First Camping Trip - May 7th & 8th 2010

We took the family camping to Goblin Valley on May 7th. It was a little cold on Friday night (45 degrees), but we all bundled up and had a great time. Tessa was just as happy camping as if we were at home in our own beds.

Tessa was quite content hanging out with mom as we hiked around for the day.

I was a little nervous taking a 6 week old camping, especially with the cold night, but Tessa was happy as can be all weekend.

ONE MONTH

Some things we've learned about Tessa in one month:

She's a smiler. Love it

She likes to be held.

She started out throwing up a LOT. She's gotten better, but is still a spitter.

She doesn't like to just lie down on the floor.
