Tenley Monthly: 5

Age:  5 Months
Weight:  17lbs 1oz
Length:  26in

Milestones:  Rolls over, and then just keeps rolling all the way across the room.  She started cereal.  She didn't know what to think about it at first, but quickly grew to love it. 

Sleep:  Sleeping through the night. Mommy and Daddy really like this.  She goes to bed around 9:30pm and sleeps until 8:00am.  

Best Moment:    Being able to get her off the Nutramigen formula.  Not only was that stuff VERY expensive, it was smelly and stained everything in sight.

Things I want to remember:  How much she loves to interact with Cooper.  She is always watching what he's doing an trying to follow him around, with her eyes that is.  Before we know it, she will be crawling after him.

Tenley Monthly: 4

Age:  4 Months
Weight:  13lbs 10oz
Length:  25 1/4in

Milestones:  Her neck is so strong.  She finally enjoys tummy time.  She also enjoys her jumperoo.  She would spend hours in there if we let her. 

Sleep:  She is still sleeping through the night.  She will wake up on occasion to eat, but its just during growth spurts.

Best Moment:  Seeing her fall asleep in random places.  She always has to see what's going on around her, so for her to fall asleep in the middle of everything is a rarity. 

Health:  Such a healthy kid.   She's had her fair share of colds already, but still has yet to be on any medicine (besides her reflux meds). 

Things I want to remember:  Her first trip to Wisconsin for Christmas.  It took a ton of planning to make sure we had everything along, but it went pretty well.   A house full of family that loved up on the babies (Tenley & Dierks) was so much fun.

2014 Annual Family Review

Wow - this past year really got away from me.   With a new baby, I didn't have much extra time to get the letter out this year.  I put the letter up on Facebook for all to see.  I promise I will get it mailed out again next year.

Tenley Monthly: 3

Age:  3 Months
Weight:  12lbs 10oz
Length:  24 1/4in

Milestones:  Turns to lay on her side to look around.  She had her first sleepover at Grandma and Papa's.  She also giggles.  I love baby giggles.

Sleep:  She is now sleeping through the night.  From 10pm to 5am. 

Best Moment:  Having her light up when I pick her up from daycare. 

Health:  She had her first cold.   Mommy brought her into the clinic to have her checked out, but she's totally fine.  It was something viral that just has to take its course.  

Things I want to remember:  Her Baptism.   Mommy & Daddy's friends, Brittiany and Nick Meyne are Tenley's Godparents.  We are all so excited for Brittiany and Nick as they are expecting as well!   Mommy wants Brittiany to have a little girl so both her and Tenley can grow up being friends like we were!

Baptism

Tenley's Baptism was a great day.  The weather was awesome and we had a great turnout.   The service went off without any hiccups.   Tenley did great in front of church.

After the service was over, we went back to our house and had a chili buffet. 

We are fortunate to have such a great group of friends and family.

Christmas 2014

Wow.  Christmas is always a whirlwind.  This year was pretty easy.  We went back and forth between our house and Papa Skinny & Grandma Julie's house. 

 

 

Opening presents at home from Mom & Dad.

 

 

Time to go to Grandma Julies & Papa Skinny to open some presents.

 

 

Back to our house to open our Christmas Eve boxes.  Each box has a pair of jammies, a movie, snacks and a book.

 

 

Santa came to our house!  Cooper got a bunch of Paw Patrol things.

 

 

Back to Grandma and Papa's for Christmas Day Dinner.
