Santa Lilah of les Tigres

sometimes it's funny to tie your kid up in blankets.

ah, wee santa lilah of les tigres. never to be found without her rockstar sunglasses.

tongue clicking?!

Lilah came home from her Papa Brian's today and was able to do this.

lilah, daddy, and louis theroux

we love louis.

louis, however, does not love the rAts.

and thus, there will be no dog like louis in our permanent possession for a while.

too bad, because he and lilah were very good with each other.

back home in glasgow, out with ashley and baby jackhammond

this ice-cream and plum break took place in the Glasgow Street School which is on the South Side of the city. there was an exhibit of anamatronic toys on and we took a ride on the Tube down to check it out. it was amazing.

and then, while snacking, lilah, as per usual, proceeded to steal all of the food Ashley had brought with her for baby Jack. and her ice cream.
