I had to get another shot of Tessa's Easter dress.

Mornings at home
Where does the time go....
Well - A month and a half later and I finally make time to BLOG! The kids are huge! Koen had his ten month appt. last week and he is 25 pounds and 2.3 oz, and 30.5 inches long. The Dr. said he looks great but watch out for the high calorie table food. I thought she was referring to us, but she was talking about little Koen. :-)
Koen started crawling in the beginning of January and on March 8th, he stood on his own!! He has done it several times since then, but he thinks it is really funny and won't do it on a regular basis. I guess it will take time for him to get comfortable with his balance.
Tessa is like a new little girl. She is much happier than she was as an infant. She SMILES all the time now, and only has crying fits occasionally. Koen and Tessa really like each other, but they are too small to play together. Tessa rubs Koen's head and Koen grabs Tessa sleep sack. It is cute, though, cause thy do smile at each other often.
We brought both kids to church today and they did great. Koen slept through most of the service on Lisa's shoulder, and Tessa relaxed until she fell asleep towards the end of the service. I couldn't believe how PACKED the church was. The ushers were pulling out folding chairs so everyone had a place to sit. I thought maybe it was because there was a brass quartet or because we sang Handel's Alleluia Chorus at the end of the service, but I guess it was because it was Easter. Since Michael (our old neighbor) is the minister, it makes it that much easier to get there on Sundays.
Back to the kids... Tessa has been protesting Belly Time, but she is improving rapidly. She loves to stand on her feet now, and she is getting really strong. Lisa has gotten her to laugh out loud, which is adorable. I need to get that on video soon. Koen's favorite place is Gymboree. He gets to crawl and climb all over the place, and play with other kids his age. I wonder when he is going to start walking....
