Tessa – 4 Months

Tessa is 5 months old today and I am just now posting a 4 month update. Oh well. We were shocked at her 4 month appointment that she was 97% for height, 90% for head and 90% for weight. HOLY COW! I expected her to be tall but she was way further along than we anticipated.

My mom mentioned that she thought she was going to be taller than Isaac, so I went back to Isaac’s measurements to compare. Turns out at the same appointment (4 months), Isaac was only .6 ounces more than Tessa. AND Tessa is actually a half inch longer than Isaac was and her head is a quarter of a inch bigger. I had no idea.

I am so sick of rotating clothing sizes that I will be happy when she slows down. She moved into 6-9 month clothes two weeks ago and I remember very clearly that Isaac was only in 6-9 month clothes for a month and a half. My estimates bring us changing clothing sizes again mid-June. Crazy! It is also sad to me because we have inherited some really cute summer clothes in the 6-9 month range. So if you see Tessa in strappy dresses the first of June you will know why – I’m racing to keep up with the cuteness!

And this post wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t write about how absolutely sweet and genuinely happy Tessa is. She smiles ALL. THE. TIME. The only time she is not smiling is when she is ready to eat. She even wakes up with huge smiles and giggles each morning. I seriously am trying to figure out how two high strung individuals end up with such a jovial and excited baby. All I can figure out is prayer. Lots and lots of prayers that she would be a good baby.
