I Can Dream...

Grandma and Grandpa D came to visit and little T was excited:

T showed them how she plays tug-of-war with Pearl and even learned how to growl in the process:

We played outside:

T-bird learned how to make the 'click' noise for Grandma and Grandpa and continued to practice growling:

Grammy and Gramps insisted on taking T to Toys R Us for a little shopping spree and there's no denying that this chick is my daughter... just look at her shopping:


T and Grammy loaded up the cart with goodies:

When we got home she played with all of her new toys:


Since one of her new toys was an awesome wagon, the whole next day was full of wagon rides courtesy of Grammy and Gramps doing the pulling:

Tenley absolutely loved this thing!!

Grammy was thrilled to get to feed Tenley bear some pears for lunch:

Later that afternoon we tested out another totally rad gift from Grammy and Gramps - Tenley's new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Patio Furniture:

(How ridiculously cute is that?!?!)

Then we went to the best park in town - Reunion Park - for some fun!



Ed and I snuck away to be kids for a bit:



Then Ed dipped T's piggies in the splash pad:

(LOVE THIS!! Silly Ed didn't test the water and it was ice cold!! Poor T... Hahaha!!)

We had the fam over for dinner...

and Tenley did lots of entertaining:


T splashed around in her baby pool with her grandparents:






Gosh... I don't even know how to express how nice and fun this week was!! I was able to go to the gym 3 times and didn't have to worry about bringing Tenley to child care. Eddie and I were able to act like adults and go to dinner with our friends AND have drinks!! We had our very first night that we didn't have to give Tenley a bath and put her to sleep. (Like, holy smokes was that nice!!) Although she decided that she was no longer going to take a bottle, my mother-in-law still put her to sleep and I wasn't even worried while being out for the night. I can't even explain how good those sangrias and beers with my hubby and best friends tasted - the best EVER! It was just so nice to have help and even to be able shower when I wanted to. Having a baby when your entire family lives so far is very challenging so when they are in town you never want to see them leave. I'm going to miss them so much!! When they come back in July, they will be here for the birth of our newest family member - Caprie. Maybe this will make them move here. I don't know, just maybe. I can dream, right?! ;)

Miss you guys already!! <3

Weekly Update

With how busy we've been Tenley finally made it in to the pediatrician for her 6 month wellness check and every time we go Tenley demolishes the paper I lay her on...


...she's crazyyyy! 

Baby weighed 19 lbs and 14 ozs and was 27.5 inches long. She got another round of shots and for the first time she took them like a champ! She cried when they pinched her leg the second time, but stopped as soon as I picked her up and I was able to calm her down without even nursing her. I just put her in her car seat and we were on our way. I was soooo proud of her! She didn't even fuss for the entire week like all the times before. BIG PROGRESS people! 

Since we were in Ohio last week and I missed the birth of baby Charley I went to visit her on Monday. While I held the little one, Tenley and Grace played so nicely together:
(Congrats to the Espejos on another beautiful girl!)

When we got home, T was playing and it sounded like she said her first cuss word!
Listen for the, "Ohhh shit" around the 50 second mark:

T played with her second favorite dude in her life... Mickey Mouse:

Our other baby girl, Pearl, turned 8 years old!! 
Tenley gave Pearl extra love and tried to share her toys:

When Daddy got home we celebrated Pearlita's birthday outside:


Tenley was fascinated with the turf:



On Thursday, Tenley was my date to Kasie and Jeremy's rehearsal dinner since Eddie had school. I got her all dolled up and she even wore fancy shoes. Silly girl kept trying to eat her shoes... She would get her foot in her mouth then face plant. She was sooo in love with her fancy silver shoes! She was too funny.



The next day was finally the WEDDING we've all been talking about!!!!

We spent Saturday relaxing around the house and playing with T:

I made homemade acorn squash and Daddy introduced that to Tenley:







Pearl got groomed and looked all fancy...

...while Tenley partied naked!

To cap off the busy week, I celebrated my first actual Mother's Day!

Until next week! :)
