All about me

I have been extremely busy these past few weeks. I managed to gain a few more pounds. I am up to 18lb 6oz and 26 inches long. I feel so big. I have been spending lots of time up at the hospital with my grandpa. I have hardly miss a single day since I was born. I have been trying to encourage my grandpa to eat by doing a little of that myself. My mom and dad have been feeding me rice cereal for a few weeks and just today I tried peas. They tasted funny. My daddy said I was making funny faces through the feeding. I saw my doctor last week for my 6 month check up and he was very pleased with all the new things I can do. I am sitting up all by myself and have been for almost a month now. I make lots of fun sounds and I even can say "Mamma". Rolling comes so natural now, and I just discovered that I can move backwards. I am a very happy baby. I only cry if I am hungry or tired. I still need three naps a day. Two short ones and one long one. I go to sleep in my own bed (crib) about 7:30pm and get up at 7:30 in the morning. I do still get up to feed at night sometimes. I love to take walks with mom and dad, and I love to visit Grandpa. He is sick and we are doing our best to keep him happy. I talk to him, sit with him in his bed, and he even sings to me when he is awake. I sure do love him.

Oh. This last picture is of me helping mom with her laundry. My outfit I had on got dirty so I did my best to get myself in the basket so mom would clean me.

First Cub's Game

Yesterday Aunt Nancy surprised us with Cub's tickets. Mom and Dad packed me lots of warm clothes because it was a night game. We had so much fun. My cousin Mandy and her boyfriend Chris came too. I got so excited when the Cub's scored a run, which was often since they won 12 to 3. I didn't make it the whole game, I was so tired. I tried my best though. We had to walk a couple miles back to our car, so I fell asleep in my daddy's arms. Go Cubs!

Biker Babe...

Mom had wore a bandana today and I told her that I thought it would look better on me. So, here it is. "Man.. I feel like a woman!"

Now, I just need to learn how to ride dad's motorcycle.

Tessa's True feelings about grass..

Videos of Tessa..

Tessa has been working very hard to polish up her musical skills.

Also, she has been working very hard rolling over "with no hands". We are so proud of our little girl. She mastered this a few days ago and now she rolls over all the time.

Happy Birthday Asher and Grandpa Olson

This past weekend Mom, Dad and I decided to take the long journey to Olsonville. The trip there was easy, but I made the trip home a little more difficult. Let's just say I had no more outfits coming home, because I exploded three times, so mom considered putting me in her pajamas. The visit itself was so much fun. I got to see so many of my cousins. I made friends with my second cousin Sydney. She is three months older than me, but we still got along super. Since it was Asher's birthday we sang to him and played with his new toys. I love him and my other cousins so much. I gave Grandma and Grandpa lots of kisses and they took lots of my sugar. I can't wait to see them all again real soon.
