Two and 1/2

A very happy un-birthday to our favorite sweetheart, Tess!
If you ask her how old she is, she doesn't hesitate to say, "Two and half!"

Tess practicing her big-sister skills.
From the amount of Balmex she's gone through, I'd say that Elmo has one mean diaper rash.
I'm not sure how to tell her that Elmo is supposed to be red.

She certainly seems grown-up for a 2 1/2 year-old. How did that happen in a mere 30 months?

Nothing that exotic, Ann. We are going to spend a few days up at Bethany Beach in Delaware. I'm hoping she loves the beach--it's all she talks about right now. When she takes her sandals off, she stretches out her toes, sighs, and says, "I a beach, Mom."

She is wise to beware of bears at church. Isaac frequently brings Glo-E to Sacrament meeting.

Bears at church are a perennial problem here in Virginia. In Utah, it was cougars. But here, you never know when you'll smack right into a bear near the church drinking fountain. . .
What a beautiful little face our Tess has--as a tiny baby and as a big 2 1/2 year old.
