Tess Marie


This picture pretty much depicts the girl as of late.  She is angry and unhappy.  And yet, she brings me such joy. She is such a beauty with such a personality.  Let's talk a bit about why she's angry.

1. I stopped nursing her. She is officially weaned...and sooo mad about it.   She still begs daily even though it's been quite a few weeks since we've been done.   She doesn't really like to drink milk or anything else for that matter...except muscle milk.  Mike has introduced her the stuff and that's turned into her "boobstitute".  Not sure if that's the best choice for a one year old but it helps.

2. She's hungry. Because of said "weaning" I just think she is hungry a lot more and can't quite figure out how to fix the problem.  And she's stubborn so it has to be her idea if she's going to enjoy her meal. I tell you what, she's a pill.

3. She's teething.  She is working on 2 molars at the moment which I think are making her pretty miserable.

On a more positive note :) She is talking up a storm.  She loves the word "no" which is naughty.  She says mom, dad, buddy (payton), dinee (sydney), woo-woo (doggy), teet teet (birdy), hee hee (horsey), baby (she LOVES babies), fishy, more, nana (favorite food), cheese, baba (drink), book, shoe....I'm sure there's a few I'm missing.  She is walking/running everywhere and loving the pool.  She is going to bed really well and sleeping through the night.  She won't sit still to watch a movie or show.  She is a busy bee, starting to pull stuff out of the cupboards.  She has cute teeth...kinda looks like mater.  She has a whole mouthful, actually.  She loves her mom.  But is quite fond of her dad, too.  When she's in the mood, she loves to play with the kids.  She loves giving kisses, high fives and bump the rock.  She'll pretty much kiss anything that breathes.  We sure love her.  Little pistol and all.
