More Video - July 17th/19th/20th

The first part of the video is Tessa opening her first, 1st birthday gift from Amy. I've been trying to teach Tessa to hold her dolls (babies) and rock them nicely...

The second part is from last night, when once again Tessa thought Lou was just hilarious.

And the last part is from today, Tessa showing how she can stand up and walk around.

Tessa Walking with Some Babbling

Walking Video

This is from last week so she's obviously gotten much better, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Tessa is trying really hard to master walking. She definitely prefers it to crawling these days. Although she hasn't learned to stand up without using something, so if she falls in the middle of the room, she has to crawl to something so she can get up. She is so proud of herself when she can walk across the room. Today Lou was in her way (what a surprise), and she was able to manuever her body around him and back to where she wanted to go without falling. I was pretty impressed.

Here are some pictures:

Thanks to Amy for letting us use her camera...mine got fried in the car and we haven't gotten a new one yet :(
