6 MONTHS OLD!

Happy 1/2 birthday Tenley!





It is so hard to believe she is already 6 months old!

Tenley is now 17lbs 11ozs and 25.5 inches long. She loves chewing everything, Sophie, playing with Hayden, rolling, sitting up by herself and giggling at funny things!
However the last month has been so fun and full of fun milestones!
She is rolling over consistently from back to front and back again. She is starting to get up on her knees when on her stomach so crawling is not far off. She is sitting up by herself mostly independently. She is starting to play with Hayden which is so fun to watch. She adores him and is always searching for him. She also loves his lego (don't worry it's duplo) and always wants to build with him.
Tenley cut her first tooth and surprisingly didn't make much fuss about it coming in. However, after we noticed it she spiked a little fever and wanted some extra loving!
Tenley  has now eaten rice and oatmeal cereal, pureed bananas and pureed sweet potatoes. She still isn't a great eater, fighting it quite a bit, but enjoys munching on the spoons. She has about five 6oz bottles a day and is strictly on formula still.
We made the switch to sleeping in her crib this month. I knew it was time when her leg got caught between the slats in her bassinet and she woke up screaming! She looks super tiny in her crib but is sleeping much more soundly in her room and usually gives us 10-12 hour stretches through the night! She is an AMAZING sleeper!
She is wearing 6-12 or some 9 month clothing. She is much pudgier than Hayden was, but will start to lean out once she gets crawling.
We are having so much fun watching her grow and can't wait to continue the journey!

Our first tooth! Super hard to see, only a tiny corner poking through right in the middle! Pretty red and swollen in the photo but you can see a tiny speck of white and it's there!

Back story: I set her down and she fell backwards and hit her head on the tray in the top right corner. So I moved her to this side and she grabbed on for dear life! Hilarious!

5 MONTHS OLD!


5 months!

It has gone by way too quickly!

Tenley has really grown this month! She is now 16.8lbs and 25 inches! She is talking lots, sitting up with assistance, rolling from back to tummy consistently, and loves to laugh and smile. She has acquired a taste for shiny jewellery (future boys beware), loves to put EVERYTHING in her mouth, and is drooling constantly! Hopefully teeth aren't far off!

December brought lots of Christmas themed activities and firsts! She met Santa, went and saw the lights, rode in the wagon while Daddy pulled her in the RC truck, had a great Christmas in Ontario and celebrated New Years in style!

She is such a happy baby who loves people! She is starting the imitation phase right now, so everything you do she tries to replicate! It is pretty cute!

We are so blessed to have her in our lives!
