Someone is a year old...

Tess had her birthday party the weekend before she actually turned 1. We did a Ladybug theme and my mom helped me make her cute little shirt.








A lot of family was able to come, we didnt get a picture of everyone but here are a couple of family members.




Tess was a little apprehensive at first and then she started seeing some familar faces and loosened up. She walked on her own the day before her party so it was cool that everyone got to see her walk.

She had a lot of presents to open but since she gets caught up in the paper and boxes we thought it was better to open them and then show her was she got. We have yet to open and play with all the toys, thats how many we had.

At the time of her party Tess was not so sure about sweeties. I had to get her jump started and feed her some cake. She kind of fiddled with the cake but really just picked at it and then was done. She will eventually learn how good cake is.

                   

12 Months 

On Tess's actual birthday we took her to Chili's for dinner and dessert. She does like ice cream, which made her daddy very happy.

 

 

Warren, Tess's boyfriend at daycare stopped coming because his dad was transferred out of country and his mom was going to stay home with him. This is the last photo of the two of them. She did pretty good, it was like he was never around.
 

While Tess was at my parents one weekend she tried to escape from her makeshift inclosure. This seemed like the best option.










Tess loves the iPad, the only problem is that she hits buttons that she shouldn't hit and then gets mad. But other than that she loves playing and watching and sometimes just holding it.

We were at Rudy's one night and she started playing peekaboo... and I had to get it on video.
