Tessa @ One Year Old

Here is Tessa after her birthday party last month, with all of her fun presents.

She had her one-year-old check-up today. I thought I should share the stats:
weight: 24 lbs. 4 oz. (without diaper) - 90%
height: 31 1/2 inches - 100%

So she is still growing strong!

And strong minded! And strong willed! She is climbing on everything, tackling her siblings and dad, and flirting with old men at restaurants (I'm going to have to watch this one closely when she gets a little older) coming up with new stuff every day.

She says:
Ball (all the time)
Bottle (sounds a lot like Ball)
Bye ("")
Dad
Hi
Mom
*barks like a dog*

She signs:
nurse/milk
I want
more
bye

And she has gone from hating anything on her feet to having a major shoe fettish, fueled by these adorable purple ones given her by her aunts for her birthday. She always wants them on and proceeds to tap dance around.

Even if she isn't wearing anything else!

Stella said...: Oh my goodness, she is absolutely adorable. I love those purple shoes! What were her Aunts thinking? She is way too young to have a shoe fetish.; 3:34 PM
Kameron said...: She looks like Barry in that last photo.

And get your mom to make more of those tutus, please! (Is it wrong to want one for me??); 12:21 PM
Stella said...: Kendra, Jens just had his 2yr. check up. This just makes me laugh! He is 25lbs (10%), and 36" (75%). How do you get her to eat? Jens is very picky, but just as the doctor said, he has a very adult palette. He eats pickled beets, craisins, and black olives. Don't ask...; 10:28 PM

Meet the Haltermans

2011 finds us as a family of six and as busy and crazy as ever. Barry continues working at Clear Creek Associates, which we consider to be a tremendous blessing, given the current state of the economy. Barry is serving in the Stake Young Men's Presidency, and I am in the ward Primary Presidency at church. Besides being busy with a new baby and his brother and sisters, I am teaching Let's Play Music Classes, and blogging about my creative endeavors at meandmyinsanity.blogspot.com. Kira (9) is enjoying drama club this year. She has read more books thank I probably have in my life. She's learning the keyboard quickly in music class. She was asked to give a speech at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new building at her school. Trenton (6) is adjusting to 1st grade and homework. He has suddenly become an excellent reader. He has a gift for music, but not a gift for following directions. *sigh* He still plans on being a scientist and is full of all the imagination and energy that a 6 year old can have. Tessa (3) has recently taken up hairstyling. She is responsible for the short hair do she is sporting now. She loves preschool, dance class, and attending music class (even though she isn't old enough). She's a little computer addict and will play Dora all day, if we let her. She's quite the artist on paper and on walls. She likes to write "T's" for Tessa on everything. She is a sweet big sister to Alec. Alec (8 mos.) is a mover and a shaker! He is exhibiting the same determination as his siblings in learning to get around. He is really a delightful baby! My only complaint is that sleeping is at the bottom of his priority list. He loves people and makes friends wherever we go.
