The bottom left picture is my favorite, she looks so shy being the center of attention while everyone sings to her:)

I had every intention of posting these in time for St. Patrick's day...instead I was too busy snuggling my little leprechaun. Maybe next holiday I'll be better:)

4 months

DSC_2494

At 4 months Tinley:

Weighs 12.14 lbs (50th percentile)
Measures 25 in. (75th percentile)
Is getting too long for her tub (she hit her head the other day)
Found her thumb but still prefers sucking on her pointer finger or lower lip
Gas lengthy conversations
Sings different pitches with the radio (adorable)
makes the "dada" sound a lot, boo.

Shots were even more sad today:(

Here's a video of her rolling over as well as the picture I took after the first time she rolled over all by herself (back to tummy). We decided it didn't count until it was on a hard surface (not bed or couch) and she pulled her arm out from under her.

...and let's be honest. Probably the only one we'll get in 2012.

Our V-day

Started off with crepes, mmmm.

I then cut some pepperoni into hearts for a pizza.

We wanted to surprise Carleton at work with lunch, unfortunately he was SO busy that day that we got maybe two minutes with him.

New Year's Eve 2011

Lana was still in town so she insisted we take advantage of that and go on a date while she watched Tinley. SOOO we did:) We went to dinner and a movie (the latest Mission Impossible) and then came home and watched the ball drop with the munchkin. Carleton wanted to be in bed and Tinley was asleep for it, but at least I got my midnight kiss and and a toast in champagne glasses...even if it was a berry smoothie drink in said glasses. What a wonderful celebration it was with our new little family:)

We had everyone over after to celebrate over brunch. Thank you to those who helped prepare the food, especially Lana and Anna for skipping out early to make sure everything was perfect!
