Happy Thanksgiving!!

Papa Tigger, Tigger and I just got back from spending Thanksgiving at G-Ma and G-Pa T's. We had a great time and the food was fantastic! We had a great big turkey along with cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, mustard green beans, homemade gravy and stuffing (I'm sure I'm forgetting somthing!). Here's the beautiful bird before...

...and after. We picked it clean!

Tigger had fun eating with us at the gorgeous table G-Ma T set. It was a fun meal with G-Ma T, G-Pa T, Aunt Meghan, Meghan's boyfriend Todd and family friends Clint and Katherine. Here's Tigger at the table (G-Pa T was asking who wanted dessert, hence Papa Tigger's raised hand in the picture).

There was lots of play time for Tigger.

In this picture he's waving to his Auntie Meghan:

Tigger has really taken to walking; here he is in the kitchen on Thankgiving.

He also had fun playing 'eyebrows' with G-Pa T. G-Pa T was trying to teach him to raise his eyebrows. Tigger tried, but it ended up being a long blink. He tried!

One morning, Tigger hung out on the deck with Papa Tigger. I got some cute pictures as Tigger was saying hi through the sliding glass door.

Later that day, we went out on the dock. First, a milk break.

Getting buttoned up because it got cold; it's hard to tell, but Tigger is leaning against Papa Tigger. He's all about standing now!

Hanging out on the boat:

(had to put the hat on...)

Finally, it was time to head home. Aunt Meghan and I started packing up leftovers to take home (they were so yummy!). Tigger had fun playing with the Glad packaging - it doesn't take much sometimes!



On the car ride home, we used a recently discovered trick to keep Tigger occupied - give him a magazine. Here is what he did to Fortune:

All in all, it was a great weekend!

He's so darn cute!

So this post is pretty much about the random cute things Tigger does.


First, he loves our computers. We bought him his own toy computer, which he likes, but it doesn't compare to the real thing. When we're really desperate (and he's really fussy), we open Word and let him pound on the keyboard. He's pretty good - he even managed to create a footer one day!

He's also starting to crusie a lot more. He pulls himself up on practically every piece of furniture we have. The other day he decided to explore our bookshelf (he has his own, but I guess he figured he's graduated to Mommy and Daddy books).

And finally, here he is enjoying his first cookie. It was not my idea.

Cruising in Ikea

A pic of Tigger enjoying Ikea. (Testing a new iPhone app too.)

Tigger's 1st Steps!

Tigger took his first unassisted steps yesterday! We were out and about at Ikea - I think the chaos of the store distracted him...

Hint: Read the Shirt

Notice anything?

How about right-side up?

Yup, Tigger is gonna be a big brother! For those of you out there that have not yet received an excited phone call from G-Ma T, we are pregnant again!

Introducing Tilly (as in, "damn, we are fertile - y)!

Tilly is due May 2nd. Mama TT (TT = "Tigger and Tilly") and baby-to-be are doing well. More to come...

Quick Post

Papa Tigger and I haven't posted in over a week (well, Papa Tigger hasn't posted in a REALLY long time), so I wanted to throw up a couple of cute pictures to tide you over until our next post.

Tigger is starting to love crawling in, over and under things. Here he his under our desk, saying hi to Papa Tigger:

And enjoying some play time under the kitchen counter:

A Week of Halloween Fun

This week, Tigger's day care had a full week of festivities planned for Halloween! Each day, Tigger was supposed to dress up based on a different theme:


Monday was pajama day. We didn't think to take the picture until we'd already put his coat on, but trust us, he had his full PJ set on!


Tuesday was funny hat day. The hat really only lasted about 2 seconds - long enough for me to take a picture.

Wednesday was mismatch day (i.e. stripes and polka dots). I'm sorry, but I don't have any obnoxious clothes for my kid!! He doesn't own any polka dots. I tried - I really tried, but all of his pants are neutral - nothing clashes with them!

Thursday was orange and black day:

And Friday was costume day! We got Tigger in his costume (yes, Tigger was Tigger this year), then headed to daycare where they were planning a 'costume parade' around the block.

He played for a few minutes when we got there.

Then was strapped in and ready to go!

Yes, I was on the phone for the beginning of the parade. It was Friday morning and I had a conference call!


He looked a little bored (or tired) at one point!



Papa Tigger had to get on a conference call too!





On Halloween, we put Tigger in his costume again and headed to the neighbor's for some trick-or-treating.



Here we go!
Our neighbor Chris really got into the Halloween spirit!


Tigger loved the glasses!

Tigger was a little too shy to help himself to the candy, so Papa Tigger helped him.

After a few stops, we headed back home and put Tigger to bed. All in all, it was a fun and festive week!
