Happy 11 month Birthday Tessa Charlotte!

Wow, I never thought we would be here. We are one month away from celebrating our first year with Tessa. It is unbelievable to me how fast the time has gone by. This has been such a wonderful month. We have so enjoyed the nice spring weather and getting to go outside and not be bundled up all the time. We've had fun wearing some new spring clothes and taking some nice outside trips. We celebrated Tessa's first Easter this month and had a great time doing it. We had the whole family here and got to do Easter egg hunts and color Easter eggs, and of course, getting all dressed up in her beautiful Easter dress was definitely a highlight. Tessa has become ultra-mobile this month. We have started having to push our ottoman up in front of the tv when she is awake so that she won't pull up and bang on the tv. It's a constant battle to pull her off of the end tables as she is attracted to them like a magnet and wants to pull everything off the tables that she can reach. She just wants to be "on the go" all the time. She has really started eating so many more foods too. She still eats some baby food, but loves to try all kinds of new table food, sunbutter & jelly sandwiches, grapes, grilled chicken, scrambled eggs, Gerber Lil' Crunchies, etc, and let's not forget all the inedible things that she has been trying to eat: her books, her crib, and any other little thing she finds on the floor. She has definitely turned into our little beaver. She'll chew on everything and anything that she can get a hold of. She is our sweet angel from Heaven and I could not imagine my life without her. In some ways, I look at the last 11 months and think, holy cow, time has gone by so quickly, then in other ways, I look at 11 months and think, "is that all?" It just seems like she has been with us forever. I don't remember what life was like before she came and changed us forever! Love you baby girl!
