Using a big girl cup....

Tessa had her 6th month check up today. She's a healthy happy baby and growing so big. She weighs 14lbs 9.5oz and is just shy of 26 inches tall....still growing like a weed. The Dr. told us that she is ready to start using a sippy cup. So, tonight when we got home, we had her try. To my surprise, she got the hang of it pretty fast.

For the longest time Tess has hated her tummy time...and I mean hated! However, this last week or so, she has really started to enjoy it. She has also started to bring her legs up and push herself forward....ready or not here she comes. She is determined to crawl. She definitely has both dad and mom's type "A" stubborn personality! When she can't get to her toys she gets mad and tries even harder. It's pretty cute to watch.

It's amazing how fast they change. She seems to learn something new everyday. Every moment is so precious. One of my favorite saying is Carpe Diem (seize the day) it is so true when you have a little one.
