10 MONTHS!

Our baby girl turned 10 months yesterday March 13, 2012. I cant believe she is almost 1. Where has the time gone? Tinley is such a sweet girl. She is very gentle and soft spoken. She has such a little voice. She loves to say "Ba Ba Ba Ba". I try to get her to say "Ma Ma" but it doesn't work. She did say it one time while she was eating but I think it was just because she was hungry. Tinley hardly cries. The only time she does is when she is hungry. She is an awesome sleeper, sleeping 9 - 10 hrs each night. When she is tired we can put her in her bed and she will sooth herself to sleep (which usually doesn't take but 2 minutes). She has two teeth on the bottom front. Some of her favorite foods are... Pears & Squash, anything with apples, Pear/Cinnamon/Oatmeal, Rice cereal, Veggies & Mac N Cheese, Turkey & Sweet Potatoes dinner. Tinley also loves her sippy cup of water. She hasn't really gotten the whole sucking the water out but she likes to bite the top so the water will dribble out. She also loves her Gerber rice puffs and yogurt bites. She loves ice cream too (she's her daddy's girl). Tinley doesn't really crawl... she Army Crawls. She gets on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth but she just cant seam to make her hand and knees move step by step. She just falls on her tummy and Army Crawls. It is so cute. She tries so hard. She gets her feet going and pulls her body forward with her right arm. When she is tired of that she lays on her tummy with her hands and feet in the air and waves them wild. It kinda looks like she is swimming. Maybe we have a future swimmer on our hands. Tinley loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with her brother. She LOVES her brother too. She follows him everywhere and he is so good with her, making sure she has her blanket and that there is nothing on the ground that is small and can put in her mouth, and he waits patiently for her to wake up every morning and make noises in the monitor so he can play with her. A few weeks ago we were able to put a barrette in her hair for the first time. Not much hair but just enough for a cute barrette. Tinley loves to rub her hands on her Daddy's whiskers while he feeds her a bottle and she loves to be close to Mom. I get home from work and she doesn't ever want to leave my side. I just am so in love with her!

We love you so much Tinley Girl!
Your Daddy's Princess and Momma's Pretty Girl!
