It Happened

(Stud)

As I have said before I am not a baby person, I am not one to rush to hold other people's babies or ooo and ahh over them.  Jared isn't either.  Therefore Jared and I were really counting on the "it's different when it's your child" thing - otherwise Tenley would be in serious trouble.   Well that saying stands true.  I love Tenley, I already told her I didn't want her to get any bigger!  I love snuggling with her and having her sleep on my chest, I love rubbing her little cheeks and hair.  I love her BIG eyes and how they look around in amazement at things.  I just love her!    I still am not a baby person to other babies, I think I can appreciate them more, but still no strong desire to hold or play with other babies...it's just not me.

Tenley, Duke, and I are having a great first week with Jared back at work - although of course we miss him.  Monday we pretty much just hung around the house, but in the evening we had a work appointment.  Tenley came with me on a listing appointment and was perfect (slept the whole time).  It was great to be out doing something, she also got her first feeding from a bottle from Jared.  It was fun to watch him feed her and be able to see all her little expressions and things.  At first I was happy that Jared was feeding her, then I realized how much I love that time I get to spend with her (also another things books said and I was skeptical) and I got sad that he was feeding her - haha.   Then Tuesday Tenley and I had to do some work so we headed to my dad's office to make some copies and scan things, then over to Keller Williams to hand in a bunch of paperwork.  Tenley was a HUGE hit at the office and at one point there were 3 ladies (all baby lovers) just starring at her making all the OOOO's and Ahhhhh's that I can't relate to.  I started laughing cause seriously they were standing there for like 8 minutes just looking at Tenley - haha.  I mean I know she is amazing, but seriously.  Then we headed off to a showing and Tenley slept again while I walked around the house with clients.  

Today we have a couple of "walk" dates!  My friend Sarah just called and we are headed out for a walk, and my mom is coming over later...Duke will really like the events scheduled for today.

Overall so far things are going GREAT.  I don't feel confined to my house, I make a plan of something to get done everyday so I am not just sitting at home, and everyone is happy and healthy.  I am a little dissapointed in how quiet our house is... I don't want Tenley to get used to all this quietness, so I am going to have to think of a way to spice it up around here.

OH another sad confession: I think I like Tenley's pants with the ruffle butt...sad but true.
