Bryce Canyon

A few weekends ago we took Tessa to Bryce Canyon. We decided that it would be nicer to take her while she was still a bit lighter so she'd be easier to carry. We did several hikes and had a lot of fun. We took a bunch of pictures so it was hard to narrow down just a few to show on the blog so here is a ton of pictures.

Tessa had a really good time. I think her favorite hike was the popular one we went on as we passed lots of people on the trail and she loves interacting with others. She would do her normal stare and smile at everyone until they smiled back at her and told her and us how cute she is. It was funny; we probably had atleast 20 people tell us what a cute and happy baby we had. We'll have to do stuff like this more as I think she had a really good time and David and I did too.

Wanting to Walk

After trying to crawl for the last 3 and a half months or so, I think Tessa has decided it's just not happening - time to move on to plan B and just start working on walking. :P

She loves to stand and practice walking while holding on to our fingers. If we try to put her on her hands and knees to practice crawling, and she's in the mood to walk (which she often is), she'll get pretty upset. It's pretty cute how excited she's gotten about trying to walk but we're definitely still working on crawling with her as we don't want her to skip the milestone. Our girly is growing up fast!

My Gummy Girly

At 7 months Tessa still has absolutely no teeth and I don't mind. It means I can keep letting her get away with chewing on cords -

- which she loves!

She's so close!

Tessa is so ready to crawl already. She's been trying to since she was 3 and half months and now she is super close.

Here she is rocking. She spends a good amount of time on all fours now. We usually have to put her up on her knees; she doesn't get up on her own without help but she's rocking!
