Afternoons

I love it on those afternoons that I get both Isaac and Tessa down for a nap at the same time...but when that doesn't happen, I get some quality time with each of them one-on-one, like today. Isaac was napping and Tessa was in a mood to just play on the floor and talk. I love it when her eyes light up as I talk to her! Enjoy the movie!

New cousin!!

Isaac and Tessa have a new cousin! Congratulations to my step-sister Allison and her husband Todd who welcomed a baby boy last night! We can't wait to see photos of their new addition!

Here are a couple new photos of Tessa. She is becoming more alert everyday and loves to be talked to and even talks back some of the time (in baby-language of course). She's recently figured out how to squeal which will be very helpful in being heard over her big brother.

I tried to get some new photos of Isaac, but this is his new thing to do whenever I get out the camera, so this is all I have:

Tessa - 2 month stats

Tessa had her 2-month check-up at the pediatrician today and confirmed what we already knew...she is one tall girl! She is 23-3/4" long (90th percentile) and 10 lbs. 5 oz. in weight (25-50 percentile). The doctor was pleased with her growth and the nurse gave her 2 shots in one little leg and one shot in the other! So, we are just cuddling her as much as possible today to help her feel better and she is sleeping alot as a result of the Tylenol the doctor recommended!

Hooray for sleep!

That's right! Tessa slept through the night last night...from about 10pm to 6am. I'm feeling great today as that's the first almost 8 hours of sleep I've gotten at a single time since she was born. Today Tessa is 2 months old...I know that everyone says this, but they really do grow up too fast - especially with the second child! We go to the pediatrician tomorrow for her 2 month check-up so I'll update with her stats soon!
