Swim Lessons, Air Show and Yard Work

Since Tigger likes to swim so much, Papa Tigger and I decided to enroll him in swimming classes this summer. The classes are a combination of fun and safety; the first class was this past Saturday and Tigger did great!

Here he is getting started with Papa Tigger; you'll notice that he grabs a toy duck, which he doesn't let go of the entire time...








On Sunday, Tigger had even more fun at the air show with Papa Tigger. Their father/son excursion also gave me and Tilly some time to catch up on nap time!

Wearing his ear plugs like a good boy...

...and eating some sugary goodness as a snack. He's so intent on eating, he's oblivious to the planes flying by!




All gone!!


Later that day, we made a quick trip to Home Depot to get some mulch. Papa Tigger and I wanted to clean up our yard a little bit. Tigger was such a help - pushing the cart and helping us load the car.



Tigger then helped Papa Tigger spread the mulch. He got very dirty, but luckily it was bath night! I was inside with Tilly and when I saw Tigger, I asked him how he got so dirty. He pointed at Papa Tigger and said 'Dada.' No joke!

Tilly's First Bath

Last week, Papa TT and I gave Tilly her first bath. As expected, she wasn't a big fan. It was pretty quick - her umbilical cord hadn't healed yet so it was really just a sponge bath.




All clean (but still crying)!

Daddy Got a New Camera!

Doc Appts

We had a heck of a day at the docs today. Tigger went to the ENT for a check of his ears, and we had the two week check up for Tilly. All is well!

Tigger's ears are clear - no tubes needed!

Tilly is growing like a weed - added an inch in length (to 20.5 inches), and more weight, to 7 lbs. 1/2 oz. Her head is now 13 7/8 inches. Weight and head circumference are 25% percentile; length is 50% percentile.

Mama and Papa TT are hanging in there. Tilly has decided 12 - 5a is her "awake" time. We will break her of that!

Tigger is adjusting well - thankfully sleeping through Tilly's awake time. He even tries to touch her once in a while!

Hanging Out

As we're settling into life as a bigger family, we're learning to enjoy just hanging out with each other. Tilly especially likes hanging out on Papa TT's chest:

Or in his arms:



Or in the bouncy:

At one point, we had a bit of a diaper mishap and ended up with 'plumber pants.' Because of her umbilical cord, we have to fold the diaper down in the front and it results in a less than ideal fit!

Not to be outdone, Tigger likes to hang out too. Here he is reading the Sunday paper with Papa TT. No joke, he did this all by himself - he crawled up there, sat next to Papa TT and grabbed some of the paper. What a great imitator!

He also enjoys jamming on the 'piano':
