Go Cubs Go! & Working Out

I have been looking online for months for a Derrek Lee t-shirt for Tessa. David and I both have Lee jersies. I did find a little Lee jersey a while ago, but I wasn't about to pay $58 for a jersey for Tessa that she will grow out of in a few months. Strike 1. I looked online, and I finally found the t-shirt I had been looking for, but they only had it in 12 mo size, the 18 mo & 24 mo sizes were sold out. Strike 2. Then a couple weeks ago, I was shopping with Tanya, my sister in law, (and Tessa, of course), and we went into The Fan's Edge in the mall and they had a whole new stock of baby Cubs stuff, and I found it! They had a Lee Cubs t-shirt that was in her size. I was so excited!!! It makes it even more fun that I have the exact same one, just my size of course. I wouldn't dream of raising my daughter any other way that to bleed Cubbie blue!

The newest addition to her Cubs collection came this weekend. David had to go to church on Saturday because he was on worship team. Apparently, he had made a few other stops on his way there. When we saw him after church, he had a surprise for Tessa. He found a soft leather Cubs baseball and bat. She loves it! She mostly likes to put them in her mouth, she chomps on the bat like a dog on a bone, and she likes to stick the ball in her mouth and just go. That's how she gets it around. She looks awfully cute. My sweetie pie!!!

Today, after I took the Cubs pictures, Tessa and I were playing upstairs in our den. It's a mess right now because when she's up there, she likes to pull all the books and dvds off the shelves, so I have given up putting them back up there because she just pulls them down again. Anyway, our treadmill is in the den also. After watching her today, I realized how much she really pays attention to what we do and I really saw how our healthy habits are going to rub off on her in the future. She climbed up onto the treadmill and she crawled on the track all the way to the front, then she turns around and crawled to the back, then would stop and turn around and crawl to the front, and so on and so forth. She did this probably 10 times, back and forth, back and forth. She was really trying to go on the treadmill. Keep on going baby!
