6 Months!

So Tinsley is 6 months old and truly the light of our lives. We had kind of a hectic holiday schedule from Thanksgiving all the way until a few days ago. Because of that, she got off her schedule and was waking up multiple times a night again. So Monday, we started Tinsley cry it out boot camp. Day 3 and I think we are slowly making progress. I figured it was best to do naps and bedtime all at once. My motto is go big or go home. I will let you know on the next post how long this took to accomplish. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Tinsley is now 17 lbs and 26 1/2 in long. 75th percentile for both height and weight and 90th %ile for head circumference. She has to store all those brains somewhere right? Here are some pics from the last 2 months:

5 Months!!!

Tinsley is now 5 months old!! She is so much fun and such a blessing to our family. She loves to laugh, lay on her back and suck on her toes, and roll around from stomach to back to stomach again. It amazes me how much she is learning and how fast she is growing. I sometimes wish I could see the world through her eyes. We love our baby girl so much! P.S. I totally wrote this a couple weeks ago, but was waiting to add some pictures. I will add some more pics on her 6 month post. lol

4 Months!

I can't believe my baby girl is 4 months old already. I swear I have said that about each month that has gone by. Tinsley is now a little person. She is so much more mobile and less blob-like. She holds her head up like a champ, can roll over from her stomach to her back and can drool like nobody's business. She had her 4 month checkup earlier this week and weighs 14.2 lbs (70th percentile) and is 24.75 in long (75%). She did well while getting her shots but they kind of knocked her out of whack for a few days after. For the most part she is sleeping through the night and in general is such a happy baby! There is nothing that makes my heart smile more than when she smiles and giggles. Here are a few pictures from the last month...

3 Months

I can't believe Tinsley is already 3 months old. The time sure does fly with a little one. I love being able to stay home with her. It definitely has its challenges, but as soon as she smiles at me, all the challenges are forgotten. I love you baby girl!

Oh and I am so excited that my sister is having a baby!!!!! Yay!!!!!

2 Months Already!?!?

So I can't believe that it has already been 2 months since our sweet baby girl has come into our lives. She is such a joy and I don't remember what my life was like before she came along! This is me right before I had her!

As for Nathan, he is doing well! We just moved to O'Fallon, IL a couple weeks ago for his new job. He is the Recreation Programmer for the city of O'Fallon parks and recreation. It's hard being away from my immediate family, but I have tons of extended family in the area! It is wonderful to be so close to both my mom and dads families. As for me, I am blessed to be able to stay home with Tinsley. I'm afraid I haven't gotten everything unpacked yet, but it's so hard when you have a sweet baby to cuddle with! I promise I will try to do better about updating this, not sure if anyone reads it anyways. So long for now!

Peanut is Coming!

So I obviously have not done a great job of updating my blog. I can't believe how fast the time has gone! We are off to the hospital tomorrow night and should have a baby on Thursday! Don't get me wrong, I am extremely ready to not be pregnant anymore, but the fact that I am going to be a mom is a little terrifying. Well, here goes nothing!

Peanut is Growing!!

So since Nathan and I are not finding out the gender of baby McBeth, we will be calling him/ her Peanut until it pops out. That way we don't have to call it, it. So at the last appointment the heartbeat was 150 and everything else looked good. I even managed to gain back a few pounds since I lost 10 to begin with. We go back in 3 weeks to what would normally be the big gender reveal, but to us, we will just get a few pictures of Peanut. I am just looking forward to making sure eveyrthing is okay and Peanut is growing properly. I am still getting sick, but not as much as the first 16 weeks, so things are looking up! Here is my first belly picture. 17 weeks and 6 days :)
