1/2 or .5

Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday I was checking into the hospital eagerly awaiting the arrival of our little princess... That was 6 months ago! WOW!!

Tinsley has done so much in her short little life. She has attended 2 Rangers games, the Colonial, Church, Concerts in the Gardens, NRH20, she has been on channel 5, participated in the March of Dimes, witnessed the Mavs win a championship, attempted to swim in the pool, shopped till she dropped on many weekends and has had play dates with her new friends. Recently she was sick and had her first trip the the urgent care clinic, thankfully she had a speedy recovery! I am sure I am forgetting some things, but she has had some fun in her 6 months of life and I can only imagine the things we have to look forward to. I am so happy we get to experience life again thru her eyes, she lights up at the simple things and smiles at nothing. She makes my days so much brighter and my nights longer.

Since our last post she has gotten her "crown" to help correct the flat spot on the back of her head. It bothered her the first few nights but she is now used to it and could care less about it being on or off. Here are some pictures of our latest outings.

Sweet Baby!!

I think I may have the sweetest baby ever! She wakes up in the best mood and smiles at me as soon as she can see me over her crib, when we walk around the house she always hold on to my shirt and "kisses" my shoulder. No matter who is holding her or what she is doing as soon as she sees me and I tell her Hello she has the biggest smile on her face. I know a lot of babies do this but it makes me feel so special!!

Tinsley has started sitting up on her own, tripod style mostly. She grabs her toys with her hands and then immediately puts them in her mouth! She has started holding her own bottle, it works out about half the time! She has been eating cereal and just started eating stage 1 baby foods, so far she likes squash and sweet potatoes... those are the only two things she has tries though. I am hoping this is going to mean she will be a good eater!! I have a friend that just started making her own baby food and I am thinking I am going to do the same! Here is a picture of her first taste of cereal!


Tinsley has also become an avid sports fan thinks to her dad! We went to our first Family Rangers game and Tinsley loved it!! She has an outfit for every team we watch! Here is a picture of her in her Mav's gear!


We also went to the Colonial this year on Saturday and she was really good!! We watched David Toms and his partner for a while and walked around the course. It was warm so we did not stay all day but we did have fun!! Here is a picture of the two of us waiting for the shuttle!

April 2011 Update and Pictures

Here are some pictures of Tinsley from April 2011

Rangers opening day was April 1st and she is ready to cheer them on!


First Trip to the Duck pong in Keller!


Tinsley likes to help mommy make Daddy cookies!


She also loves to help with Laundry!! Can you find the baby?

Picture Updates

She loves to play on her play mat and grab the toys and make them sing to her. She would play there all day if I let her.




Now that she is able to control her head we have been putting her in the jumperoo and she loves it! She bounces around, coos and smiles, and I don't mind letting her sit in there as long as she wants so her head will round out.





Her baby ear muffs came in last week!! We are now ready for Rangers games and Fireworks!!

3 Months

Time keeps passing me by and I can not find the time to update the blog. Lots of things have happened in a month. We have had a couple physical therapy appointments for Tinsley's head, the left side is flatter than the right side. She has a mild case of torticollis so we learned stretches and movements that will help loosen the muscle so she can have a full range of motion in her neck and head. I have been doing the exercises at home with her and she seems to be doing much better, and she now moves her head in both directions. We had a fun shopping trip with GG, Mi Mi and aunt Alesia, I got a new dress and Ethan got a new shirt. But for the first time we did not get anything for Tinsley, until GG and I went to TJ Maxx after we dropped off Alesia and MiMi. :) we could not resist!!

Here is Tinsley's 3 Month picture!



She loves sticking out her tongue and blowing bubbles.

2 Months!

Wow how time flies!!
Tinsley had her 2 month appointment on February 11th, she weighed in at 13lbs and 24 inches long! She has been growing and changing so much!! She smiles at us when we smile at her, she has found her thumb and she will almost turn over trying to get it when she is falling asleep! It is so cute!!



Ethan's mom watched Tinsley on Valentines evening so Ethan and I could have a nice dinner out! We went to have sushi and a drink then I talked Ethan into taking me to the new Kroger that just opened. I know it does not sound romantic, but I really wanted to go see the new store. There is a jewelry store, furniture store, and it is like a mini Target with a better grocery side!

One Month!

Time has been flying by and I can not seem to keep up with this blog!

Christmas was great and Tinsley got a lot of gifts from everyone but us... does that make me a bad parent? I was going to get her something small but we decided she would not remember and we just had our baby shower so she didn't need anything. I told people if they wanted to get her something get her diapers! LOL Ethan suggested we open her a savings account for Christmas that way we can say we did get her something, so we did!
Here is a picture of her with some of her gifts.



For New Years we went to our friends house and had dinner and played games then toasted with a glass of champagne. Tinsley did not make it to 12 but she did wake up just after and celebrated with a bottle! :)

Here is also a picture of her on January 9th her 1 month birthday!!


Sunday, January 9th it also snowed here. So Ethan and I took pictures of Tinsley in her "snow-bunny" outfit!
