Tessa's 2nd Washington trip

We all went to WA for Chris and Staci's wedding. It was so much fun and was beautiful! We only stayed a couple days. we all hope next time we can stay longer. The little outfits Grandma bought the girls were so cute!

Football Fan

So as most of you know me and Kyle are BIG football fans... Kyle likes the Seahawlks and I like the Eagles. so since Tessa cant pick a team yet she cheers for the "Seagles" :) so we dressed her up with a homemade onesie saying "eagles cutest fan" and then put some Seahawlks head and wrist bands on.

Pretty in pink

The Zoo

We went to the zoo as a family. It was so fun. I have not been since about 5th grade. It has changed alot. It was fun to see the baby Elephant and the baby Giraffe. Super cute! Tessa had a fun time.

She had to much fun! Nap time!

Messy Tessy!

So we finally bought a tray for the bumbo. She loves when we give her some food to play in. she makes the biggest mess! She will actually get the spoon in her mouth, (by then all the food has fallen from the spoon all over her body) but she is getting the point.

Tessa's feet

Tessa has learned how to grab her feet. It is adorable. (unless you are changing her diaper)

Thank you charla!

We are lucky to have Charla. Since her little girl is getting older she lets Tessa borrow some toys and things to keep her occupied. Tessa loves them.

Going to Payson Lake

The past few weeks the three of us have been going up to Payson Lake. Its so pretty up there, and its not that far of a drive so we go often. Kyle loves it because there is water he can swim in. And I love it because I can just hang out with Tessa in the shade. Tessa LOVES being outside. There are a ton of ducks. Mom and babies and Tessa will watch them swim, or come up close when we feed them.

The past 3 months

The past 3 months have been fun! Tessa has reached so many milestones. She is Rolling over, Giggling, Eating baby food, and she has found her voice and she isn't afraid to use it. I still cant believe how time is flying. The other day I was looking at her little Preemie outfits (that were to big at the time) that she wore the first few weeks, and looking at the close she is wearing now. One in particular outfit I got when she was just a few days old, saying "that is HUGE" Tessa wont fit into that for a LONG TIME!" and guess what....its to small for her now. Tessa is so much fun. I am blessed to be able to stay at home with her, and not haveing to work right now. I thank Kyle every day for working so hard to make this possible.

Tessa's first trip to Washington

The three of us all went back to Washington in May. Tessa got to fly on a airplane for the first time, I was so amazed about how well she did. I heard all the scary stories about babies and airplanes. I was very nervous but Tessa did it like a champ!

When we go to Washington its always a great time. We love spending time with the family, Tessa had a blast! She got to meet her great Grandma and Grandpa and her Uncle Chris for the first time. And the whole time we were there I don't think there was a moment she wasn't being held and snuggled.

Going back to Harstine Island

So we decided to take a small break and head to Harstine Island for a night. We had a great time. Even though I cried every 20 seconds because I missed our Tessa so much! It was nice to get out.
Harstine Island is the most peacefull place ever. Lots of trees, lots of water, and lots of wild life!

Tessa's First weeks home

Having Tessa home has been amazing. How the time flies! Week by week we see her grow. It seems like yesterday we were bringing her home.
Her first week home is when Kyle and I learned the most. Not only did we have a newborn, we had a almost one month early, very tiny newborn.
Here are some pictures of her first month home.

The first few weeks have flown by! I wish time would slow down a little. Before we know it Our little baby Tessa will be all grown up. Here are some more pictures of the first few weeks.

Tessa's first Easter

So Jen and I were able to celebrate Easter this year with Tessa. It was so much fun being on the other side of everything this year, die eggs, get Easter basket, etc. Jen and I loved finally being able to take these types of roles and are excited about starting our own traditions. Tessa was very spoiled this year both grandparents got her bunny that was about the same

size of her and then Jen and I got Tessa a huge pink bunny. She finally fit into newborn clothes and that made Jen very happy so we put her in the cutest dress and shoes. We went to her grandma and grandpa morgans house to cellabrate Easter where Tessa attended her first egg hunt. It all was really fun to be able to spend Easter for the first time as a family.
