four months

tess is 4 months old.  actually, she's nearly FIVE months old - whew!  time sure flies when babies are happy.  we've had so much fun these past few months.  she's turned into this giggly, wiggly, drooly little (chubby) baby girl!  

she can't keep her hands, fists, fingers, thumbs outta her mouf!  poor thing.  she sprouted a tooth a few weeks back; she rolled over this past tuesday night, and she's tasted her first few tablespoons of rice cereal.  i kinda forgot how much they grow and change in this first year.  so many milestones in such a short amount of time.    

i'm sure i've said it 1,000 times, but she loves her brother dearly.  and, that's not to say she doesn't love her big sis, it's just that, well, dyl is three.  and, she's a tad nuts.  and, she doesn't know when to calm down; in her face, poking, being too loud, too crazy, and well, baby t lets her know to move it along!  i know that before long, these two stunners will be tag-teaming on big bro, but until then, it's the brown-haired beauties against the red.

 great grandma & tess

not a fan of the rice cereal, just yet.

tess loves her little einstein exersaucer.  she spend time jumping, staring at the many colorful hanging rings and hitting the music buttons.  she also has an activity mat to lay on, roll over on and drool all over.  she's already a mover, too - i find her spun 180 degrees or even off the mat at times.  of all my babies, she's been super-happy during tummy time.  it's fun to see the similarities and compare differences!  they definitely look like siblings, but they are their own special being.  and, i can't believe how much i love them all.  my heart is overflowing.
