Tessa these days....

This sweet little darling is 9 and 1/2 months old and is doing so many new things.  She had her 9 month check up last week and weighed in at 21 lbs. and 28 inches.  She is in the 95 % and doing great.  She was great for the check up and didn't even flinch when they stuck her finger!  Not a peep!?  She's so brave.  

Currently, she is :
-crawling fast and everywhere
-pulling up all the time
-cruising the furniture
-can stand on her own for a few moments!
-pushes her walker toy all over the house
-can squat down to pic something up and stand back up without holding on!  Impressive, I know!:)
-loves playing "put it in, take it out, put it in, take it out"
-loves practicing give and take with objects
-says Mama!!!  Yay:) and still says Dada, Auda (some), and various other babbles
-waves hello a lot.  it's adorable.  She sticks her arm out and opens and closes her hand over and over.  I especially love when she waves at me in the morning when I pick up her out of her bed.  
-does not like to have any toy or object taken away from her.....look out.  the girl has learned how to throw a fit. 
-loves her blankie and MUST have it if she is fussy...it's like an off button in the evenings when she is getting tired.  love that blankie!
-still has two teeth and we are expecting more soon
-loves to self feed.  she is not such a fan of being fed.  she is independent in that regard. but it is hard at times, because those two teeth can't handle all she wants to feed herself!  
-she loves peas.....loves them!
-she loves bread
-phones and remotes are the best toys ever in her opinion
-she lights up when she sees her sister
-she is like an alligator trying to roll when you attempt to change her diaper.  I have been known to give up and leave her diaper-less for a short period.  It always ends in pee on the floor. She is SO HARD to change though.
-she loves bath time and is all over that tub!  she climbs over her sister, she stands, she dives for toys....she's all over that tub!
-she loves to swing
WE LOVEY LOVEY LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!


and something I have really been noticing lately is the resemblance between my two girls.  Below is a picture of Audrey at around 7 months I think.  They favor each other for sure.  Tessa's cheeks are fuller, Audrey's hair longer, but they look so much alike to me!  I can so vividly remember this moment below with Audrey.  I remember having gotten her up from nap and her eyes looked so sleepy still and she was just smiley and sweet and oh so sleepy looking.  It's amazing how much they change and grow. Although, Audrey still has this same look when she wakes up.....I love it.  I love them.
