Weekend in CT and the Swim Club

We spent this past Fri/Sat in CT at Gran's house. Tessa had numerous opportunities to perfect her wave. She loves to wave, and will often do it 2, 3, 4, times in a row. And can be found waving at trees, lights, cars, anything really. She is so pleased with herself when she waves and we acknowledge it. Most of the time Tessa prefers to wave at Tim, no surprise there.

Sunday we all went to the pool. It was so nice to be outside! Tessa, of course, loved it! Tim and I were pleased that although there were a ton of people there it didn't feel crowded. We are very lucky the pool is so close to our house, about a 6 minute car ride. The short trip makes it great for quick dips in between naps.

Today I took Tessa back again and she had a good time going in the big pool and watching all the kids. Today was also Tessa's last gym class. She won't be taking a class this summer, but we hope to enroll her in the "Birds" class (10 - 19 month olds) in the fall.
The latest development from Tessa is her ability to climb. While Tim and I were making dinner tonight, Tessa was in her pen. Tim looked out in the living room at one point and found Tessa standing on top of her work bench (6+ inches off the floor). I went out picked her up and put her down on the floor. However I figured she'd get right back up, and of course she did. I got a quick picture, before I moved the work bench out of the pen, guess she can't play with it unless we are sitting there with her.
Her feet are on the blue surface...I am sure Tessa will continue to shock us with what she is capable of doing!
