4 months
Baby Tess is 4 months old. She is quite entertaining with her big fat grins, baby squeals, and bubble blowing. Note the slobber on her shirt. Yep, my girl is a drooler. She also likes to hear herself blow raspberries, which doesn't help the dryness factor.
She loves to kick her feet.
Now she smiles and coos and gurgles and laughs, at everybody.
My tiny girl is 11 pounds 11 ounces. Not quite a pound per month since her last check up. Supposedly, babies should double their birth weight by 6 months. That means, she's got some growing to do. She's up to 24 inches tall, which is still too short for some of her sleepers. 
We're still working on belly rolls. She's not too keen on tummy time and usually gets ticked off before she's even tried to roll over. She did manage to roll off the couch though. I think she'd rather skip the rolling and go straight to sitting up. She's getting quite adept at stomach crunches when she is propped up.
And unfortunately, she seems to be losing interest in her thumb. Which kind of sucks, because she's not all that into her pacifier either. Needless to say, she's been staying up late with Mommy since Mommy can't stand to hear her cry in her crib. If this is my last chance to snuggle one of my babes, I'm going to milk it for all it's worth.

Cookie baking
The annual Christmas cookie bake took place over the weekend. 
It was way too exciting for Grandpa.
I think the kids had a pretty good time. And while some of the cookies may be a bit over decorated, the rest should be edible. Now where was that armless, legless Teddy bear...........

Xmas lights
Krista and I took Dad and the little peeps to Woodland nights on Monday evening. Tess stayed home with Daddy since it was freezing a wee bit chilly.
It was a walk through display with lighted trails.
There were lights galore.
Gingerbread houses
and stadiums
Even Santa was there. (Although some of the little peeps were too cool or too shy to talk to the jolly old elf)
They all enjoyed the cut out photo ops though.
