Today we took Tessa to Picture People to take her 2.5 year old pictures. Luckily Valerie was back from vacation and could take her pictures. She was shocked at how much Tessa has grown.

Tessa is 30 months old! (2.5 years old)
I can’t believe I have a 2.5 year old! I remember the day Tessa was born like it was yesterday and in the blink of an eye she is already two and a half years old. This show up on the Time Hop app today and I feel like it is still fitting. Tessa has […]

Tessa is becoming quite the toddler lately. Some days we see signs of the “terrible twos” and other days she is our sweet little girl. Although she hasn’t made a lot of growth in the area of large motor skills ( we are still working on pedaling her trike) she has really good fine motor […]
