Swimming with Daddy

To beat the heat and get out of the house we went to Gigi and Papa’s house (while they were in Georgia) to go swimming. Tessa LOVES the water especially driving her tug boat.

I had to go to the dentist, post office and deliver a cup order today. I didn’t want to haul Tessa around putting her in and out of the car when it was in the 100s. Gigi was out of town so Great Aunt Penny stepped in to watch Tessa. They had lots of fun […]

6 months (Part 2)

With a busy day yesterday and Tessa being crabby from teething we decided to take her month onesie pictures today. It is crazy to see how much bigger she looks in her crib now.

1st Owie

Tessa got her first boo boo today. She was playing sitting up when she fell to the side. I was able to catch her before she hit the ground but not before she hit the leg of her toy. She didn’t cry which made me proud not because I want her to be tough, but […]

6 months old!

Tessa celebrated her 1/2 birthday today! It is crazy to think that 6 months from now we will be celebrating her 1st birthday…let the tears begin. I remember when Tessa was a couple months old and thinking that at 6 months is when all the “cool” things happen. And actually it is true. Although I […]

Missed Them

Gigi, Papa, and Auntie Madi were in Texas for a wakesurf competition this past weekend. I think Tessa missed them as much as they missed her. They all came by today to get their “Tessa fix”. They even brought Tessa a gift from the Texas Stockyard…cowgirl boots! They are a little big but will be […]

Sleep Training

For the past two weeks I’ve been working on sleep training Tessa. I was concerned she wasn’t sleeping well when she would wake up screaming at bedtime and took 5-6 short naps a day. I knew I had to change something. I decided to buy the book No Cry Sleep Solution and try that approach. […]

Park Play Date

Tessa is lucky to have friends close to her age. Today we drove to Signal Hill to have a park play date and eat yummy BBQ. The babies played on the blankets. And then we had a photo shoot. It’s hard work trying to get 4 babies to look and all be happy at the […]

The Tracy’s

We went to Corona today to visit the Tracy’s, except Kody 🙁 Tessa wore a cute outfit that Paige and Great Aunt Polly bought her. She loves her sparkle shoes especially the laces. Great Aunt Polly found some fun new toys for Tessa to play with. She thought the dancing bunny was funny. Then Paige […]

Megan

Megan came by last night to say good bye before she heads back up to Oregon. She really wanted Tessa to crawl, even though she is hardly scooting. She kept placing toys out of Tessa’s reach to see what she would do. A few times Tessa was able to scoot and reach for them. Tessa […]
