PLACE TO GO WITH DADDY?:  To the store, like you. (Now I feel a little better...)

DRINK? Pepsi.  (pretty sure you don't drink Pepsi much, but I'm just writing down what you tell me).


TREAT? The treat we always get. ("What treat we always get?")  The treat that is flat.  (I still have no idea) 

PLACE TO VISIT? Grandma's house.

BOOK? The store books.  ("the books from the library?) Yeah.

Not long after your birthday you ended up getting sick.  This was my first real test of trying to keep you away from a baby brother you LOVE to smother.  For about 2 days straight I spent the majority of my time saying things like, "Tess, stay away from your brother!" and "Tess, don't cough on your brother!"  It pretty much went in one ear and out the other, as evidenced by you saying "Ok mom!" and then truning back to cough on Tyson, but we were able to keep anyone else from getting sick.  That was nice because you still get SUPER wheezy when you are sick, adn I spend the whole time giving you albulterol nebs and trying to decide if I need to take you to the doctor or not.  Poor sick girl...

We went camping to Pine Lake for Father's Day and Logan's birthday, and you and Logan sure had a good time.  I took you and Logan down to the lake one afternoon when Ty and dad were taking naps.  I thought about having you guys change into shorts and flip flops before we left, but then I decided you probalby wouldn't get in the water.  Well yeah, I was wrong.  I had just helped Logan take his shoes off when I turned around to see you standing in the water in your shoes and socks.  Oh well!

We've finally been able to get out and enjoy the park a few times, and one day I even was a super cool mom and bought you guys Lunchables to have a picnic with.  It was so cute to see you and Logan sitting together eating lunch and soaking up the sun.

Just this last weekend we went to the Fish Lake cabin with Grandma and Grandpa H.  You and Logan are a fan of this cabin becasue of the little stream that runs just a few feet away.  I need to crop this picture a little better, but I think it is a cute picture of you and Grandpa hanging out together.

And my little Tessa girl with her shoes off already.  You're definitely your momma's child because any time you walk in the door or get where you are going your shoes come right off.

You've thrown a few pretty good fits this month, even giving yourself a bloody nose as we were getting ready to leave for the cabin, but overall I think we'll keep you.  How could we not love a little girl whose favorite color is sparkly?

Love you sis,
Mom
