Movin' and Shakin'

Tessa is really on the move now. She has been "army crawling" for a while, but now she can really get around. She is up on her knees but still drops down when she wants to go fast. We also switched out the coffee table for our old ottoman. It is huge so we thought it'd be too big for the living room, but as we've quickly found out Tessa rules this house and it is better for her :) She pulls up on it and carefully makes her way around. She still tumbles down but is getting more graceful. She thinks all these new adventures are really great and is always laughing at herself along with us. The personality just gets better and better and a little stronger with each month too!! We have an independant girl who thinks she is so big!
The only problem we've found is with all this new mobility she willl stand up in her crib and is fighting sleep a little more. From what I've heard this is pretty common and like everything else it is just a phase and it too will pass soon!!

Just playin with the toys, she will play about an hour or so by herself in the living room while I try to get stuff done! She is such an awesome baby!

Janelle and Matt's Wedding Weekend

I have only a few pics from the awesome wedding weekend! I had my camera but there was usually to much going on to stop and capture them....I guess that's why you hire a photographer! I am so disappointed I don't have one of Janelle in her dress, she was stunning! Of course I did get a pic of Tessa at each event of the weekend...figures huh!?

Happy Birthday Grandad!

We celebrated my Dad's birthday today at our house. Dan grilled ribs, which were amazing. We ate dinner, the guys watched some golf, then we all took a walk down to the park in our neighborhood. It was a lot of fun!


Look at those muscles

Grandma is her buddy


Happy Birthday Grandad!

Happy Fourth of July 2009







Unfortunately the 4th was my holiday to work this year...not too bad I guess since Tessa's asleep by 8! :) Daddy's job today was to get pictures of her in her "4th of July dress". I think she looks a lot like him in these...good job Daddy!
