It's begining to look a lot like Chirstmas!

Well Thanksgiving is over and the fun of Christmas is here. Yesterday we set up the tree and put Christmas lights on the outside of the apartment. Tessa Has been uninterested in the decorations except that the lights and tree seem to capture her attention. We even went to the Tempe light parade, it was fun and Tessa was good until the parade started, I think it was just too loud and too much going on, she finally fell asleep about the time the parade ended. It was fun anyway











Tessa was really excited for Black Friday, so much so that she decided to eat the ad.

We also started trying to feed her Rice Cereal, The Doctor said to start so that she gets used to the idea of trying to eat something off a spoon and swallowing. The first attempt was quite funny and so being the compassionate person I am I decided to tape it!!!!

TIME IS FLYING BYE

I can't believe that it is Thanksgiving already! I am looking forward to having a few days off. Mark will be able to take Wed. off and spend it with Tessa. Some quality father-daughter time!! Our Thanksgiving Day is completely booked. We will be attending 3 dinners and then coming home to crash. I really hope that Tessa does okay with it being such a crazy day!
Tessa is now 4 months and ever changing. She has two bottom teeth coming in and luckily has not been fussy. Mark and I didn't even know that she had them coming in until Grandma Foote said something. Tessa is also rolling just about anywhere she wants which is fun. She has a beautiful smile and an adorable laugh. She's a keeper!
Mark and I are staying busy with work, church, and Tessa. Unfortunately, Mark will not be working with the City of Mesa after Jan. 9th due to budget cuts. Mark and I were really disappointed but we know that everything will be okay. He is currently looking for other jobs. On a happier note, Mark and I went on a date this past weekend. It was nice to get away for a few hours and just be with each other.
Well, I hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Halloween

Tessa's first Halloween was lots of fun (even if she didn't know what was going on). We went to a church dinner and then made the rounds to see family. But when 7:30 came Tessa was ready for her bath and bed. Tessa was a flower for her first Halloween. I got the idea off the internet and my mom helped me with the sewing since I don't sew. She didn't mind the costume but every once in a while her hat would fall down and she would start to eat the flowers. Mark thought that Tessa shouldn't have worn the hat and just gone as a weed because she is growing out of her 3to 6 month clothes. All-in-all it was a nice first holiday with our daughter.
