Just a Heads Up:
Prepare for total picture overload!! It was a busyyy week...
Tenley had her monthly wellness check on Monday.
She was fascinated by the color on the walls and was a good girl while she got a shot.
Her appointment went good and she now weighs 12 pounds 10.4 ounces and is 23 inches long. She is in the 97th percentile for weight and height. Her weight sounds scary to me, but the pediatrician said her weight is normal for her height and for being breast fed. I get kind of sad when I think of her weight because I feel like she bypassed the newborn stage and that I have always had a 4 month old, but I sure do love her chunkiness and I'll appreciate her height when she's the next Gisele Bundchen and married to the Tom Brady of 2030. She is now able to get nightly baths so we started giving her a bath at 7 pm every night. She has started to love bath time; which is great because that means she won't be the smelly kid in school. (Score!)
She also sports what we call "jammy jams" on a nightly basis.
She also starting smiling even more in her sleep:
(wait for the BIG smile at the end!)
She is starting to get such a cute lil' personality and is such a D.I.V.A.. She loves getting her picture taken (again... the next Gisele) so I take lots of pictures throughout the day so Ed doesn't miss a thing.
(This is why I've been begging Ed for a professional camera... PLEASSSSE Ed!!)
(Daddy Thinks I'm Purrrfect)
Tenley is getting so good at lifting her head and even trying to roll on her side. I truly believe it's because I do tummy time with her everyday. She loves laying there and listening to her monkey that plays music. The one day we did tummy time so long that she passed out:
I've been pumping more so that Ed can feed Tenley more often. Feeding your baby is such an amazing bonding experience so I absolutely love to watch Ed get that "feeling" too. Every time he feeds her she always seems to pass out so that's an extra bonus!
Passed out after her feeding with Daddy... she lovessss the changing table!
The week days by myself are pretty exhausting to say the least. My weeks are killer without having family around to help... I can't just call my mom to come over when I've had a rough day and no one can help during the day when all I want to do is shower or even if I just want an hour to myself. Days when all she wants is to be held is when I wish I had a clone so Kelli #2 could give my weak arms a break. I don't get a break from 5:30 am to 4 pm so I have grown to appreciate Eddie SO much more. It is sooooo unbelievably nice to have a husband that comes home from work and wants to change her diaper, help with her bath, put her to sleep, etc. Seeing Eddie care for Tenley truly warms my heart and makes him 3958745845233x's more attractive. I just love my hott handsome hub.
Speaking of rough days... Friday was a doozy! Tenley woke up Friday morning on a mission - to pee and poop on me alllll day. She had four wardrobe changes...

Wardrobe Change #4:
It was a rough day, but at least we had a good night with the Espejos and Court gave our arms a break for awhile. Even Grace tried to help out with Tenley:
I look forward to the weekends all week so I was excited when I woke up to this on Saturday:
(I love this pic because I can totally see the resemblance here!)
And since I had time to do some laundry, we gave one of the outfits that Tenley blew out the day before another shot. T sported her My Heart Belongs To Daddy outfit and played around the house.
Then we went to the Espejos for fight night.
T was so tired from Saturday night that she let me have a litle fun with her...
I told you she loves getting her picture taken!
We decided to take Tenley to Town Square to get her picture taken with Santa. She had the cutest gingerbread girl outfit (red tutu and all) so I was super exited!
Turns out she LOVES Santa and her loves her, too. (I mean, how could you not love her?!) He held her for a good 10 minutes and cuddled her. She was completely calm in his big arms and when Ed took her from him she cried! Baby girl realllly loved him. Looks like she'll be getting lots of presents from Santy this year!
Needless to say, this week really wore our sweet lil' gingerbread girl out!
Until next week...
she is PRECIOUS!
