Tonight Tessa and I went to Gigi and Papa’s while Daddy got ready to go back to work. Tessa opened her ornament from Gigi. My Grammy used to always give us an ornament on Thanksgiving night so we could have our own collection. I got Santa ornaments every year. Gigi is going to keep the […]

Busy day!
Tessa started her day with a trip to Picture People to take her 9 month picture. I thought it came out so cute! Then Tia Lindsey, Uncle Matt, Auntie Madi, Paige, and Amanda came over to play. Tessa thought Amanda dancing was funny! http://youtu.be/AggJtlvxHcs Then Dana and Brittany stopped by with Valerie and Milo for […]

Tessa had a great first thanksgiving! She tried mash potatoes for the first time and made such a mess she needed a quick bath. She had lots of fun playing and talking with everyone. I love that Tessa has so many people that love her to enjoy the holidays with. This was a great start […]

Time flies when you are having fun! This has been such a fun month with Tessa. She has learned so many new things! This month started off with lots of boo boos. Tessa is still learning her boundaries and what she can do before hurting herself. She is brave and doesn’t cry when she gets […]

Since James is off all week we decided a Disneyland trip was in order! We started at Toontown and wanted to meet Minnie Mouse but her line was long so we opted to walk through Mickey Mouse’s house instead. Tessa really liked the piano. Then Tessa took me for a spin in his car. After […]

Tessa went to visit Santa today and…she didn’t cry! I’ve been showing her pictures of Santa for the past week to prepare her. Once we got to the mall we looked at the big Christmas tree and sparkly presents. Then we waved to Santa and slowly walked up to talk to him. Santa let Tessa […]

We went to Picture People today to take Tessa’s picture for our Christmas card. We brought Christmas lights, her Santa hat, and a big chunky necklace. We haven’t taken naked pictures of her since she was a month old, so it seemed appropriate. We ended up buying 3 poses and Gigi bought 2 poses! Tessa […]

James is off this week for Thanksgiving break. Tessa is already loving spending more time with Daddy. James practiced standing with her. She loves it and is so proud of herself. Ignore the unmade bed and clutter in this video. I just loved how Tessa would lean over and see where James had gone.
See MoreNose
Since Tessa loves pandas I figured why not teach her new words while she plays with her stuffed panda toy. We talk about where the panda’s eyes and noses are daily. Today she found the nose by herself! I’m amazed with how quickly she is learning things and growing up. She is almost 9 months […]

I’ve been working on teaching Tessa how to wave. We practice in front of the mirror daily. While at Disneyland Madi sent me a video of Tessa waving to her when she came home from school. It was so great to watch another one of Tessa’s milestones! The video isn’t the best but I’m glad […]
