Pumpkin Carving

Just in time for Halloween, Papa TT, Tigger, Tilly and I carved our pumpkins. Papa TT and I handled the knives; Tigger and Tilly helped with the markers.





Tigger decided he wanted his name on his pumpkin. It was kind of hard to carve but I think it turned out OK!

Just like Mama

Tilly is such the imitator - she grabbed my purse this morning and started 'carrying' it around. So cute!

Fire fighter!

I meant to post this last weekend but I'm a bit behind.

Last weekend we headed out to the volunteer fire department where Tigger had his 3rd birthday party. They were having an open house and it was quite a show! There were activities for the kids, a silent auction fundraiser, and an equipment demonstration that involved the fire truck ladder. The kids loved it!

One of the activities for the kids was to play fire fighter with an actual hose. Tigger was a bit shy with the fire fighter but with Papa TT's coaxing he wielded the hose like a pro! Guess what he's going to be for Halloween....

Checkups

Last week Tigger and Tilly both had checkups and they're both doing great. Tilly had her 18 month checkup and Tigger had his 3 year checkup. Here are their stats:

Tilly

• 31 1/4 inches tall
• 21.4 lbs
• 18 1/2 inches head circumference
  

Tigger

• 39 inches tall
• 31.6 lbs

To check his development in several areas (speech, etc), the doctor had a short conversation with Tigger. It was so cute - I don't think I'd ever heard him have a conversation with another adult. He's getting so big! Here was the exchange:

Doctor: Hi, what's your name?
Tigger: (points to Tilly) That's Samantha
Doctor: I know, but what's your name?
Tigger: Caleb
Doctor: And how old are you?
Tigger: (holds up three fingers)
Doctor: Are you a boy or a girl?
Tigger: A boy
Doctor: And who's your bestest friend?
Tigger: (points to Tilly) Samantha

Aww......

And here are the kids on the way home from the doctor. We stopped for a few minutes so they could play at the fountain in Dupont Circle. They ran around in circles and both managed to dip their hands in the water, getting their sleeves wet all the way up to their elbows!

Papa TT was getting Tilly ready for bed tonight and started playing with her. She loved it - watch her ask for more.

Fire Truck!

Tigger and Tilly were very cute on the fire truck the other day. They were actually riding on it together and when I got back from grabbing the camera, Tilly had gotten off:(

At the beginning of the video he says 'My brother gotta ride.' That's because before I started filming I asked Tilly if she was riding with her brother. Tigger gets his pronouns mixed up sometimes but he's very cute with the brother/sister thing.

And don't be concerned with the bandaid on Tigger's eye. He's obsessed with bandaids lately and demands them all the time. Nothing was actually wrong with him, I just gave in when he went digging in the drawer for them!
