Christmas is coming

Christmas is coming so Mom tried to get some good pictures for Christmas cards. I hope I did a good job posing for her. She first tried me next to our big hairy dog, but Tivoli wouldn't cooperate, so she then placed me in a rocking chair. That was fun!! The last

picture she took I was snuggled in to my carseat ready for shopping. She says it looks like I am dreaming about Christmas. I wasn't though.. I was dreaming about eating AGAIN!

Now Starring...Tessa Olson!

Yes, here it is. My first starring role! Mom and dad said I will be a star someday, but in order to make it big, I have to do some smaller roles. So they booked this video called One Minute Abs. In it, I show other babies how to get the most out of their activity mats. The first video is a warm up exercise where I box around a duck. Stay tuned for the next installment when I'll study my face in the mirror.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a lot of fun during Thanksgiving. I got passed around a lot!! Mom dressed me in a very pretty dress for the occasion. Dad and Uncle Justin spent a lot of time watching my mom's side of the family chat and visit. They get overwhelmed sometimes. Tomorrow I get to visit my dad's side of the family. I am so excited.

I've been busy with mom this week!

I had my one month check up at the doctors on Wednesday. It wasn't that bad, they weighed me AGAIN, and I have put on some weight. I am now 9lb 5oz, which mom says is super! I am 21 inches long now and I love stretching to show it. I am eating well and sleeping longer through the night. I am still sleeping on my Daddy's chest through most of the night. It is just so warm, that I don't see myself sleeping anywhere else for a while. I even like sleeping on Mommy's chest!

We went to a toga party a few days ago and Mom bought me and her matching Togas.

Do I look like my mom?
She thinks I look smarter with glasses on! What do you think?

Tessa's First Wedding

Last weekend, my cousin Marci got married! I didn't get to see a lot of it because mom walked me out because I was being a little too loud. But I just wanted her to hold me up so I could see better...I have to work on using my words, I guess. Anyway, here are some pictures from the big event. I got to meet and re-meet some aunts, uncles, and cousins. I got passed around a bit. Everyone smelled like chicken and champagne. Not sure why though. The night went well and I slept really well when we got home. Daddy said he was already dreading having to give me away at my wedding someday.

Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween was great fun! We bought a pumpkin which is bigger than me! Then we got me all dressed up for Halloween pictures. Mom dressed me as a flower which my Aunt Bonnie bought for me!! She has such good taste! Then we went and visited some family. We started at Grandma and Grandppa's house. Mom let me rest up on Grandpa so that I could be in a good mood for the rest of our night. Then we headed to McHenry to see my Aunt Nancy and her family, Aunt Patti and Uncle Bob (that was the first time I met him), Aunt Lori and her family. Everyone said I look adorable.
