Christmas

Matilda got to enjoy multiple Christmases this year, and got way too many presents as a result.  Of course she was good at playing with paper and boxes, but she was actually pretty good at pulling things out of her stocking as well.  "Read more" for random pictures of Tilly celebrating Christmas.

Thanksgiving

Today we noticed Matilda sitting up in her play yard.  She's been able to sit on her own for awhile, but today she pushed up to sitting all by herself!  This came in handy as we were busy getting dinner ready.

Matilda then slept through her first thanksgiving meal, which gave us plenty of time to relax and enjoy it.  When she woke, she got to eat carrots, sweet potatoes, and of course turkey.  "Read more" below for more pictures of Tilly and her drumstick.

Halloween!

We were really excited for Halloween this year, because we found an awesome costume on sale.  Matilda went as the Very Hungry Caterpillar.  We were excited, because that was the theme of her baby shower (the caterpillar was made out of cupcakes and cookies!) and she loves her caterpillar toy.  Plus it was super cute.  She actually got to use her costume multiple times, going to various events.  For Halloween we just went trick-or-treating to the few neighbors we know (not for candy, just pictures).  Can't wait for next year!  Check out a few more pictures on the post page.

Happy 4th of July!

Matilda celebrated American independence the way we all should, by putting on her stars and stripes socks and playing with fire.  Vivienne wanted to join the festivities and brought mom and dad (Mark and Alicia) with her so we could toss some cornbags.  And, what do you do with babies while everybody's outside playing cornhole?  Strap them to your chest and let them play too, of course.  The babies slept through the entire game, but woke up just in time for some fireworks.  "Read more" below for the rest of the pictures.
