Tessa's One Year Pictures!

Tess is usually such a HAM in front of the camera but for some reason she didn't really want to smile but I think she's adorable anyway. There were so many cute pictures to choose from that I decided to put several on here...

Wow! It's Been a Whole Year! Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Tess is getting to be so big. Gone is the little baby who would let me cuddle and hold her. She is SO close to walking but she's a bit of a scaredy cat! She will realize that she is balancing on her own and get a big frowny face and sit herself down on her bum. What a little stinker! She will, however, push this little stroller all over the place!


In this picture she is showing me that she is ONE!
She always has a little crooked smile. She puts her bottom teeth to the side of her top ones all the time.
Our sweet little girl turned ONE on February 25, 2011! We had a small birthday party for her at our house. Unfortunately, she has been sick so we didn't feel that she would be in the mood for a big party that night. Here she was contemplating opening these presents...
Ah ha! Finally!
Here is her lady bug cake. She got to eat the head for her own little cake!

She was SO NOT sure about digging into that thing! She was being such a girly girl. She did not want to get dirty at all!
She kept trying to eat the cake without having to actually touch it. Silly girl!
See what I mean... She hated being dirty!
Look at those sad eyes- you can tell she didn't feel very well!
After her bath to get cleaned up- she played with her cousin Creeson for a little bit. The dads kept holding them up high and bouncing them towards each other. They would laugh and laugh- it was SO cute!
I am seriously flabbergasted that a whole year has passed since she was born! We have enjoyed each and every minute of having her in our home. She has made our family feel whole and complete! We absolutely adore this chubby little baby- who is not so much of a baby anymore! She cruises around the house, crawling not walking. She still loves food but has lost a bit of her appetite since becoming sick. This was her first illness! We were very lucky to make it a whole year illness free with her! She does a lot of little "tricks." She puts her finger in her mouth and pulls it out to hear the "pop" noise. That's also how she blows kisses. She loves peek-a-boo, and waving at everyone! She has six teeth and loves to use them- ouch! She likes to play with her hair when she lays down to take a bottle. She is pretty much bottle free now. She has one occasionally in the morning or night but she has pretty much weaned herself from the bottle. Whew- one less thing we have to worry about! She is so smily and happy! We love, love, love her!!!
