Tessa's flower

Tessa went to Mass in her jammies, so I dressed it up with a flower. 

She admired herself in the camera

Such a pretty baby

Visitors!!

Sisters

A toy that's fun for everyone

There are a couple very big differences - Lucy has a routine bedtime and was down for many hours, and Tessa does not. At all. BUT - the sleeping until 10am is pretty fantastic. She usually wakes up a little and looks around for awhile and goes back to sleep. They both cling to tiny naps, though.

Who's glad to see you?

It's Tessa!!

Tess-a

It's all videos around here! Here's Nora, "holdy bayy Tess-a"




That thing she says at the end is "hold her head up"

Tummy Time

it was nice while it lasted

Today [updated with video!]

The I documented our day for Instagram

Lucy wants to wear two shirts and no pants

Jamie spent a lot of the day crying

Tessa's up!

I nursed her and she's happy

Charlie reads to her. He loves to hold her.

This is Charlie's first reading of this story. He wanted me to video it. He's really making progress. It's pretty hard to hear the second half, thanks Lucy.

Jamie wants to write himself in science

We had a long morning so we went to the library and McDonald's 

Where Tessa had an unauthorized nap

And doesn't want to sleep with me

Charlie got a picture of us reading 

And Nora showed us a trick we didn't know she could do

Tessa smiles

I was trying to get a picture of her smiles but I was too busy watching her smile 

We tried again

But the real winner was after nap 

Horsie

Lucky daddy

Neck strength

She's just so strong and serious
