Grand Lake 2011

We had our annual Grand Lake trip and Tucker and Tess had a blast. Tess spent little time on the boat due to the fact that she REALLY disliked having to wear a life jacket. Tucker liked hanging out on the boat and got to go tubing. Jason and I got to spend lots of time wake-boarding and surfing.

July in Review

We traveled to Maud for the 4th of July. We ended up driving the evening of the 4th so we got to see some fireworks from the car ride. Jason stayed home from work on the 5th and got to see Tess crawl for the first time! She hasn't slowed down one bit and is now getting into EVERYTHING! She's also pulling up. Most days when she wakes up first thing in the morning or after a nap she can be found standing in her crib with a big toothy grin on her face. She really likes playing on top of and/or next to her brother.
Meggie came to visit and took Tucker to see his first movie in the theater (actually he had been to one when he was just a few months old, but I'm still calling this one his first). Tess and I tagged along also, but Tess made it through the previews and then started fussing. So we hung out in the lobby for awhile and then decided to pick up Jason and go to lunch with him. Tucker and Meggie enjoyed Cars 2 in 3D (Tucker didn't want anything to do with the glasses).

June in Review

In June we watched Tess try really hard to crawl, but she just got the rocking on all fours down. Tucker was being very sweet with Tess and loved to give her rides around and around her exersaucer.

Tess 6 Month Pics

Liz with Eliz Alex Photography took some beautiful pictures of Tess in the meadow. This session was so much fun, and much anticipated. We had scheduled this shoot a couple of times but the weather was just not cooperating but we finally had a beautiful day to capture a few moments with sweet baby Tess.

May In Review

In May, we potty trained Tucker. Over Memorial Day weekend we put big boy underwear on him, and he hasn't worn a diaper since. It wasn't extremely smooth, but it was successful.
Tess hit the 6 month mark in May, and she weighed in at 15 lbs 4 oz and measured 25 1/2 in, 50th percentile all around. She started eating plenty of solid foods including squash, sweet potato, blueberries, apples, and carrots.
