Pictures

I take a billion picture of Tessa a day so I thought I would put some on the blog.

5 Months

Five months, WHAT?! I don't know how it's possible that she is already five months. We always say that we wish we could just keep her at this stage (at every stage she is in) forever, but the truth is she is getting cuter by the day, if that's even possible! I was afraid I would get a wild child, which i'm sure we will, but she has been the best baby! The only thing that is hard about her is that she wont nurse so Mommy has to pump five times a day, boo!!! I complain about it all the time to Cory but honestly I'm so thankful that she is able to drink my milk.

Fun things about Tessa:

-She can sit up now

-Loves her sophie giraffe

-One of our favorite things she does is when she gives us a big smile and turns her head like she is embarassed, its so cute!

-She started eating rice cereal and she has ate sweet potatos for a few days now

-She has figured out about Bax and loves to grab him

-She rolls all over the place

-She loves to lay under our fan in our room and kick her feet and giggle

-She is still wearing 3-6 month clothes

-She sleeps great but I would love if she would sleep till eight or nine haha

-She takes about three 40 minute naps a day

-She loves her jumper and to chew on her toys while she is in there

-She loves to play peek a boo

-She thinks that everything has to go in her mouth

-She drools all the time but she still hasn't got any teeth in

-She still sleeping in her bouncer

-We don't swaddle her at nights anymore

-When she wakes up in the morning or at naps we can hear her chatting away and kicking her feet

4th of July trip to Utah

Tessa and I got to go to Utah for 10 days during the 4th of July. There is no place that celebrates the 4th like Richfield does. Cory loves to make fun of me for how much I love the 4th there but it will always be my favorite place to be on the 4th.

The second day I was there my Mom was getting ready for work and started to have a little chest pain but she thought it was all in her head. The rest of us went to my Grandma's and while we were there we got a phone call saying that something was wrong with my Mom and we need to hurry over to the ER. That was one of the scariest phone calls I have ever received because she works WAY too hard and WAY too much and I have been scared for so long that something bad was going to happen to her. I don't know what I would ever do without her. They did some tests and they found out that she had blood clots in one of her lungs.

As bad as it sounds it has turned out to be a good thing because it has made her realize that she needs to slow down and take better care of herself. I'm so glad I was there when it happened so that I could help take care of her like she taken care of me throughout my whole life.

Even though my Mom was sick and I missed my sweet husband terribly it was such a fun trip with the family. My cute little nephew Konner was baptized so I'm so thankful that I was able to be there for that. I know I always say this but I love being home with my family so much!!! Hopefully one day my cute little family will get to pack up and move out there but until then I will cherish every trip to Utah that I get.
