Look What I Can Do....

We've been really behind on posting pictures...as many of you know we are in the middle of moving to our new house so it's been a bit busy. Tessa is growing and changing as usual so before we officially move tomorrow and don't have internet for a few days I wanted to post some pics of her around 6 months old doing all her new big girl things!

Over the last couple weeks she is learning all kinds of new sounds, no official words, but I bet we'll hear something by 7 months!! She has this soft little raspy voice and she'll say ahhhh, it melts your heart! She will mostly only say it to Zayne who could care less though. :)

After her 6 month check-up we were given the o.k. to start trying a sippy cup. She knows right where to bring it, but not too sure how to drink out of it.

At first it was mostly just a teether, but know after a week and a half she will suck it if you show her how to first. Right now I've just been putting water in it and she'll pretty much spit it out.

She is still in love with her walker...we put it on the wood floors and she makes her way all around the room. Her new favorite thing it to get close enough to something and grab it. She will dance back and forth and get really excited. Here she is trying open a mother's day present. :) And also if you take something away from her that she wants she will growl and then throw a tantrum.....we are in for it I can tell. :)

She has tried most of the baby foods in the jar and we are now moving to Stage 2 foods. We've also been experimenting with some other things here and there. Dan finally found teething biscuits which she is a big fan of....but they're very messy and she has to go straight to the tub afterward. The other day I was eating a banana and she was so focused watching me, so I broke it in half and let her have it. I thought maybe she'd just hold it or lick it....

well.....

She immediately bit off a big hunk and looked at me like "what? I already know how to do this Mom!"

(she has a little cold, so her eyes are puffy and her cheeks are red here)

We've been consistently working on tummy time and sitting up and she is making major progress....it just shows if you give it a little attention on a daily basis they will learn it quickly

Today she was doing this....pulling her legs all the way up and pushing on her hands. She still has to put her face down on the floor when she does it, but then she'll straighten out her legs and inch forward!! Yeah!! She moved a good 2 feet across the floor doing this. I will try to catch a picture of her sitting up because she can do it on her own now for a little bit.

So, I will post again as soon as we get internet back up and I have a chance! We can't wait to have visitors at our new house!
