half birthday!

I like half birthdays. Halfway from where you've been, halfway to another date on your life's timeline on the way to where you're going. Also, sometimes I use it as an excuse to do something special. For Tilly, 2 1/2 means candy for breakfast (before you judge- "candy" in our house is a Trader Joe's dried fruit strip/leather).

actually smiling with elephant!

Because I love some nostalgia...

perspective- 18mo

2 years- I cant believe how much her hair has grown in 6 months!

She is jumping on the bed, waving her blankets as flags (or "kites" as she says), yelling, "Let's Go Pirates!" Yes, Burgh Buccos Baseball fever infected our house!

Ruby slippers, gifted from Guncle Stefan when she was about 6 mo old- they finally fit! I taught her to click her heels, obviously.
