Texas Trip (Jan. 23 - Jan. 30)

Baby Cosette Marie was born on January 20th, 2016. To celebrate her birth, Tessa and I flew to Texas to meet her.
This was Tessa's first plane ride outside of the womb. While waiting for our first flight she fueled up on squeeze packets.

The plane was more empty than full on both of our flights from Salt Lake to L.A. and then on to San Antonio. I can't remember seeing flights that empty before. But it was awesome because we had a full row of three seats to ourselves. (We also had the rows behind and in front of us empty). Tessa took full advantage of the space and spread out.
She wasn't fussy really and her ears had no problem adjusting both on the way up and the way down for both flights. Which was nice. But even though it was nap time, she refused to sleep. She just really wanted to crawl all over the plane. It was difficult to contain her wiggles.

But we survived and made it to Crystal's house!
Grandma Imy is in heaven with her grandchildren.

Tessa reminds me of a cherub in this picture. Her chubby little legs and her eyes looking upward.

We drove down to Sarah's house on Monday. Tessa once again didn't want to nap, but she did pretty good in the car. She entertained herself by chewing on her toes.

Sisters! Love them.

Grandparents in their element.

The birthday peeps

Of course a ton of games were played.

Grandma Imy decked out all the girls in cowgirl gear.


I got to see the ocean! Well, technically it was the Gulf Coast. But close enough for me.

We went out for pizza one night. It was delish!


Tessa had no problem just jumping in and playing with the big girls. She loved it.

I love Cosette's expression

My dad and Tessa accidentally matched one day. Tessa is saying "chee" in this picture. One of her first words. I guess we take a lot of pictures. haha.

Jane's expression cracks me up in this picture.

Boot shopping...

....was very successful! (no, all those bags are not mine.)

Tessa eating off the floor. We are classy like that.

Her favorite place to scavenge.

Cosi Cosi Claw Claw (She always has one cute little finger sticking out of her jammies.)

Tessa's bear crawl

Loving the warm weather! It was hard to come back to Narnia.

I really wish this picture wasn't so grainy and blurry. I love how Tessa is feeling the music and dancing.
