Teeny Bikini

One of Tessa's 4 bathing suits is a bikini. :) I know a little ridiculious for a baby to have that many suits and have only been to the pool 3 times. Well, on one of these hot June days we've been having I decided to go out in the backyard to her hippo pool Grammy bought her. We stayed in the shade because there was just too much skin to cover in sunscreen! She loves the water and that black spoon just might be her favorite toy...figures huh?

That is her swingset in the back that the people left for us, she'll have a lot of fun on it someday!

Toothbrush Time

Tessa has had her 2 bottom teeth now for about a month. So, we finally went out and bought her a toothbrush and baby toothpaste. She opened right up for the brush and like all kids wanted to suck on it after brushing. We are trying to start the habit of brushing in the morning and at night now. So far she loves it and doesn't complain! We think she is about to get some more teeth because she is chewing on everything and drooling again. She also seems to be a little more clingy and wants to suck more when the others came in...otherwise it doesn't seem to bother her too much. She is such a happy baby and teething doesn't seem to change that!

Of course she would want to do it herself!

Look at how long and thick her hair has gotten too!

Janelle's Bachelorette Party

We had Janelle's Bachelorette Party a couple weekends ago and it was really fun. We had 2 connecting suites downtown that we decorated all up and had a pre-party in. We opened gifts which were really embarassing for Janelle at times and hilarious to all of us. Then played a game and had some great laughs. Then we went to dinner at Adobo which was awesome, service was fantastic and the food was great also! We then went to Howl at the Moon a piano bar in Indy and finished up a dance club. Overall it was really fun and I think everyone especially Janelle had a good time.

"Butt Cookies"

Embarassed Janelle! :)

P.S. This was my first full night away from Tessa, and I am happy to say that she and I both did just fine. She and Daddy got to hang out and had a fun time.

First Zoo Trip

Dan was on vacation this week so we went to the zoo. It was one thing that Dan said I couldn't do with him, he wanted to be there for Tessa's first zoo trip. We also had our nephew David spend the night and he went with us, it was so much fun! Almost all the animals were out because it wasn't very hot it was great! We were amazed at how much fun Tessa had, she would look at the animals and get all excited; kicking her feet and twirling her hands. We timed it between naps and she did awesome! We went ahead and bought a family membership so I'm sure we'll be taking many more trips this year!

She thought the carosel was so much fun, we were cracking up at how she grabbed right onto the bar like she knew what to do. She is a character sometimes! She was stealing the attention of everyone, they weren't even watching their own kids :)

We had so much fun with David, he is such a great kid and so much fun to have around!
Getting excited while looking at the monkeys! Daddy and Tessa

Feeding the giraffe

Showing her the sharks, you can actually pet them!
