Two New Videos

Tessa loves to crawl around and pull herself up on just about anything. Its a lot of work to keep up with her and I'm hoping she doesn't learn to walk for at least a little while. Right now she does far too much wiggling to ever be able to keep her balance while walking...so I hope I've got some time!
The quick burst of summer has us wanting quite a few things that are in storage, so this weekend we plan to retrieve our bikes, lawn chairs, etc. And then I've got to decide on a bike seat/trailer for Tessa.

Frog Kiddie Pool

Tessa, of course, LOVED the pool. She had a good time splashing around, and trying to pick up the water. That was until she realized just how close the grass was, and all she wanted to do was pull the grass, and eat it. Then we pulled out the bubbles (thanks Nana!) and she was intrigued for quite some time.

Here are some of the pictures, to see all of them go here: Frog Pictures

Gorgeous Weekend

Tim, Tessa, and I got back late last night from CT. We went up for a few days to see Gran, (Tim had to go for work). The weather there was nice, but its perfect here in MD today.

Pictures from the past week or so can be seen here PICTURES

We've got Tessa's kiddie pool set up in the backyard, so hopefully they'll be some cute pictures later.

Growing Up Too Fast...

Tessa LOVES to try and stand up! I thought we'd have a little more time before this would happen. She is fascinated with the couches, and is thrilled with herself when she can pull herself up to standing. I of course am petrified, because she rarely holds on for long, before she goes crashing to the floor. So far no major bumps/bruises but I'm sure they're coming soon. The other new development is her "personality". Thats a really nice way of saying she is getting very opinionated and has no problem letting you know if she doesn't like whatever just happened. This usually happens right after she has crawled to something that she cannot have and I have to take it away. Or when she tries to eat the grass, we've spent a lot of time outside the last few days because the weather has been gorgeous!
