First Word

Here is video from Tessa's first word...da da da da da... Last Thursday I picked her up from daycare and heard her saying this. Although she doesn't know what she's saying, Jim likes to think she does. :) It's so crazy how these little things are so exciting!!! Enjoy the video and ignore my annoying voice (I sound so weird on video)!!

Big Day!

Tessa is 7 months old today!!!

Gone But Not Forgotten

A couple weeks ago Tessa switched day cares. It was a tough decision because we were very pleased with the care she received. Seeing these ladies everyday for 3 months (I went at lunch), we developed a sweet friendship. We had such a great time talking and laughing about stuff. It was so tough leaving and I will miss seeing them. So will Tessa!

Here are some pictures from her last day with some of her new friends. We started taking the pictures below and she just lost it!! I think she knew she was leaving...what an advanced baby! :)

Yellow Veggies

We've begun the world of veggies with Tessa. Here she is having her 1st bites of squash. This was at the end of July. If she's anything like her mommy and daddy she will like anything and everything!!















The pictures below are from last night. She had sweet potatoes and couldn't get enough!! She loved them (even though it looks like she is spitting them out in the bottom pic)! She's getting used to this veggie thing! It's so fun to see her reactions to all this new stuff.

Introducing...

HARVEY THE HIGHLANDER!!!



Can I tell you how nice it is to have more space going to and from work? I love it! I love it!! I love it!!! Between all of our bags the Altima was becoming a low-rider! And how about the name? Pretty nice, huh?

Can Anyone Relate?

I eat breakfast...still hungry.
I have snacks...still hungry.
I have lunch...still hungry.
I have snacks...you guessed it...still hungry.
Guess how I feel after dinner?

Yummy Cereal!!

That time has come. The time when Tessa can no longer survive on milk and milk alone. Well, she could, but it sounds so much more dramatic when said like that. Tessa had her first bite of cereal on Tuesday, July 15th!! It was a fun experience! I especially loved it when her arms were flying around and hit the bowl throwing the cereal overboard. What would I rather do at 6 in the morning?? Here is a quick video of her feasting on this yummy goodness called rice cereal.



I forgot to tell you guys we had her 6 month appointment about a week ago and she is still going strong in the weight category. She is 17lbs 12oz and in the 90%. Surprisingly, she didn't shed too many tears after getting her 3 shots this time. What a gal!!

She is becoming much more vocal these days and poor daddy can't get a word in edgewise. Between me and her, well, you guys know!! She's doing better at sitting up and can do pretty well on her own for a while before falling over. What a joy she has been to us thus far!
