Being a Mom is the greatest yet the most exhausting thing I've ever done in my whole life! Until you are a mom you have no idea how much work it actually takes to care for a baby. On a daily basis I probably change 15-20 diapers, she has a bit of an issue with blowouts haha and I think the loads of laundry doubled when she came along . We go through two to three outfits a day and I feed her ALL DAY everyday! There are no quick runs to the grocery store because you have to pack the baby in and I don't like to run into the gas station anymore because I can't leave her in the car. I have to plan when I'm going to clean the house so that I don't have to stop and feed her while I'm doing it. Bringing a baby into the world is a huge adjustment but it's the best thing I have ever done and I can't even begin to describe how much I love my baby girl. She has brought so much happiness and joy into our lives and despite all the diapers, laundry, crying, feeding it is all completely worth it. There isn't anything in the world I wouldn't do for that sweet girl. I'm beyond blessed to be able to be her Mom and I love her more and more everyday. Seeing her smile is probably the best thing in this world; my heart melts when she looks at me with those big blue eyes and smiles from ear to ear. There are days when its hard because Cory is gone all day and I'm not by my family but there is nothing better than being a wife and Mom. Seeing Cory with Tess has made me love and appreciate him so much more. He is the best Daddy I could ever ask for for our children. I just feel so lucky to have my little family.

Tessa's Blessing
Tessa Tae Baum was blessed by her daddy on June the 2nd. It was such a special day and I'm so grateful for my amazing husband for being able to bless her. He gave her such a wonderful blessing and she was so good during it. It was so fun to have our some of our family and friends there. My parents were able to come out and I'm beyond thankful for that. It meant the world to me that they were able to make it for her blessing.
Our beautiful little girl
I love these two so much!!!
She will only smile for pictures when she doesn't know the camera is on her the little stink!
Haha I love all of her rolls

3 Months
I can't believe how fast our little girl is growing, time just goes by way too fast! It seems like yesterday we were walking into the hospital to have her and now she is already three months old, CRAZY!! We love her so much and we are so blessed to have her in our home.
Fun things about Tess:
-She is starting to hold on to things, especially my hair
-She is really ticklish
-Her legs are staring to get really strong
-Her hair on top doesn't stand up anymore
-She has a cute little bald spot on the back of her head
-She still is throwing up at night and it makes me so sad :(
-She smiles at Daddy when he comes home from work
-She is starting to stick out her tongue. When Cory and I stick out our tongue and make noises she tries to copy us
-She has found her toes and is always grabbing them
-She sleeps for about 9:30-7 and goes back to sleep till around 10
-She still loves TV. When she is eating she turns her head around so she can watch it
-She eats ALL DAY! Since she throws up so easy I never try to make her finish eating if she doesn't want to so after she is "done"eating she will eat about thirty minutes later. It feels like she is never done eating but it's better then her throwing up all the time
-She is getting better at nursing
-She is really smiley in the mornings and at night but she is getting more smiley throughout the day
-Still sleeping in the bouncer
-When she is tired she loves to have her face tickled, it puts her right to sleep
