We have a new favorite activity to do with Tessa: bathtime. It is so much fun to fill up the big bathtub and put her in the water with me. She loves it! Her little hands grab at the water and her legs kickety-kick. Her eye-brows are always up and her mouth shaped in an "o". And she floats so well! All you have to do is have a hand under her head and the rest of her body just bobs in the water. It's awesome!
Tessa is so much bigger than Maggie at this age, so we've had to ask a friend for her seasonally appropriate 3-month clothes. Remember when Maggie got all those hand-me-downs from a friend in Boston? Now we have all sorts of new perfect teeny clothes for Tessa. Thank goodness; we'll have a chance at telling them apart in baby pictures.
Maggie and Tessa are great together. Maggie continues to be absolutely gentle with her. And has just recently started saying that she loves Tess. For her part, Tessa watches Maggie like a hawk. When Maggie talks, Tessa listens. And all those times when I'm tempted to say "Back off! Give her some space!", Tessa usually has a big smile on her face when Maggie moves away. Here's hoping they continue to be good friends!
