Tressa`s Baptism

I have been really bad keeping this blog up to date. So Tressa`s baptism is a good place to start catching up. Tressa was feeling under the weather, but was so good. It was like she was really listening to everything that was being said. After the service, we had a great time with our family at Liz and Kass`place. It really was a great weekend.

6 Months Old

Tressa turned 6 months last Saturday, it has been a great 6 months! I hope the next 6 don't pass as quickly.

Tressa loves her yoga and especially swimming. Her teeth...or gums were chattering but she still had the biggest smile on her face. She was exhausted when we got home.
At her 6 month appointment her doctor said no more night feedings so we are letting her sleep(?) through the night. It is an adjustment for all but they tell me it will be worth it.

Tressa is sitting with confidence now and is happy as can be!

Love the outfit...excuse the spit-up

I'm sitting!

What am I doing in here?

Swimming is hard work.

Finally...More pictures of me!

She's back and cute as ever - am I bragging?? It is a good thing she is so cute becuase she is keeping me up all night. I thought we turned a corner when she was sleeping from 10 until 5 am, but she was just teasing!! We are still getting up at 3 and 5...

Tressa is a pretty happy girl though, she is sitting up (sort of) and teething (we think). This week she starts swimming and yoga. Hopefully I'll have some pictures of that to share.

Back to School

Ryan, Tressa and I had another fun week, wih a few firsts. Tessa has graduated to the highchair - she's still a little small in there but she'll grow into it! She also experienced her first Goldeyes game. She was great, her eyes were as big as saucers, taking it all in. Mom and Dad have also been busy. Although September did not mean back to work for me, it does mean back to school as I continue on with my masters program. Ryan is hard at work and busy commuting to Portage each day, and of course, every day is an adventure with Tressa!

Love the Goldeyes!

I have the nicest hand-me-downs!!

Happy Labour Day Weekend

What a week we have had. Ryan and I attended a wedding in the city while Grandma Sherritt babysat, then it was off to St. Ambroise for Tressa`s first camping adventure with the Quinn, Pettinger, Guy, Shindle, and Chapallaz Families. She loved it!! The fresh air was great and the waves put her to sleep. Next year we are going to have to spend the night. It was back to reality when we got home. As you can see, Ryan had to tend to his chores...with a little help from Tressa.

What!?! !I'm 5 Months Today??!

It is hard to believe that 5 months have passed since we have been blessed with Tressa. So many things have happend in the last 5 months. She loves her Exersaucer and her Jolly Jumper, she loves music and is so bright and aware. It seems like only yesterday she was getting up 4 times a night...oh wait, that was yesterday!

Bath Time

Who says I don't sleep??

It has been a long time since I have had a chance to write, and a lot has happened in the last few weeks. We were in Kenora for Tressa's first formal wedding. Our friends Mike and Renee were married and it was so nice of them to be so kid friendly. Tressa was very well behaved as a thank you! We also celebrated Great-grandpa Matthews' 90th birthday and had a visit from cousin Neil from out east, the first Quinn to meet the newest edition. Our friend Shane also came for a visit from Pensacola. We are still lacking in sleep, but we are getting by!

My First Wedding

Happy

Birthday
