Happy Halloween!

Today has been a long and fun-filled day! We painted pumpkins with our friends, watched Halloween cartoons, ate Halloween treats and survived a few meltdowns! 
 


 


We were planning on putting on the girls' costumes and driving to visit Grandma and Grandpa Egg, but the girls were exhausted from all the festivities. This is as far as we got...

Whew! If holidays are already this action-packed, mommy is going to need more caffeine in the years to come!

Tinley 4 months

Once again, I am late to post Tinley's stats. She will be 5 months old this week, but I guess it is better late than never! 

Tinley's 4 Month Stats

Height- 24.5 inches (51st percentile)
Weight- 14 pounds (45th percentile)
Head- 16 inches (51st percentile)

I am pretty sure Tinley is smaller than Kyler was at this age. I would have to dig out Kyler's stats to be sure, but who has time for that? Tinley recently started wearing 6 month jammies. I know... How did THAT happen?

This little girl has been the biggest surprise from day 1! Finding out I was pregnant with her was probably the biggest surprise of my life! The insanely quick labor I had with her was quite the surprise. Her beautiful dark hair was unexpected. Her colicky craziness was a not-so-great surprise. But the best surprise of all has been this little girl's feisty personality.


Tinley is one funny little girl. She can make your ears ring when she's mad, or when she is excited. The sounds that come out of this little girl... It is unreal! She is absolutely in love with her big sister. Seriously, she watches her every move. And if Kyler is within reaching distance, Tinley grabs her and tries to chew on her. I see a great friendship in their future (and gray hairs for mommy).




Tinley is in her crib full-time now! Well, some mornings she cuddles with mommy until big sissy wakes up, but we moved the swing to the basement- so we aren't tempted to put her in there in the middle of the night (ya know, when crib training takes a back seat to just a little bit of sleep).  Tinley also seems to have learned her napping habits from her big sis. We are working on that! Fingers crossed we get her on a schedule earlier than we did with Ky!




We love our little Tinley (TT, Tinny, Rinny) more every minute! I can't wait to watch her grow and play with her big sister! You have been a wild ride so far, Miss Tinley Rae! We wouldn't have it any other way!  We love you to pieces!

Fall Festivities

It seems summer is FINALLY over! We have packed lots of fun fall activities into the last week.

First, we were off to the pumpkin patch/apple orchard/the coolest place ever for all things fall fun!

The next day we carved pumpkins and ate caramel apples. By that, I mean mommy and daddy carved pumpkins and Kyler licked the caramel off the apples, dropped stuff into the pumpkins and yelled when she couldn't get them out.  Sounds like a party, right?

Peyton Manning has the cutest little fans! We watched him make football history this weekend. Tinley was quite excited!
 We are ready for Halloween and the kickoff of the holiday season! This time of year is so much more fun when you have kiddos to celebrate with!
