Another Ice Fishing Tale

A couple of weeks ago Barrett and Luke went ice fishing again. They had only been there a little while when Luke came out of the shelter and told Barrett that he lost he Batman fishing pole down the hole. Barrett and everyone else just assumed that he accidentally dropped his pole in the hole. Barrett hurried and drilled a bunch of holes in a row hoping to snag Luke's pole with another fishing pole, but he had no luck. So they fished the rest of the day with Barrett's pole. Luke was so sad that he lost his "very first fishing pole and it was a Batman one" (Luke's exact words.)

4 or 5 hours later they were getting ready to pack up and Barrett's brother started reeling in his line when all of a sudden he thought he got a fish. So he reeled it in and it was a fish, but it was a fish attached to Luke's Batman fishing pole! He caught Luke's pole and sure enough there was a fish attached to it. So it wasn't Luke that dropped his pole in the hole, a fish had pulled his pole in. He was so happy to have his Batman fishing pole back and it was a total bonus to catch a fish at the same time! It was a fishing miracle!

9 Months Already?!

Where has the time gone? I can't believe that Tess is already 9 months old! She hasn't had her 9 month check up yet (due to some insurance issues) so I will post her "stats" after her appointment on the 17th. This little girl has definitely changed out lives. She is such a good baby and we all love her so much. She used to be such a little mommies girl, but lately she become quite the daddies girl. Her favorite person of all is definitely Luke. She loves and adores him so much and does the same for her. They are so cute together. Lately Luke's favorite thing is to have Tessa take a bath with him and while they are in the bath Tess grabs his face and gives him kisses, so cute!

So, at nine months Tess is crawling everywhere and man is she fast! She is pretty much happy all the time. She is a great eater but much prefers table food over baby food. Her FAVORITE food are these toddler cheeto like snacks, she would eat them all day long if I let her. She does not like peas or green beans. She can even tell if I try to sneak them into other foods. She will not take a bottle for anything but loves her sippy cup. She loves to play with toys, especially if they are Luke's toys. She is such a sweet, fun, happy baby. We love you Tessa!

Her hair was starting to look quite straggly so she got the new pony on the top of her head 'do

I love how she looks at Luke and just lights up

Her favorite thing is to play in the toy room with her big brother

She pulls herself up on everything these days. She just looks so grown up!

Giving Luke a push

She is saying "da, da, da, da" at the top of her lungs. She is loud!
