Two months old today!

Tess is two months old today! At her 7 week appointment (on May 16), she weighed in at 12 lbs, 8 oz and was 23" long. At her 10 week appointment (on June 6), she weighed in at 13 lbs, 9 oz and was 24" long. She is growing like a weed! As you can see, she is developing a personality and definitely has a mind of her own (wonder where she got that from??!).

Tess' first Tiger game!

Since Tess missed Opening Day, she was anxious to get to her first game - especially since she had her outfit ready to go. She was pumped about this particular game since it was a rematch of the 2006 World Series v. St. Louis (which she happily attended in utero). Good thing the Tigers won this time. She kept asking for a hot dog but we had to tell her no. Silly girl. Maybe next time.

Getting bigger everyday!

Tess is seven weeks old today and growing and changing all the time. It's amazing! She smiles a lot and coos in different ways each day. Yesterday, she weighed in at 12 lbs, 8 oz and is now 23 inches long.

One of her new favorite things is going for walks in the Bjorn carrier. She loves to face forward and look around. She is alert and constantly moving her head to look around. Although you'd better watch out if we stop for some reason (can you say slow poke Norman bringing up the rear?!) because she gets mad!

Tess' first vacation

Tess said that she needed a change of scenery so we packed up the car (and I mean PACKED UP the car) and headed up north to Petoskey for a few nights. Whether it was restful or not, we still aren't sure, but it was good "family time" (although Norman adamantly objects as he was left behind).

Tess enjoyed shopping with Mom and was quite proud of herself when she ruined her first dinner for Mom and Dad by having a meltdown at the restaurant. We quickly told the waitress that we'd be needing some boxes to go!

Tess' first (real) smiles!


Tess started smiling today. So fun!! She loves to lay on her changing table. Today, when I was changing her, she started to smile! I got the camera as soon as I could. It was tough to get a good shot because she would move her head each time in excitement. She even cooed a few times.

Tess and Kadie - BFFs!

Tess has hit the social circuit! Here are some pictures of Tess and her new BFF, Kadie, at their first play date. Kadie was much more ready to play than Tess. They are going to be their Dads' worst nightmares come age 16 and they want the car keys for a night out! Yikes!
