Peek a boo!
I forgot to post this video in my last blog! She just starting playing Peek a Boo by covering her eyes...and sometimes her mouth :-) It is SOOOO cute! I promise this video will bring a big ol' smile to your face!
Christmas Pics!
Christmas was fun. She, of course, was more interested in trying to eat the wrapping paper but had a good time. Her two fav's were her sled and her little kitchen. We obviously have NO snow so we have been running her up and down the hall many times!
Here are some pictures from Christmas!

It's been awhile!
So...over 2 weeks ago...almost 3 weeks ago... Tessa and I ventured to the great up north to celebrate Thanksgiving and Tessa's birthday. Casey had to stay home and work...not too easy to get the busiest shopping time of the year off when you work in retail.
Our drive 5 hour drive went great! Tessa took a quick 30 minute nap the beginning of the drive. When she fell asleep I totally thought she would sleep for a good hour or so, when she woke up after only 30 short minutes I thought for sure the drive was going to be a disaster. THANKFULLY it went great! We read books, ate a lot of snacks, played a lot of peek-a-boo and passed the time. It was night not having to drive too. I think she stayed in a good mood because I was in the back seat keeping her occupied.
Tessa really hasn't seen snow before since she was just a little baby last winter! She was always looking out the door...mostly because Mom and the dog were outside but I think she was also interested in the white stuff out side! My parents bought Tessa some blocks for her birthday! Tessa wasn't too big of a fan at the time but we play with them all the time now! She loves them! She always hands them to me over and over and over and over...and over again. :-)
My parents have this big mirror in there bedroom. As soon as Tessa had a chance to scoot away she would crawl into their bedroom and kiss and talk to herself in the mirror! It was the cutest thing!
Eating some ymmy cookies! She is starting to get some hair too! A lot more in the back than on top...she may be sporting a mullet soon!

Tessa's a Big Girl!
Sunday, November 28, 2010
Special Date: 11-28
Many people don't know the significance of Tessa's birthdate. Today 11/28/98 Casey and I officially began dating 12 years ago! I was a little ol' Freshman in high school and Casey was a senior! Never thought anything would ever come out of the high school fling! Fast forward 10 years on 11/28/2008...it was the last day I felt my sweet Alyssa kicking...sometime over night she was gone. Exactly one year later on 11/28/2009 our little rainbow Tessa was born. She truly is the rainbow after the storm. This date 11/28 hold such significance in our lives.
Won't post much more right now, I need to try and get some sleep tonight. Tessa, My parents and I are headed back home tomorrow and I haven't packed at all.
Will post more when I can!
Until then...Peace, Love, and Tessa!

Up North Fun
Speaking of the parents...being home has been great. We have been visiting with family a lot and also eating a lot! I have really missed my moms cooking! Tessa has been chasing my parents dog around a lot as you can see in the picture. She loves lacy so much. Lacy loves Tess too! So glad she is a great dog!
Its reallllllllly cold here though. Silly me brought my winter boots but forgot a winter coat! Just packed my fleece...oops! I can't handle the cold like I used to! I think I'm losing my yooperhood and becoming a troll! Eeeeks!
Headed to bed now. Tessa hasn't been sleeping the greatest here. She usually wakes up around 12:30 every night for a cry fest. She has also been a little crabbier than usual at times during the day so I'm thinking she might be Teething.
Busy day tomorrow! I need to make 26 billion cupcakes (or 40) and a smash cake for Tessa's party! Can't wait to post lots of pics from my trip when we get home!
Until next time...Peace, Love, and TESSA!!!!
