Weekly Update

Remember how I told you that Tenley started to walk last Sunday?!

Well, they say it isn't official until it is documented. So I took pictures, of course...

...and video to prove it!!

(She took 20 some steps there!! One proud Momma right here!!)

After all that walking Tenley and Daddy were exhausted and needed a break:

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BABY IS WALKING!!

She is still crawling as her main means of getting around, but now she walks without us even telling her to and she is getting better each day! It's amazing and fun to watch her learn. It's also funny to see how proud she gets of herself; she is just too cute.

After her walking skills took off, we went to the pumpkin patch the following day where baby girl continued to walk up a storm!

I used to think that Tenley was a maniac before, but now she is even more crazy! She is always on the go so I can never seem to get this kid fully dressed...

She only takes quick breaks for things that she wants to do, of course:

She can now walk around on the tile and likes to play peek-a-boo behind the walls:

She is going through thee most annoying phase where she will only stand in the bath tub; which makes bath time SUPER hard when I'm by myself. Walking has really opened a can of worms for bath time, but lets hope it's just a phase. In the meantime, I'll make due with bathing her standing up:

Poor thing is getting a bunchhhh of teeth and we've had a rough couple of nights trying to rock her to sleep. Luckily, Tenley has always been the type to just nurse in the middle of the night and fall back to sleep (if she even wakes up), but for the first time EVER we experienced 2 long and exhausting hours of screaming in the middle of the night. After those 2 hours she slept for 2 hours and woke up at 6 am. It was rough, but I am so fortunate that Ed is such a present father. A lot of guys would sleep through the 2 hours of screaming or just ignore it, but there he was tapping my shoulder offering to take over after I couldn't calm her down. We take turns so we don't lose it. We're a team and that's why I love him. He is so patient with Tenley and will never complain about helping out. He didn't mind rocking her at night one bit and I think he liked the extra cuddles he got from our typically not-so-cuddly baby girl:

Since our friends, The Robbins, were also up early due to lame teething issues we met up for breakfast at The Sunset Cafe; which was delish! Tenley's handsome boyfriend, Conrad, even shared his Mickey Mouse pancakes with her so she forgot allll about her aching gums. After our scrumptious breakfast T immediately passed out in the car:

During the past few weeks Tenley has transitioned back into a Daddy's girl and will NOT let him leave her sight. She screams, crys, and grabs for him when he tries to leave the room:

(Sweetest thing EVER.)

The next day we went to Sofia's FIRST birthday party where T continued to remain close to Daddy (she has to get in extra cuddles when she can). She also stole Daddy's cantaloupe and loveddd it:

When it was time for Sofia to smash her cake she wasn't too sure about it...

...so Karina picked Tenley up to give her some encouragement:

...and Sofia, being the sweetie that she is, shared her icing with T:

...then she chowed down and went on a sugar high:

I can't believe Sofia will be 1 on the 16th! It seems like just yesterday Karina and I were in our HypnoBirthing class and now we have become so close! What a fun birthday party for the little munch! I just love that lil' girl.

Until next week! :)
