She did it!!!!

Now, I know that I shouldn't get too excited about this - but Tessa slept 8 hours last night! She didn't wake up until 6 a.m.!!! We were so thrilled and a little dazed at actually having 8 full hours of sleep - but I'm sure we'll get used to it again! Keep your fingers crossed that this wasn't a one time thing and that she does it again tonight since Grandma Simonsen is coming over to help baby-sit tomorrow!

YEAH!!!!!

Two months have flown by!

It doesn't seem possible that two months have already flown by! She has changed so much in the first two months and has gone from this little tiny baby to a much more vocal little girl who loves to eat! She has almost doubled her size - she is now a healthy 9lbs & 10oz. Dr. Mahoney was very pleased.

Everyone says that she looks more like Aaron - he thinks it's just because she has such chubby cheeks but we see both of us in her. Her hair is coming in longer and a little thicker but is definitely not jet black. Only time will tell!

I decided to take monthly pictures of her in the same 12-month onesie to watch her grow. (Thanks to the Martha Stewart show for this tip - watched it the day I went into labor - it was a sign!!!) The first picture if from February at 1 month old and the second one is March. She tolerates the picture taking for only so long so have to be quick about it. She is sitting in the infamous chair in her room. What fun it was picking out the fabric and then trying to fit it into the room!
