Busy as a Bee!

As the weather gets warmer, the Arndt family gets busier and busier! Hunter's baseball season is in full swing. Chad is the official Assistant Coach this year. And, of course their team name is the Cubs . . boooo. Once it gets warmer, Tinley will have to make an appearance in her White Sox outfit. :)

Cody got his first job yesterday! He will be working at the concessions where Hunter plays baseball. He is excited to start making some money. . . . . maybe for a new car next year? yikes.

Tinley is officially 4 months old! She is weighing in a 15 lbs and 25 inches. She finally is lifting her head. I was getting a little worried there for a second. Now, just waiting for the infamous "turn over". She is getting close, but no cigar.

Chad is still busy, busy at work. Like I said earlier, he is the assistant coach for Hunter's baseball team. He loves to clean the garage now since the weather has gotten better. I got him watching Extreme Couponing and he is now pushing me to search for coupons for EVERYTHING.

I am starting up two businesses to accommodate my shopping addiction. :) Chickpix Photography and Cutie Pie Props. Thanks to friends and friends of friends, I am getting quite busy with my photo business! I am also busy busy crafting, which has started Cutie Pie Props. I was making props for my photo business and thought "hey, I can totally make these and sell them!" I am busy promoting and participating in blog giveaways to get my name out there. I am loving it and can't imagine myself working for the "man" again. Soooooo, if you are looking to get your kids or your family's pictures taken, give me a shout!

Not a Peanut Anymore!


Where did my little peanut go? Tinley is approaching her 4 month birthday very soon! She has reached many milestones in the past few months. Our little one is getting stronger by the day. She is holding her head up and prefers sitting propped up so she can see the world! She is a smiler. She smiles at anyone that will talk to her. She is close to laughing. Her brothers are the best at getting her to chuckle. She loves her brothers! Little Miss Tinley is also a talker! Once she starts, she keeps going and going and going . . . . she must get this trait from her dad. :)

I was going through my camera memory cards the other day and realized that I still had the pictures on there from the day she was born. For some reason, it's hard to take them off! I am afraid that they will get lost in the transfer, I guess. :)

Her next doctor appointment is April 18! I am excited to see how much she has actually grown! She is wearing 6 month clothing right now. I have a closet full of 6 month summer clothes, so I am eager for the warm weather to get here and stay. She has way too many cute summer outfits that I don't want to see go to waste!

Overall, she is the perfect baby. She is sleeping about 9-11 hours a night. She only cries when she is hungry or has a wet diaper or when she wants attention. She loves her hand held when she eats and when she is about to fall asleep. And, most importantly, she loves shopping with mommy. :)
