The BIG 1 and 1/2!

She has her daddy's smile! :)

My baby is one and a half! And I'm not kidding everyday she seems smarter. When she said "stroller" yesterday I almost starting crying (I'm pregnant remember) but because she's such a big girl. She's to that point where she says words and I realize that its the first time I've ever heard her say them. Her vocabulary is seriously bombing! My favorites right now..

• Me daddy pease (please)
• Kaykey (Kacey, the little boy she's in love with)
• Where it caw (asking where the caw "bird" is)
• Hopporn (popcorn)
• Ooore (more)

I was really hoping that her doctor would be impressed by her words and forget about her weight. She was not. In December Tessa weighed in at 19.4 lbs (my memory might be off an ounce) at her appointment last week she was a whopping 19 lbs. Yup.  This may not be the answer but I'm making a constant effort to keep something sweet hanging around our house (out of sight from Mitch) so I can bribe Tessa into taking another bite of her lunch or dinner. This way she can have ooore of the sweets when she has ooore of her food. I ruled out Mitch's idea of giving her lots of ice cream but realized my way is just an alteration of his.. so he can have all the credit. :)  Wish us luck.

Picture Update

Tessa enjoying a pretty sunset from our balcony. I LOVE our view.

 

These  were my V-day roses from Mitch. They made our house smell awesome.

These are all pictures from our trip to Vegas a couple weeks ago. It was a fun little get away from work and we spent it with friends and some family that I met for the first time! :)
