I brought Tessa over to their house recently and she was in top form for the first meeting with Grandpa S. She just laid in his arms and stared at him for a good half hour, making all her cooing and gurgling noises that all adults attribute to one supremely happy baby. I, the proud mother, beamed the entire time.
My sister got in the way in this picture. hehehehe
I borrowed my mom's Christmas present to take these next photos. We'll be investing in Proactiv for this little munchkin. Mama can't have a pretty baby with nasty skin, because all I want to do is pick at it. Awful, I know. So sue me.
She didn't like that I was making fun of her acne.
As all babies do, Tess started to squirm and fuss when she needed a change of scenery, so into Grandma D's arms she went. Now, Grandma D birthed 10 babies of her own, tended countless others in her home, and ensures she travels anywhere she needs to go to meet and greet any latest editions of grandbabies (she's up to 19). To be brief, she has a knack with children. She has come over so many times when Tessa is fussing (always when Jeopardy is on - grrr!) and has taken her in her arms, whispered something in her ear, and voila. All is quiet again. I don't know how she does it. Maybe she promises to slip her some chocolate later, I dunno. In any case, it's such a blessing. Here she is working her magic. These are the first recorded smiles of TKR. She was about 5 weeks old.
I apologize for the plethora of pictures, but come on, I'm a new mom, and that's what we do. It might wear off, but I make no promises - I'm totally in love with my child.

I think your parents are fabulous too!!
LOVE all the pictures--don't apologize for it! She is adorable!!
Hee, hee, she's getting a look of her own besides "newborn". It's so cute. When I get sick of looking at pictures of her, I will excercise my agency and not look, no apologies needed. Until then - keep 'em coming!!
I love the photos of your dad holding Tessa. He's just so cute with babies. And your mom, yes, she is the "baby whisperer." If she cant get a baby to stop crying, then no one can! I sure miss them both. Those photos bring back lots of sweet memories. You don't need to apologize to us for all the pictures. Save your apologies for your future children who will never have as many photos as Tessa.
I'm seriously in love with Tess. You can keep posting pictures of her and I will LOVE it. She's beautiful!!
I love greandparent w/grandbaby photos. My g-parents lived in Canada & had all passed away by the time I was about 10. I have few memories and even less photos of me with them, so take a ton!
What a doll! I can't wait to meet this little princess. You're Mom came after Ethan was born, and spent an entire night cooing and calming his colicky (sp?) little body. It was the last time I slept through the night.
Well not really, but it sure feels like it.
Allison, baby acne goes away, I've never met a baby that didn't get it, and I did pick some of Christians and I'll show you his little scars ;o(. At least he's a boy...
SO cute! No apologies necessary...that's just part of being a Mom. Those photos with your Dad are priceless.
I love your parents! So of course I love those photos of your mom and dad with Tessa...especially the one where Deanne's working her magic! Such a gift!
