Future Man

Tessa met one of her future husbands last night, Miles. He is the very handsome and laid back son of Aric and Claire. His mellow and chill attitude will definitely be a nice off-set to Tessa's 'All Jacked Up' life style. She also loved meeting her crazy Aunt Aly (who makes funny noises and faces like her mommy). I think Tessa is going to be a lot like me and Aunt Chris and Aly.............COOKY!

COLD

It's REALLY cold and windy outside. got to keep my little bug warm.

Back to Work

Well, I enjoyed a wonderful week with my best friend from Germany, Nata. We had such a great time and literally single handedly boosted the entire US Economy with all the shopping we did. You'll proably notice a little blip in the stocks. Yup, that was us. The North Georgia Premium Outlet Mall ROCKS!!!!!

Tessa is really talking a lot. She loves to play in her activity center and beats the crap out of the thing that makes all the animal sounds and names (in english AND spanish). I thought mike was hammering something, but alas, it was my little bug. My little Schatzie also learned a lot of German while Nata was here.

Up All Night

Tessa woke up at 1:00am and would not go back to sleep no matter what I tried. We fed her.....that didn't work. Rocked her....that didn't work. Finally we brought her into our bed and let her lay down with us. I have company right (Nata from Germany - YEAH) now and didn't want her to wake up. She fell asleep in our bed. It's the first time since she was born that she has slept in the best us. After about an hour I picked her up and put her in her crib, and OF COURSE she started crying again. So as soon as I picked her back up again she fell asleep. I sat downstairs on the couch for a while, but then I got cold and my arm was tired. So I went back upstairs (this is around 5:30am) and propped meself up on pillows and let her sleep in my arms. As you can imagine I was pretty tired and frustrated. Around 6:30am I finally got up, got dressed and then nursed her. When I was done nursing her she looked up at me and gave me one of her huge toothless grins and my heart totally melted.

I love my little bug. Hopefully I'll get some sleep tonight.

By the way, Happy Birthday Grandpa Snapdragon!!!!!!!!

Teasers

I took Tessa to a photographer last Friday and these were the little 'teasers' she posted on her web site. I'll send out e-mails when she gets all the pictures posted.

Daycare

Tessa is doing really well in day care. Ms Marlena does such a great job keeping the infants. She's teaching them sign language and reads them lots of fun books. When the weather is nice, they but the bouncy chairs outside in the playground and blow bubbles, which the babies LOVE to watch. It REALLY makes it easy to transition to work with her day care being so close. I can go and visit her anytime I want. Everytime I go visit or pick her up, she always laughing and playing with her feet.

FUNNY Weekend

We had a really fun weekend. I took these two video clips and HAD to post them. There is one of her belly laughing, it was so cute I was literally in tears. And the other one is of her in her bath tub, which she just LOVES. We always have to detail the entire bathroom when she's done because she splashes water everywear. She's my little water bug.

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween.  Tessa was a lobster, Mommy was a cat, and Daddy was a..........construction worker?  We went to Sandy Springs and celebrated with 'Hood.  Vicki and Casey had an awesome set up as usual.  Dad (aka Jose Cuervo) bought Rita.  Nothing like drinking ice cold margaritas when it's ice cold outside.  Omi was dressed as a REAL Sandy Springs Housewive, but people kept saying she looked like Lucy.  

Then today we had a get together with all of the Yoga Momma's and their baby daddy's.  I'll post some of those pictures when they e-mail them out.  We had all the kids in their costumes in one shot, it was SOOOOOO cute.
