Tess at 5 months

Tessie turned 5 months old at the end of October, so I've been meaning to post something "official" about it. Here's a little milestone,,,we tried to have her first sitting up bath....




...it didn't go to well. She's still pretty slumpy when sitting up, she leans forward really badly, so I had to help her out after a few minutes. Mostly she seemed pretty bewildered by the whole thing. We'll try again in a few weeks. She also rolled over from back to front the other day, and it was really funny because she hates being on her belly. So she would roll over, and then immediately start to fuss about being on her belly. I'd roll her back, and then she'd roll over and start to fuss again.

Tess is still an angel baby. She's incredibly sweet tempered and very doted on. She rarely cries, and rarely needs to with so many people in this house ready to pounce when she makes the slightest noise. She's very vocal like Maria was as a baby, loves to chatter, and I'm sure she'll be an early talker like Maria was.
