3 months

Tessie is almost 3 months old and she is doing great. She is already beyond many of the milestones expected for her age. (3 months and I'm already turning into "that" kind of mother. What can I say? I'm proud.) So, she is lifting her head up lots when she is on her stomach. She can sit propped up and still tries to stand. Our little genius has mastered rolling over from her back to her stomach- which makes us a little nervous. We have to really watch where we put her. At night I am learning that no matter how many times I flip her on her back, she is going to roll over to her stomach and sleep. She is SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT for most nights from about 10 or 11 until about 5 or 6 am. This makes everyone happy and ready to play when morning comes. She is cooing and gooing and has had a few real belly laughs at Daddy and Grandpa. Nothing compares to that.

We have done a couple of day trips including her first boating trip in New Hampshire (the lifejacket was bigger than her) and one to visit her cousin Sara and family in the Albany area. Her Aunt Terri watched her while Stephen and I went into Boston for a date on our 2nd Anniversary- I took a photo before we left too (of course). We have had some visitors from all over and are looking forward to more family coming the end of the month from Louisiana. Tessie and I are taking a trip away from daddy for a weekend with the college roomates in Long Island. That means even MORE photos.
