Whitney's graduation

Whitney graduated Summa Cum Laude from Lubbock Christian University today with a degree in accounting.  We are so proud of all that she has accomplished.  Here are a few pics of the graduation and our celebratory dinner.

Baby's got her blue jeans on!

Diamonds are a girls best friend!

Tinsley got her first pair of diamond earrings from grandmom and granddad a few weeks ago.  She looks so sweet in them and I know that she will treasure them always!

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin!!!!!

Tinsley rolled over this evening!  We were so excited!  She was not rolling over at her 4 month doctor's appointment and I was a little bit concerned.  Doctor Peck assured me that it was nothing to be concerned about.  Tinsley does not actually spend a lot of time in positions that she can roll over from.  She still sleeps in her nap nanny reclined.  She plays on her back on her activity gym and we do tummy time daily.  She does not really like tummy time, so the incentive to roll from her back to her tummy is not great.  But, it happened this evening and it was perfect timing.  Toby was taking a break from working in the office and we were both in the living room watching her play at her activity gym on her back.  Eagan was laying next to her and she was turning onto her side to look at him(she has been doing this for the past week or so).  Then instead of rolling back to her back, she rolled on over to her tummy.  SO  EXCITING!!!!  I was thrilled that Toby and I both got to see her do it the first time!  Of course, she was immediately ticked off that she was on her stomach J

Ready to roll!

Less than thrilled that we ended up on our tummy

Up and off the floor ready for dinner J

We are so proud of you sweet Tinsley!

Tinsley at Work

Tinsley and I came to Arlington on Saturday to "help" daddy with work.  We are not sure how he was able to get anything done without us!  All kidding aside, it is going better than what we thought it might.  We have been able to stay caught up with work.  We arrived on Saturday and the weather was beautiful!  All that changed by Sunday morning when we woke up.  A front hit late Saturday night and it started raining and hailing.  Tinsley slept right through the hailstorm.  Eagan, however, did not do so well.  Eagan HATES thunder and even hates it when we are in the fifth wheel and it is raining because it is kind of loud.  The rain set in late Saturday night and it was nasty all the way through Monday.  Eagan had Toby and I up quite a bit on Saturday and Sunday nights.  I told Toby it is pretty sad when you have a 4 month old baby, but the dog is the one that keeps you up at night!  Tuesday we woke up to a beautiful day.  We are really enjoying being here and spending time with Toby.  Here is a bit of what Tinsley has been up to.

Resting with daddy

Walking Eagan

Tinsley's favorite part of the exersaucer is the mirror on the backside of the blue toy with the shapes hanging off of it.  She LOVES to look at herself and jabber away.  J

Helping mommy and daddy with paperwork

Swinging in her new bunny swing.  We have a travel swing that we had used when Tinsley was about a month old and we were in Houston with Toby.  Tinsley was no longer too fond of the travel swing(it doesn't swing side to side) and decided not to nap since she didn't have a cradle swing here like at home.  We got here on Saturday and by Monday daddy decided that a new swing would be the perfect investment!!!!

Eagan resting after the rain and hail FINALLY stopped J



Chow Time!

Tinsley had her first rice cereal yesterday. She did great!!!  Daddy videoed and Stacie took pictures while I fed her so that it would be well documented.J  Pictures are below.  I tried to upload the video, but it kept timing out.  The KOA we are staying at does not have the greatest internet service, so I will try and upload it later tonight.  Eating must have really worn her out.  She went to sleep at 7:45 last night and did not wake up until 5:30 this morning!  Way to go Tinsley!!!!

Feeling Crabby(attire wise)

We are not super wild about tummy time ;-)

4 month doctor's appointment

Grandmom, aunt Whitney and I took Tinsley to the doctor today for her 4 month well-baby checkup and shots.  She did great!  Tinsley weighs 16 lbs. 3 oz. (92nd percentile), is 26" long (95th percentile) and her head is 16 3/4".  The doctor had nothing but praise for Tinsley. Tinsley cried for just a second after her two shots, but it was soooo much better than last time.  Here are a few pics from the big day.

Checking weight, height and head measurement.

Tinsley jabbered and smiled the whole time that they were getting her stats!

I LOVE her serious face!  She is not amused by our shenanigans in an effort to make her smile!!!

Talking to Dr. Peck

Not Fun!!!

We all survived it

Home and relaxing on the back porch.  Tinsley is still sleeping great at night, but really fights going to sleep.  We have found that taking her outside really relaxes her.  Tonight, we sat out on the back porch and watched Eagan and Trixy for about an hour and she fell asleep. 

So glad we have the shots behind us and she did so well!
