Update


Well, I have the computer today for 8 WHOLE HOURS, and since Tenley has been napping for ONE WHOLE HOUR, I thought I might as well take advantage of how the stars have aligned for a new blogpost.

So many pictures, so little to say....which ends up perfect for me and the long-distant Aunts:











Tenley with her Grandparents and her bff cousin, Mckynlee
Our 4th of July family picture. Brandon was on a walk with his sister, and I knew that if I waited any longer we would be dipping into T's bedtime = not-so-happy a camper. So here is our happy family on the 4th of July. You can see Tenley looking out in the distance for her Daddy
We did a mini-photoshoot with Tiffany and Mike. I LOVE this picture.
And the 2 little Squishies....we like to refer to them as Best Friends. But you wouldn't know it yet, judging by how they like to clobber each other and make each other cry. One day we'll be having cousin-slumber parties.
And another one. These girls are DELICIOUS.


And in other news, thanks to some prodding by friends, family and most especially our Pediatrician...I had Tenley do the "cry-it-out" method last week for bedtime. It should really be renamed to be, "Mommy cries it out in her bedroom in the fetal position". I will tell you what, WORST 4 nights of my life...but now, the little joy just lays in her crib wide awake and snoozes into dreamland without a peep. Miracle.

Oh joy, another thing I get to look forward to with motherhood (ISOLATING MY SOBBING SELF IN A CORNER HAVING TO LISTEN TO MY BABY CRY!!!) I don't know if I'm cut out for this. You might have to postpone that baby shower you have planned for me.

I LOVE that baby!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe I still haven't even met her!!! Good job at making her sleep it out! You don't want another Kordin who we never made do that, so he just never learned how to go to sleep without us or the t.v. on!!!! Give that Tenley lots of kisses from her favorite aunt who she has never met :(

Tiffany and Mike said...

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

The first love refers to the fact that I checked your blog with a big cloud of doubt...but SURPRISE a post that made my day :)

The second love refers to the pic you got of Mike, M, and I- I love it too :)

AND the third love refers to our little "squishies", they are going to be INSEPERABLE...let the slumber parties BEGIN!!!!

These pictures are adorable!! I'm so happy the "cry-it-out" worked for you. It's horrible, but totally worth it!

So cute! I am still rocking Molly to sleep but maybe in a couple of months I'll be ready to try that. :)

I miss your guts! These pics make me a little sad cause I don't live close enough to come and give Tenley a squeeze. Loves from the Fida's to the Wilkinson's!
