Oh, Tess….

Sweet, precious little thing.  I can’t believe this niece of mine is already NINE months old!!!  She is so much fun!  When her big brother Tallon was this age he was living half a country away and we really didn’t even know him.  I am SO thankful that they are back and we have had the joy of knowing Tess, literally from the first moments of her life.  Tess is a gorgeous baby girl with great big eyes, great big cheeks, and great big chunky baby THIGHS!!!  Oh, I could eat her thighs up!!!  I know that she will be walking soon and those precious little rolls will be gone, but right now they are one of my favorite things in life.  It’s simply impossible to look at her chubby baby legs and feet (yes, she even has chubby feet!) and not smile.  Tess also has a great big personality.  Her momma is by far her favorite person in the world and she will most definitely let you know when she’s been without her too long.  She also loves her big brother and big cousins and they keep her entertained with their craziness.  She sits back and laughs and “baby screams” at them.  And she’s starting to get pretty curious about the other new little baby girl in the family, Sweet Caroline.  It’s so funny to watch her sit there and stare with a quizzical look on her face.  You can almost here her thinking “Hey, you’re more my size and you’re around here a lot.  I think I might like you.”  I know they will be the best of friends very soon!  Baby Tess, we ADORE you, Sweet Girl!!  Even if you do cry for us in the studio. 😉
