Tessa will be 6 months old a week from tomorrow, and I had to include this picture to show how much she has changed. Amazing! We brought her home from the hospital on Aug. 2. It seems like just yesterday!

A very merry Christmas
Tessa had a wonderful first Christmas! Christmas Eve was spent at my Aunt Tammy's house in Spring Valley, MN. Uncle Dave and cousins Klarissa and Klysen were there, as well as Aaron, Jessica and Kory. And the Schoppers' dog, Max, of course. We had a great time, and as always, it went by too quickly! We drove to Minneapolis later Christmas Eve to spend a few days at Aaron and Jessica's. Poor Tessa had a few rough nights. Her schedule being thrown off and her being in so many new environments made her fussy (mostly at night). I know she enjoyed spending time with family, though. She's good around different people. And she did very well at our family photo shoot at the Walker Art Center in Mpls. (It was part of my Mom's Christmas gift.) Some of those pictures are attached. Tessa also got to meet great-grandma Marge, great-uncle Tom (Kathryn, Kaitlin, Kerry & Danny), and great-uncle Matt, who made a surprise visit from North Carolina. The Saturday after Christmas, we went to Albert Lea to see Grandpa & Grandma, Matt & Natalie and Eric & Christina. Tessa had fun playing with all her new toys. She also received some really cute clothes. Thanks to everyone for the wonderful gifts!
A few weeks before Christmas, Tessa rolled over for the first time! And she's been busy rolling over ever since (but only on her left side). We have noticed that she has been sticking her butt in the air during tummy time, which we think might be a precursor to crawling. She has been able to get up on her knees a few times. She just needs to get stronger.
Tessa has also exercised what I like to call her squeal of delight. It's quite a squeal. I think it's borderline little girl screech. :) She has her 6-month checkup soon. I can't believe it – she's almost half a year old! She'll begin eating baby food soon.
Tessa's fighting another nap ... gotta go!
