Misson to Catch up

I'm on a mission to catch up on my blog before Christmas. That's a WHOLE lot of pictures and posts to come.
So here we go! Tessa started rolling over September 6. That was just a little over a week after she turned 3 months. You go girl! Although to be completely honest I was hoping she'd take a LONG time to catch on. I want her to grow up as SLOWLY as possible. Anyway, here are some pictures from that day and some footage of it too!
