Well so much for our average temps of 55 in the winter! Does anyone remember our first Christmas that we stayed in Slidell, LA and didn't come home to Michigan?.... yeah, it snowed for the first time in a gazillion years! Well it seems that the snow loves The Carter Family and it follows us! Apparently there is a 7 and 23 year cycle here for snow. It's odd. Every 7 years they get a snow storm that produces around 6 inches of snow. And every 23 years they get a storm that gives them over 8 inches of snow. Like I said, and odd cycle. Well apparently they were due for the 23 year cycle.... and we got it!
We have around 6-8 inches of snow!!!! The roads closed down, there was a state of emergency issued! Well we just decided to stay home and play in it:)

Tessa @ 7 Months old
Tessa and Olivia's baby dolls, all of them are wearing TESSA'S old baby clothes!!!!!
She just had to investigate;)
I love the way he sits!
Deagan is my baby. Momma's little boy. But he's getting so big, so quickly. He's off to kindergarten next year:( And just in the past few months I've seen him "grow-up" so much. But then I see these little things and they make me smile.
Random pictures of the girls
Olivia and Tessa being silly girls!
Tessa's happy dance (she's flailing her arms)

Tessa's 6 month well visit... a little late
Well due to some insurance issues after our relocation, we finally went in today for her 6 month well visit.
She is 18 lbs, 14 oz and 27 1/4 inches long. She's a tall skinny girl:) (something that we've never known, we've only had short plump babies). I tried to look up Deagan's stats, but I couldn't find them quickly. However, I do know that at 6 months he was somewhere between 22-26lbs. hehehe, it was all in his mongo head!
She had to get FIVE shots. Painful to watch. Each individually. But she's a trooper and only cried for a short moment, then was just plain mad. She's got her Daddy's eyebrows and isn't afraid to use them:)
So in the past month or so, Tessa has undergone huge changes. Not only is she now mobile, but she's clapping, waving, eating cheerios and puffs, and pulling herself up on things. That girl loves to stand and cruise along on furniture. Olivia walked in her 9th month and Deagan the first week of his 10th. I thought for sure that Tessa would be later than Deagan- that it just wasn't her personality, but I think I'm WAY wrong. I think she just might beat out Olivia! This little chick is CRAZY. She'll stand up on things and just "let go" and fall backwards. Then she looks puzzled like "um, why didn't that work?" and she'll do it again. She's got good balance too. She scares me!!!!
Another HUGE developmental milestone that she's reached is a funny one for parents.
HER LIFE NO LONGER REVOLVES AROUND FOOD. Let me repeat, her life no longer revolves around food.
For so many months all she wanted to do, ever, was eat. It seemed like day and night she was taking bottles. She was mad- give her a bottle. She was tired- give her a bottle. She woke up at night- give her a bottle. First thing in the morning.... you get what I'm saying? Eat eat eat! But not anymore.
Now she's perfectly content to wake up in the morning and play a bit before eating. And you practically have to force her to take an afternoon bottle. And the 3am one.... yeah that's gone (knock on wood). She's finally sleeping 12 hours straight. Don't get me wrong, she was before, but always with a few pacifier plugs here and there and the occasional bottle. Now it's just sweet sleep (knock on wood again). I'm sure I'm cursing myself....
They grow up so fast.... so fast!

Tessa is crawling!!!!
She's been building up to it for weeks now, starting with a little "booty scoot" while sitting up. Then she progressed to pushing her toys while on her knees. And now she's in a full crawl. The kids think it's histerical to have her follow them around from room to room!!!
She has also started clapping, giving kisses and eating Cheerios... all in the matter of a few days. Then to top it off, I went in to get her up from her nap and she was standing there in her crib waiting for me.
Too big, too fast:(
