Girlie Girl!

Our little Tessa is turning into such a "girlie" girl!!! She growing up more and more everyday. Her favorite things to do are to sing, dance, and talk! (I promise I did not teach her this, even though DJ blames me for most of it :) Her favorite singer at the moment is Lady Gaga... she goes crazy when she comes on the radio. She runs right over to the radio and turns it up and begins to dance. (We didn't even really know who Lady Gaga was until Tessa became this huge fan when we got back from Japan last year!) She has also discovered a passion for accessories. She loves to wear her necklaces and bracelets, carrying a purse, and of course can never leave home without her sunglasses :) She just loves all of it. And to tell you the truth it is so darn cute that you can't help but smile when you see her "girlie" girl attitude come out!

Here she is stealing Daddy's sunglasses and laughing the entire time.
She thought she was so clever when she found DJ's sunglasses on the chair. When no one was looking she snuck over and grabbed his glasses. She couldn't wait to show off her cool shades :)






The more sunglasses the better...




Here she came walking into my room with her toy's glasses on. She thought she was so funny :)






Since she has really started to like putting things in a purse, zipping a purse, and carrying a purse, we decided it was time to go find her a purse of her own so I didn't have to keep looking for my misplaced purse and all the things inside it. We actually looked all over for a little purse for her and had a hard time finding one. We ended up finding one at the Roxy store of all places. It is a perfect fit and Tessa thinks she is the coolest girl ever. She got to pick it out and go with Daddy to pay for it at the counter. She had the biggest smile on her face when she got to walk out of the store with her new purse. (DJ just had that look on his face saying "Oh God is it already starting?")






She even carried it on our walk to the beach!!!






Another new favorite thing she likes to do is to take pictures. She even goes and gets me my camera and says "cheeseies mama, cheeseies". And if she can't find my camera she will hold up the iphone or itouch (because she knows there are pictures on there) above her head and act like she is taking her own picture! She even has different faces for her pictures :)

Her show off face. She opens her mouth and holds her breath and gets really excited.



Her "kissie" face.




And she has the girl head tilt thing going on already :)



She really is too much! Her personality is definitely forming and it cracks us up. She can be so silly sometimes and she knows that she is. Here she is getting ready to go for our walk. I told her to grab a snack and her water and come meet me at the door to put her shoes on. This is what met me at the door...




I can't believe how much fun it is to be a parent. These are the little things that make you forget about all the bad stuff :)

Thanks Tessa Girl!!!
