Something tells me we're not quite ready to potty train.

springtime in the south.

Last weekend, we were listening to Christmas music while decorating the Christmas tree. (Specifically, Chris Tomlin's Christmas CD. So good, FYI)

I turned around to grab some ornaments, and when I looked over at Avery this is what I saw:

Are you kidding me with that?

Somebody's Daddy is a worship pastor.

Oh, my heart...it just hurts with love for her sometimes...

Me: Hey, Avery. What'cha doin'?

Avery: Playing with my puppy.

Niiiice.

I swear she has a room full of toys.
Really.

Me: Hey Dave, will you hand me the camera?
David: Everything's a blog post to you, Tillman.
Me: yep.

I just realized that this post doesn't even kind of resemble a Wordless Wednesday post. Not even an ALMOST Wordless Wednesday Post.

*edited to add*
I should probably say that this picture was taken BEFORE I dumped the water. and the sand. ewww.

Avery doing her best impression of...

Soothie paci's are sooo five minutes ago, Mom.

*sniff*

First Avery graduates to a "Big Girl Mattress", now Charlie graduates to a new paci.
I feel like next week they'll be asking me to borrow the car to go to the mall...

David and his little Doppleganger (I told you I'd find a way to use that word).

Here at the Tillman House, we like to shop in style.

This picture was taken after Avery announced, "Mommy. My baby needs milk."

Oh goodness. I hope her baby doesn't decide to "need milk" at church.
or at the doctor's office.
or the grocery store.
or anywhere that is NOT our house...
Maybe I need to make a "hooter hider junior" in addition to the one I make for myself!

Niiiiice.

Avery had her toenails painted for the first time last weekend. She is obsessed with them. She's constantly taking her shoes off to admire the beauty. Everywhere we go. Seriously.

I purposely kept from painting her toes until she was past 2 because I knew she would do this. She is, in fact, my daughter and a VERY girly little girl.

I guess I was worried that she would insist that her toenails always be freshly painted and thought that it may be a little strange for a young toddler to have painted toenails all the time. Maybe I was overthinking it, but that's what was going on in my head.

She adores her pretty toes!

By the way - check out the super cool p.j.'s. that Avery's rockin'.
I've officially given in to commercialism.
Pitiful.

This is Avery and her cousins showing off their Christmas craft. Isn't it too cute? I just had to share...

Just like mommy!

This is from our recent trip to the zoo...
It was just too funny not to add it.

Question: What do you do when your mommy is pregnant and grouchy?

Answer: You go to your Happy Place.

I LOVE this picture! It's from our morning outing to the Zoo last week with our friends Faith and Kris. The girls decided that they wanted to hold hands all on their own. You should have seen Kris and me scramble to get pictures of the preciousness! Mine were all terrible, so I stole this one from Kris' website... I'm not ashamed either. So there.

Here's another one of the girls actually sitting next to each other without (gasp!) moving:

Notice that there's no blurriness in this picture. Getting this shot was lots of work for Kris and me. The two-year-old stillness lasted for approximately 2.4 seconds and involved some serious begging and bribery. It cost me the promise of one "lellow" starburst, a bite of my carefully rationed cheese stick (which she promptly spit out), a few sips of my diet coke,

...and what was left of my dignity.

Worth it. Totally.

Can you see now why I can't title this post as "Wordless Wednesday"? Chattiness has always been my downfall.
Sigh.

While drying my hair the other day, I noticed that the house was unusually quiet. After a little investigation, this is what I discovered:


Thankfully, I discovered the little stinker before things got ugly.

Lesson of the day: Silence can be deadly if you are a MAC.

Oh, hey Mommy! I'm just doing a little creative art here on the toilet.
And my face.
And the wall.

(I'm thinking about turning this idea in to The Crafty Crow. I'm pretty sure it's a brilliant idea. What do you think?)
