Thanksgiving and more!

So much has happened in a week! First off, I forgot to post Tessa's 3 month shot of her against her bear. The bear doesn't look so big anymore. This week was my first week back at work. It was very hard for me to leave her, but I know I left her in good hands. Tessa's cousin Jack took extra special care of her. He has taken to her and wants to help his mommy care for her. It is so precious to see how concerned he is for her welfare.

Then on Tuesday, we were blessed with another cousin. Grace Rebekah Morgan was born in North Carolina. We are sad that we can't be there to welcome her into the world, but we are sending kisses and hugs from afar! We can't wait to meet you!

This weekend we also celebrated our first Thanksgiving as a family of three. We are so thankful for so many things this year, especially our precious little girl. Here she is in her "I'm Stuffed" Thanksgiving outfit. Previously we had stuck her in a pumpkin. This holiday we did not think it was a good idea to stick her in a turkey :-)
We had lots of time with family over the last few days and are so thankful for them all.

We wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

3 Months and counting...

Today our little one is officially 3 months old. We can't even believe that this much time has already passed. She has changed so much in such a short time. She is doing better holding her head up.

We have found that she loves bath time....just not the part where she has to get dressed after.

She finally grew out of her bassinet and is now sleeping in the play yard. This was the photo we took of her before taking the bassinet out. As you can see, she doesn't fit too well. I just love the expression on her face though.

Daddy takes advantage of picture opportunities...like here with our Mr. Bingley.
She is now big enough to sit in her sling. She seems to like the closeness.
Lastly, she has learned to giggle. Her precious little laugh is so contagious. She often responds to funny faces.
Unfortunately Mommy goes back to work on Monday. I have been blessed with 14 weeks of maternity leave. Despite the fact that it will be nice to begin receiving a paycheck once again, it is so hard to think of the moments I will miss with my little one. Lucky for me I am only working 4 hours a day. Hopefully I won't miss out on to much. Looking forward to our first Christmas as a family of three! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Fall in Arizona!

Our family loves the Fall season. Because we live in Arizona, we typically do not get to see much change in the season. This year we decided to make our own Fall. Tessa's Grammy made a Fall scene out of pumpkins and flowers. We even were able to get a picture or two in with Tessa's cousin Mia.


Tessa's other grandmother, Mimi, wanted to put Tessa in a pumpkin. She was able to find a pumpkin large enough to fit our growing girl. (Who has now reached 14 pounds!) Here she is with clothes on...
...and without
Tessa seemed to like clothes on a little better while being stuffed in a pumpkin. Happy Fall everyone!
