Happy 8 Month Birthday Tessa!

Happy 8 month birthday baby girl! 8 months ago today you made your first appearance in this world. This has been such an exciting month of your life. You got to see a new year and a new decade come and all the celebrating that goes along with the new year. You went to your cousin Jack's 3rd birthday party, and dressed up for the John Deere theme. We had our first weekend on our own when Daddy took a trip with the youth group, we missed him, but we managed just fine. You also got to play out in the snow for the first time. You love to see all the new things in the world around you. Your biggest change this month is how much you are moving now! You started creeping a little bit when you were 7 1/2 months, and since then have been moving nonstop. You are even getting so close to crawling. Still no teeth baby girl! Where are they? It seems like you have been teething for months, but here we are, with your swollen gums, waiting for your teeth to come in. Even though you have no teeth, you are becoming very efficient in gumming your food. Mommy has started to give you bread and real veggies and jello, and you love every new taste that you can get. I love it that you are clapping all the time now and how you smile, laugh and jump around (in your jumperoo) when Mickey Mouse Clubhouse comes on. You are really turning into a real little person, and I love you with all of my heart! I can't wait to see what the next month of your life is like. You are my angel!!
