This can't really be that comfortable...

...but this is how Tessa fell asleep for her nap this afternoon! (I really wish I didn't have to wake her up in 20 minutes to go take the car for an oil change!)

Chitty Chitty...

Yesterday John and I took Isaac downtown to see the musical "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". It is one of his favorite movies and we all enjoyed the musical. He did really well sitting in his seat almost the entire 2-1/2 hours (and even during naptime!). He loved when they made the car (Chitty) fly and was very interested in all the details of the theater. We weren't sure if he was old enough for something like this - but he had a great time!

Grabby hands

Yesterday during lunch I stepped away from the table for a minute only to get back to this...Tessa had grabbed the whole container of baby food and shook it all over her high chair and the floor. I thought I had pushed it far enough away on the table - but apparently not! You can see how pleased she was with herself for actually getting ahold of it. So, she has a new nickname to add to the list. I've been calling her "grabby hands" for a while now, but today Isaac game up to me while I was feeding her and said "Tessa grabby hands!".

Sittin' pretty

It's amazing how quickly those milestones sneak up on you the second time around...a couple of weeks ago I was working with Tessa on sitting up by herself and she just wasn't quite ready, she would have rather been laying down and playing. Today I thought I would try it again - and just like that it all clicked and she got it. She figured out that it's pretty fun to sit up and play with some of her toys. (And I happen to think she's pretty darn cute while she's doing it!)
