Yesterday

Yesterday was a busy day.  Mom picked Tinsley up bright and early and took her to Jim and Sherri's.  Tinsley stayed with Jim and Sherri while mom took Gramps to the doctor.  Sherri said that Tinsley had a big time swinging outside on their glider.  Sherri said it was hot, but of course little miss did not want to go inside.  After lunch, mom and I took Tinsley to the doctor.  We had become increasingly concerned that Tinsley might have an ear infection due to the fact that she had been grabbing at her ears and waking up during the night.  The waking up thing was not fun, but what really had me concerned was the fact that Tinsley would wake up crying and be super upset.  This was just not like her.  Tinsley normally wakes up happy as can be.  I get up before her most mornings and try to get a few things done around the house.  One of my favorite parts of the day is listening to her wake up on the monitor.  She will coo and "talk" while she stretches.  She sounds so sweet.  When I go in to get her, she just smiles so big!  I LOVE IT!!!   This was not how our past few nights had been though.  We would get Tinsley down around her normal bedtime between 8-9 p.m. and sometimes as early as 10:30 she would be awake crying.  The night before last she woke up at 1 a.m. crying hysterically.  Of course around 2 a.m. she was calmed down and decided it was play time and did not go back to sleep until after 3.  So, we went to see the doctor.  They checked her ears and she does not have an ear infection.  She did have quite a bit of wax in her ears.  The PA had to clean out her ears to even be able to see her eardrum.  She said the wax could have been bothersome to her and of course there is nothing we can do to prevent it.  She also gave us something to help Tinsley to go the bathroom a little more regularly.  We are unsure if her ears were bothering her, if it is a symptom of teething, or if her stomach bothering her is waking her up.  Tinsley went to sleep last night around 9 p.m and did not wake up this morning until 7 a.m.  She was happy and was back to her usual cooing and talking.   Whatever they did yesterday worked!  It is so nice to have our happy little morning girl back!

Hanging out waiting to see the doctor.

Sherri bought this adorable outfit for Tinsley. 

Tinsley weighed 17 lbs and is now 27 1/2 inches long!  She is growing up so fast!

We spent quite a bit of the evening in the yard.  Tinsley loves to help granddad water the trees!

Eagan is of course always a great little helper as well!

We took Tinsley's clothes off to feed her and she was so comfortable that we just left her that way until it was time for pajamas.  Oh, the joys of being a little country girl!!!

She is so funny in her stroller.  She loves to stick her feet straight out and look at her toes.

Loving on Eagan before bed.
