Teresa turned 8 months this past week. She is growing well, eating new foods eagerly, and has finally learned to roll from her back to her tummy. She is pretty stable when sitting up even with a loving brother jostling her around. She likes music and singing and loves to play Row, row, row your boat. Recently she has started to 'dance' when she hears music...dance in the sense of bobbing her head up and down. She still wants to get her hands on everything and continues to enjoy pinching faces and pulling hair when given the opportunity. She has plenty of smiles to share with everyone and especially mommy, daddy and Timothy.
Timothy, as usual, had to get in on the photo shoot. This time he wanted to show off his bear too!
We recently returned from a trip to the cities to visit my parents. Troy had a conference to attend, so my mom and I took the kids to the Children's Museum on one of the days. Teresa spent most of her time in the stroller, but I did give her a view minutes to explore the 'Habitot' area.
Timothy offers a big grin in the lego exhibit.

A favorite activity at Grandma's is spinning in her computer chair.
Play time with Grandma Rebecca.
Another favorite activity...stories with Grandma Rebecca. Timothy chose the location on the stairs. Grandma is so nice to grant his requests!
We had a fun few days and are thankful to live within driving distance of our families!
Teresa napped during the egg dying, but I let her see the egg with her name on it. After rolling it on her highchair a bit, it went straight to her mouth like everything else!
Easter morning was a beautiful day. (We were due some nice weather after getting snow a week or so ago!) I was happy Teresa could wear her fancy Easter dress. It was a hand-me-down from friends and I love it. And Timothy so kindly agreed to wear his vest to church. (It came off three minutes after our arrival at home.
We did a little egg hunt after nap time. That way Troy and his mom were able to be there with us. Timothy was quite excited about his treats...especially his suckers. Being the sweet boy he is, however, he wanted to share his suckers with everyone. (Maybe we are doing something right in raising him!??!)
Teresa just woke up from nap and was still pretty sleepy when Timothy and Grandma Judy were helping her with her eggs.
This week we have had some pretty nice weather, so we finally could play outside. Teresa is trying out the swing and big brother tries out his new role as the pusher.
Grandpa Ken and Grandma Rebecca visited for a few days this week. One afternoon we had quite a game of baseball going.
Timothy got an airplane kite from Grandma Rebecca. He had fun running and 'flying' his kite.
