Meeting Tessa

When we arrived at Gram's & Krampa's last night, the kids were so excited to meet their cousin Tessa!  They'd been playing outside all afternoon though, so they had to have showers first before I would let them hold her.  By that time, she was hungry and tired, and mostly wanting her mommy.  Still they were so happy to hold her, even squirming and fussing, just for a second each.

Today, they wanted to hold her again when she was happier, so we could take more pictures.  There was careful arranging, and pacifier placing, and 3 cameras flashing.

It's a strange feeling for me, to see Annah with her baby cousins, acting more as a caregiver than a kid.  She understands how fragile babies are though.  It's so sweet.

Sylvia and Tessa both wore yellow today.

We were all surprised how Caeden seemed to be the most excited to hold Tessa.  Then I realized, she is the first baby he's actually held!  He is getting bigger too--not a baby anymore. 

So glad we finally got to meet our baby cousin Tessa!
