Sniff Sniff...

If you know anything about me and my family...you know we LOVE birthdays. We don't just have birthDAYs...we have birthday WEEKS! Well, Tinley turns one on December 20th...sniff...sniff. I can't believe she is already going to be ONE! This is crazy...that I almost have a one year old. Anyway, this week I had her invitations designed, ordered, and printed. They will be in the mail at the end of this week...which this is real impressive that I have done them ON TIME! YAY! I took some pictures of her for the invitation...and thought she looks so cute I wanted to share them.

My sweet angel face...beautiful blue eyes like her Daddy.

 Such a little ham...

 I love this smile...she crinkles her nose. I love it!

Our baby girl is getting so big...

Quack Quack

For Tinley's first Halloween...we decided to have her be a duck! Chris was surprised I didn't want her to be something PINK...but I thought this duck was cute to put on her. We had so much fun this past week with Halloween.

Our duck sitting with her matching one tooth pumpkin! I had to put one of her bows on the top...if not...she looked SO MUCH like Chris and his baby pictures. Had to make sure everyone knew she was a girl duck. LOL....

 Her handsome Daddy was so happy at the Fall Festival, she did not want to be held. She wanted to walk around like a big girl. She was doing so good with holding on to just one hand...

 Yep...we even walked up to houses to get candy...

 All the cousins were there too...River, Ryder, Ridge...and the only girl....Tin Tin. The boys call her Tin Tin. :)

Such a fun night with the babies first Halloween...until next year...

Ouch!

According to our Dr. George...Tinley's doctor...she is trying to teeth about 5 to 7 teeth right now...ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!! So we are back to being up every night at 4am!!!! One night last week...she was up at 3am...screaming...we tried everything...medicine...teething rings...wash cloths...Oral Gel...rocking...EVERYTHING. But nothing worked...

Finally...about 5:30...here she was...sound asleep!

Don't ask about where her PJ's are...it was one of those nights...believe me...LOL!

 But it was too late for Chris and I to go back to sleep...it was time to get up for us.

We were running on 'E' that day...another day for no make that's for sure! 

Save the Ta-Ta's!!!

Another new tradition that I have started with Tinley is going to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Run/Walk. I have always wanted to do this...since my grandmother, Kepi...had breast cancer, but never have. Tinley and I went and had such a great time! We will for sure be going back next year...with a group of more girls! :)

Starting the day all bundled up...and of course with our BIG pink bow...

 There were tons of people there...can you imagine the money that was raised...it was awesome!

 Tinley started to melt towards the end...so it was time to go...

 Such a fun day with my sweet angel face...

I love finding new traditions to do with her....

Pumpkin Patch...

Since Tinley is now here...I am ALL about coming up with our own family traditions. Some of them we already do as a family with our other two "kids"...Callie and Teague...but we have made some new ones too. One new tradition we now have is go find a pumpkin in a pumpkin patch. The first pumpkin patch trip did not go as I had planned....

At first we were okay...no smiles though...had to let Mommy and Daddy know we were not in a good mood about doing this...LOL...

  And then when we put Tinley in or around some hay...she had a FIT!...

 The teacher in me started to come out...we have a major sensory issue with HAY!!!.... :)

 But of course the Mommy makes everything better...

Such a fun day as a family at our first pumplin patch experience!

Goin'...Goin'...Goin'

Look who is using some help to walk like a big girl...

We have a DANCER!!! YAY!!!

Tinley loves to dance...she got this from me...I have danced with her...for her...around the house...with her Daddy...we dance ALL THE TIME. Now she is starting to...it is the CUTEST and SWEETEST thing ALIVE! She is dancing every where. In the kitchen...to the TV...in the bathtub...EVERY WHERE. It warms our hearts every time we see it.

10 months...ready or not...here she comes!

Our Tinley Kay Ann is already 10 months old...I can't believe it! This month has FLOWN by...don't know if it is because all the seasonal changes and all us being sick...or all the weekends with things going on. I can't believe she is 10 months old...I remember this time last year we were painting her nursery!

Tinley Kay Ann...your Mommy and Daddy love you so much. You light up everyone's day. You look so much like your Daddy...but this month people have thought you are starting to look like your Mommy. YAY! We love you more than you will every know Baby girl! Happy 10 months!

The fun has begun...

Since Tinley's first tooth has finally greeted us...we have started a new part of our routine...BRUSHING TEETH! It is so funny to see her facial expressions...she is still not sure what we are doing! :)

 

Are we almost done with this Mommy?

We are having so much fun with our Tinley girl.....

It's happening....

You can almost see her little baby tooth coming through her gums.....! :)
