Tessa LoU at 3 months

She's growing like a weed!! Tess turned 3 months on 12/23/10. Her last doctor appointment was at 2 months and her next one is at 4 months old. She was almost 11 pounds at 2 months and she sure has grown since then. It will be fun to see her girth...I mean growth. Her baby rolls are adorable and mom and dad are happy to see her so healthy! She continues to be a wonderful and sweet baby girl! She already wants to stand, sit up and watch the world around her. She likes watching her big brother who adores her. She enjoys nap time, lunch time and bath time, in that order. Luckily, for mom, she is already a mama's girl! Her smiles including her one dimple are captured in her 3 month photos:

Happy Holidays 2010!

Cousin Camaraderie

As always, I am a step behind.
Not only was Thanksgiving a thankful time with both sides of the family, but Aunt Claire and Cousin Liam blessesd us with their visit in South Bend and Chicago during the Turkey Day Holiday.

Alex and Liam enjoyed the Chicago Children's Museum:

Like Daddy like kiddies

The photos below are a repeat from the newborn Alex days but I wanted to show the resemblances between Daddy and his offspring. When Alex was born many moons ago, he resembled his daddy alot..and it is is fun to see how Tess weighs in too!
