In reality, she is in the dark, tucking in her “pillar” and bunny in a nest on the stairs. But what her mom anticipates is the day she realizes they can take pretty awesome toboggan rides down the stairs.
Tess picked out some pretty purple nail polish one afternoon. Early the next morning, she got cold and came in to snuggle with us. The first groggy thing she said when she started waking up an hour later was “oh! Pretty nails!” Though she could barely keep her eyes open she kept trying to admire her fingernails.
Such a bigger kid now!
Slowly learning how to swing herself. This kid could swing for thirty minutes at a time. Her mom’s arms and brain have a hard time dealing with the monotony. We seriously applaud this new autonomy.
Also, Happy Mother’s Day to all of the women who are part of Tessa’s life. She loves all of her grandmas and aunties so much, and her mom couldn’t make it without you!
Our zoo memebership expires this month and we don’t think we will renew it (because we want to try something different). So, we’ve resumed going several times a week to squeeze in all the zooness we can. Love that place!
Happy Half Way Mark, Jad Pirate! We’re on the downward slope now… 140 days and counting!
Introducing: Jad Pirate! (Disclaimer: we’re still working on a JP name. Luckily, we have five more months to figure it out.) His mommy was absolutely certain he was going to be a girl. Quite the little surprise! Can’t wait to meet him!
This particular week Tess had literally spent three hours a day playing in the house. MANY hours of bike riding through the livingroom later, we are afraid she’ll never kick the habit.
