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.
