tessa joy, 

you are the most beautiful baby in the whole world. you have really blown us away this last month. we cannot believe how fast you are learning and growing! you went from not being able to sit at all to sitting completely on your own to play. you are much happier sitting while playing. you are also quite the talker. your vocabulary sounds are developing and i swear i heard you say "mama" once. one of our favorite things to do at night is try to get you to laugh. you smile a lot, but you are one tough cookie to get to laugh. once we get you to laugh though you can't stop. i pray you will continue to laugh throughout life baby. you have such a sweet disposition and it has only gotten sweeter as you get older. especially at night when you are ready for bed. those cuddles are your mom's favorite as you fall asleep with your head on her shoulder after feeding. you had a rough last month with sleeping at night (4 month sleep regression is no joke), but when you turned 5 months it's almost as if we turned a corner. one of our favorite things is going in to get you when you wake up in the morning. those smiles and squeals of delight you give us are like none other. we love starting our morning off with your sweetness. we are so blessed to call you ours baby and we love you so much!

love, 
mom and dad
