Tenley 5 months

wow! I have been horrible at updating.  Just realized the last update I did of Tenley was her blessing!

These past five months have gone way too fast, I am already looking back at her newborn pictures and missing that stage.  

She started rolling back to front awhile ago, but now learned front to back so she is just starting to roll around everywhere on the floor and starting to (worm) crawl a bit, I tried to delay her as much as possible but that didn't stop her for long.   Most babies learn the front to back first but she wanted to be different and switch it around.  

Tenley weighed 13 lbs, 14 ounces on July 9th.  

Her hair has gotten longer, and crazyier.   I have a love/hate relationship with her hair.   It's cute, but on hot summer days it gets so sweaty/greasy and she spits up quite a bit and it gets all in her hair.   She has MANY baths because of it.

No teeth have come through, but she is teething tonnes lately, something always has to be in her mouth. 

She has been a great sleeper so far, I don't feel as sleep deprived as I did with my other two.  

I'm just going to do a picture overload to catch up a bit.

Zoë Update

Zoë is almost 6 years old, 56 lbs and 3'11".  She's my sweet natured girl, always concerned for others and wanting to make everyone happy.    She is such a Mommy's girl, wants to be around me most of the time and do what i'm doing.   If I go out in the evening I am usually prying her off of me in tears so I can leave.  

She has improved so much this year in her reading/writing in kindergarten.   She loves that she can now read me stories, or write notes to her friends/family.  

I was able to volunteer a few times at Zoë's kindergarten class which I enjoyed doing.  I was able to see her at school and see what she did on most days.   They were able to inline skate a few times in gym class and she insisted I come watch her (volunteer) so I could see how good she was.

Zoe is always demanding I take pictures of her (which is good as I often forget, or too busy at the moment).  Somedays she has a really hard time with Tenley taking up so much of my time, but she loves her and loves being able to take care of her sister and get her to smile. 

This is Zoe at her kindergarten celebration.  She is sad that its over, but excited to start grade 1.  She will be starting at Cranston school for grade 1 so she doesn't need to switch schools halfway in the year when we move there.

She loves to learn, and LOVES art and crafts.    You can normally find Zoe making a craft for someone or doing some homework.
