10 months.

Tess is in the double digits now. Oh my how quickly this is all going. She is practically in college;)

The big 10 month old likes to spend her time pushing around her walker, and steering it with great precision like a car, avoiding edges of furniture etc.
She eats like a pig still, loves her food, doesnt matter what it is.
She says dog, it sounds more like "duh" though.
She is getting very close to walking, I would guess this month sometime. We shall see.

She is still having 4 bottles a day and three meals, but we are going to go down to three bottles soon.
She loves standing and bouncing in her crib.
She loves trips to Target, and the store for that matter.
She loves PEOPLE!!!! she is soo social!

and LOVES to dance and wave at everything!!

Tess has 3 teeth now. two bottoms, one top. We are wondering where the other front top tooth is???:)
Sleeps from 6pm-6:30ish am and then back to sleep for about an hour after her morning bottle.

 Two naps still. around 9:45 and 1:45 both about an hour long.
 my has this little girl grown. Here she is at one week.

Tessa' First Christmas Part II

So after Christmas Eve with Joey's side of the fam, we made a quick little pit stop at church and off to Arroyo Grande to see Omi, Poppy, Annabelle, Auntie Em, and Teeko. We got there around midnight and went straight to sleep to gear up for Christmas morning!!!!

 Lots of snuggles with Elroy.
We all enjoyed the morning there before we headed to LA mid day to be with Mair Mair and Bobbo and cousins. The day after Christmas we rose at the crack of dawn to get ourselves to Disneyland where we spent the day with the O'Neil Family! We had the most wonderful time, While Tess spent the day with Laura and Omi at downtown Disney and napping in the Grand California.

We left La the 27th and stayed until the 29th in A.G. before making our way back to Lodi, to meet Jude Fairchild (who was just a few hours old!)

Tess had the most enjoyable Christmas season. Thanks to all who made it so lovely for her... and US!!!:)

Anyways, we spent Christmas Eve at our house with Joey's whole side of the fam. April and Ben came up from San Diego and I believe there were 15 of us here for dinner. Then Caleb and Tess opened gifts and had a ball. So cute! We had a wonderful night.
