Tenley Paige 2 months OLD

Our little girl is 2 months old already!! I'm happy to say she has made it through some rough days and it now a real happy little girl! She is also gaining weight! She still adores being held and I love to hold her so that is PERFECT!!!!

New things for Tenley from month 1-2. She survived her first evening (NOT NIGHT) home with just daddy! has been sleeping through the night since memorial day! She had Grandma Mary babysit just her!! She is now in size 1 diapers and is sitting in the bumbo!

Her stats: Weight- 10lbs. 4 oz. 25%

Height- 21 inches. 5% (She hasn't gotten any longer since birth??)

Another little peanut!

The newness of having a baby sister has not worn of for the boys. They are still very excited to tell people they have a baby sister and share her name with them. Only once have they climbed into her crib to give her a paci. Hopefully they now understand it's not safe for them to climb into her bed!!

2 months have flown by but yet I can't truly remember what life was like without her!! I feel blessed as well as overwhelmed with what an awesome gift each of my children are! Praise God for the beautiful gift of children!!

Strawberry JAM!

We made some strawberry jam this week!! This was the first time I've made Jam since Jacob was a baby like Tenley! Deacon however liked the whole process the most and even had a few extra tastes of the sweet strawberry goodness and we were making it!!

Summer is Here!

It's June and Summer is here! We are excited to be getting more on the move now that Tenley is almost 2 months!! We are enjoying some summery things these first few days! We went to a WhiteCaps game for my brother and sister and law to celebrate their first date 15 years ago! We also started some extreme swimming lesson. The kids are basically held under and taught to swim but I think it's going to work!! :/ Here are a few pics of these first days of summer!

First Day of Lessons! These are some kids who don't know what's coming!

Yogurt pops with friends. sadly to cool to eat outside!

Memorial Day 2011

Jacob was in the Memorial Day parade with his 3 school class from Zeeland Christian. It was so cute to see him up there on the float.

We also enjoyed some family time over the weekend. We attempted a swim at the pool by grandpa and grandma Mary's but got rained out on Sunday. Then on Monday we took advantage of the hot and sunny weather and headed to the beach. Jason may have gotten sunburn but the kids have never played so well and for so long together. Tenley also ventured down to the beach along with her tent and bouncy seat. She was good as gold only waking up just in time for a feeding!

Our little lady all dressed up in her RED, WHITE, and BLUE!

We ended the weekend with dinner on the back porch just the five of us! PERFECT!!!

Baptism

We celebrated Saturday night as Tenley was baptized at our church! We enjoyed dinner with our families at our house before the service. Such a special day for our precious baby girl! We praise God for the gift of her life and the opportunity we have to raise her to know him as her Lord and Savior!

Always need pics of the yummy food and cake!!

Tenley was perfect while being baptized. I honestly didn't even think to be worried about her crying while we were up there until it was over. I guess somethings change by the time its your 3rd. The boys enjoyed being "on stage" a little more than they should have even starting to put on their own show with dancing and spins. I guess to them a stage means its time to perform!!

Visiting Great Grandpa and Grandma DeWitt

Tonight we finally made it out to Grandpa and Grandma DeWitt to introduce them to baby Tenley. The boys were super excited to go and read stories, play toys and drink lemonade. It's always good to visit with the Great-Grandparents!
