And she's off! We have a crawling kiddo in the house! Tess has been really close to it for days, and she's been making a lot of distance by repeating a pattern: sitting, reaching forward, splatting on her tummy, then rolling and sitting up again. But yesterday afternoon she rolled a toy away from her, screwed up her concentration, and did some bona fide crawling. Of course she was very proud of herself afterward, which was really the best part.
Also yesterday I took Tessa in for her follow-up doctor appointment. She's now 14 lbs 9 oz and a bit over 25 in long. That puts her in exactly the same percentile as before. But the important thing is she's growing, and at an apparently appropriate rate for her self. She's just a little thing. For now. And still diggin food. Last night she had nearly the same portions as me! We'll just keep on feeding her and cleaning up aaaall those dirty diapers.
