8 months old!

Tessa is officially 8 months old! Time is flying by!!! Tessa loves to play sitting up and will stay that way for hours if I let her. She can go from sitting to her belly but whines when she does because she is refusing to scoot let alone crawl. When she is on her belly […]

Apple Farm (photo overload!)

Last Sunday (10/19/14) we took Tessa to the Los Rios Apple Farm in Oak Glen.  Gigi, Papa, and Madi joined us for a day of fun!  First, we had a picnic in the big grass field.  Tessa loves to feel the wind and play in the shade. Then, we went to pick apples.   We […]

Green beans

Tessa had organic green beans for the first time today. She seemed to like them more than the avocado. We also got a high chair from Great Aunt Penny’s friend. Tessa enjoyed eating in it and banging her toys on the tray. I’m learning ways to video tape Tessa even if I’m the only adult […]

Panda (part 2)

I’m starting to think Tessa’s favorite animal is a panda. She loves her panda stuffed animal at Gigi and Papa’s. Today we were reading her animal book and once she saw the page with the panda she got so excited and started reaching for it. I thought this might have just been a coincidence but […]

Pjs

Tessa is now wearing “big girl” pjs! Her chubby legs don’t fit in the sleepers anymore so we had to buy her new jammies. Auntie Madi chose Sofia the First pjs for Tessa. She only wore the top because Gigi has to hem the pants. I don’t think I’m ready for big girl pjs…tear.

Bottle Again :)

Turns out that Tessa doesn’t hate a bottle, she hated that we didn’t change the size of her nipple. She was still using the newborn slow flow nipple when she should have already used the 3+ month nipple and then graduated to the 6+ nipple. We decided to skip the 3+ nipple and go straight […]

7 months old!

Already! I say this every month but I’m shocked at how quickly the time passes. It has been amazing to be home daily with Tessa to see her grow and change. This month Tessa’s two bottom teeth have pushed through. I can’t get a picture but I can sure feel them! She has started pushing […]
