Tessa Lyn Walker

Chloe and Grandpa watching Tessa get her first bath

A proud daddy!!

We are very happy to announce the birth of our daughter Tessa. She was born on Monday, December 1st, weighing 7 lbs 4 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. I know the name is throwing everyone off becasue it is not Charlie or Lily but we decided that Tessa just fit better. I liked the name Tessa at the first of my pregnancy but Christopher did not. About a month ago I told Christopher that we really needed to decide on a name. We were not sure that we really loved either of our names. I asked him again if he liked Tessa and he did. I don't know what changed his mind but we love it. Tessa is such a blessing to our family. Just today I was holding her and thinking that we have only had her in our family for 6 days but what would we ever do without her. She is such a sweet baby. Totally different from Chloe. Not that Chloe was not a sweet baby becasue she was but Tessa is really calm and is a great sleeper. I know that will probably will change but we can take advantage of that now. Chloe LOVES being a big sister. She is so sweet with Tessa. She wants to know where she is at all times and is always kissing her and telling her that she loves her. I thought she would have a much harder time but she is handling it very well. We will see how things go tomorrow when Christopher and my mom have to go back to work. More to come!
