A little update on Tessa

A have been feeling a little guilty lately because many of my posts have been about Chloe lately. She has just been busy and Tessa is too young. I decided to do a little update on Tessa. Tessa is a woman on a mission. She cracks me up one minute and then the next I am so frustrated with her. She is in the stage that she wants to do EVERYTHING by herself. Well she is only 19 months old and can't do it. She screams and screams until I let her figure out that she really does need my help. She loves Chloe. She follows her around all day. The other day Chloe slept at Christopher's parents house. The next morning Tessa walked around the house yelling her name. She is lost without her.

The other night we went to the Raptor's game. All Tessa did was get on and off of the chair.
Tessa loves to eat. The other day she was having mac and cheese and she was putting the mac and cheese into her sippy cup (the lid was off because she wanted to do it herself but could not figure it out. It was not worth the fight she water was everywhere). She was so proud of herself. She ate every bit of mac and cheese, so I figure it did not matter how it got in her mouth, just that it did.

Tessa really likes sweets. This is new to me since Chloe will not eat any home baked treats.
Tessa loves her cousin Grace. They are so cute together. They get so excited to see each other.
Tessa also loves to dance.
The other day Tessa was eating lunch and she was so tired. The next thing I look over and she is sound asleep with her sandwich still in her hand.
Tessa I love you so much . You are a little stinker. You definitely have a mind of your own. I think you have hit the terrible two's at 18 months. Maybe you will grow out of it at 2 years. You are such a joy to me. I love being your mom and watching to see what funny thing you will do next.

I can't believe she fell asleep like that! So funny. Look like the 4th was great. Chloe looks so happy on her float. I was laughing so hard about what she said Jeff came in to see what was going on! That is hilarious!

We love you Tessa. This is my favorite stage, but it is such a pain too. She is so funny. I love the picture of Tessa and Grace - I'll need to get a copy.
