1st Trip...to the ER!

Well, we can now say we've experienced our first trip to the emergency room with Tessa! We all went out for a little family shopping experience on Saturday and while mommy was trying on some dresses, daddy was doing a great job entertaining our little angel! They were having a little too much swinging fun and apparently Tessa's elbow popped out of joint...nursemaid's elbow I believe it's called. Actually, after it happened, Tessa still wanted to swing with her other arm. What a strong girl she is! She didn't cry or anything, she just wasn't using that arm and was chilling out for entirely too long. We knew something was up! Our child doesn't just sit for long periods of time...she's 2! So we found ourselves in the ER.
Here's the before:


And here's the after:


On Sunday I tried to reason with my 2 year old about potty training and showed her some 'big girl panties' to see if we could push this along at home since her daycare says she is about ready for bgp's. This is the best shot I could get of what she did with those...


I have video of that if you really want to see it!! In the meantime, here's a different video I thought was cute. If you listen closely, she says whoopsie daisy!

Progress

The house is coming along and it looks like we'll close towards the end of May! Tessa has taken a liking to her new house. She calls it 'Tessa's House' and loves running around while her voice echos throughout!

Here she is in her room looking out the window (notice baby and blankey were lucky enough to come today)...


Here's what happens when you try to get an action shot of a 2 year old...

Memories

I'm reminded on this day of going to Logan's with my hubby and my mom a few years back and getting a green tea. I thought it would be green colored sweet tea. It wasn't! It was a lot stronger that sweet tea!! :) Have a Happy St. Patty's Day!

Fun Stuff!

Let's start with Chef Tessa...



Okay, now that I've shared that cute picture let's continue. I just found out today that I have more than my parents reading this blog...who knew??

Our house is coming along beautifully!! We should be closing in May some time so we're in the home stretch! I'm so excited to be there as it will be a great home to begin building memories in.

I made a trip to LA to see one of my best friends in the world, Holly. :) We had so much fun doing all that touristy stuff. We went to the WB studios (saw the Friends set), went to Holloywood and saw where all the famous people live, and went to a great baby shower in honor of her sweet baby, Jude! It was a wonderful trip and I was so glad to get to see the 'belly.' Jude is due any day now! Sleep now, chica!




The weather this weekend was amazing! We had no choice but to go outside and ride Tessa's bike that she was given for her 2nd b-day back in January by her Uncle Jeff, Aunt Gret, Chris and Livy. It was a lot of fun! Here are some pictures from our time.







Hopefully it won't be another 3 months before you hear from us, but realistically it could be! :) Happy spring and don't forget to spring forward next weekend! We lose an hour...boo hisss!!
