- We went to the doctor and got shots today. Tinsley did great as usual. She cried when they gave her the shots but stopped almost immediately after I picked her up. Tinsley weighs 18 lbs. 6 oz. (90th percentile) is 27.5 inches long (96th percentile) and her head circumference is 17.5 inches (93rd percentile)
- Tinsley is wearing size 6-12 month clothes in regular clothing. In sleepers, we are officially in 12 months! She is so long! She can wear 9 month onesies, but the sleepers in 9 months are too short. She can’t straighten her legs all the way. J
- Wearing size 3 diapers.
- Taking a 5-7 oz bottle of breastmilk 5 times a day.
- We are still working on getting Tinsley to eat. She doesn’t seem too interested in it(though as you can see from the stats above and pics below she is not suffering). Over the past few days she has done better. She is less than thrilled about veggies for sure, but does okay with fruits mixed with cereal or oatmeal.
- Tinsley is still waking up on occasion during the night. Sometimes she will wake up and just want to hold your hand for a minute and then go back to sleep(which I LOVE) and sometimes she actually wakes up and wants to eat. Of course, we get lucky quite often and she sleeps all night for about 8 hours as well. She is doing great!
- Tinsley normally takes a pretty good mid-morning nap and a short afternoon “cat-nap”.
- Still jabbering constantly and laughs out loud quite often during our “conversations”. She LOVES my mom and thinks she is the funniest person ever. Tinsley and grandmom are still getting quite a bit of one on one time together since I have been so busy with work. Mom comes and picks her up in the mornings and then brings her home at night after I finish working. We couldn’t be more blessed!
- She can sit unassisted for a few seconds.
- We are getting better at tummy time, though this is still certainly not her favorite thing to do.
- Tinsley likes to play in her exersaucer.
- Tinsley is happy to entertain herself as long as she can see that someone is with her. She fusses if you walk out of the room and is immediately happy again once you return. My weekly e-mail update that I get talks about this separation anxiety being a normal issue at this age and that we need to “practice” leaving the room and coming right back so she will not become anxious at being left alone. We are definitely going to have to work on that.
- Tinsley loves to play with her feet. We have to make sure and keep them clean because she can and does put them in her mouth. J
- Tinsley has been swimming a few times and loved it!
- She still loves being outside. Tinsley and my mom spend quite a bit of time out in the yard watering plants, cleaning the pool and watching the cats. When Tinsley is fussy, we take her outside and she immediately calms down.
- Her favorite thing in the world still seems to be Eagan Eagan
- Our favorite thing that she does is grab both of your cheeks, pull you to her, and give you a kiss (suck on your cheek). It is the absolute best!!!!

Hanging out on the glider. Tinsley loves to swing whether it be in her swing in the house, on the back porch, or the glider.
Shopping before going to the doctor. Tinsley decided her hairbow would make a better bowtie!

Shopping at Wal-Mart after the doctor. This was her first time to ride in the shopping cart with the shopping cart cover that mom got for her.
I went and got the few things I needed and mom and Tinsley did their shopping. This is how I found Tinsley when I met back up with them. Apparently, she didn't like sitting the correct way in the cart, so she and grandmom decided this would be so much more comfortable!!!!
Tinsley, you had a very busy 1/2 birthday. We love you so much!!!!
