3 Minutes of Tummy Time
I recently had a friend in town armed with a video camera for a job we were doing together this past weekend-- and so while he was here and had a chance to meet the family, Cole and I asked him to pretty please make a quick video so we could remember Tessa at this wiggly age. She is almost 4 months and has been teething and drooling and being all around adorable. Tessa was sure to let all of us know when she was sick of being filmed with her signature scream/cry. Notice the subtle differences in how Cole and I approach the constant drooling going on. Cole takes more of a hands on approach than I do. So yeah here is 3 minutes of Tummy Time and to make it even sweeter I was given the go ahead by our friends Rabbit to use an unreleased song that will be coming out on their new album "Connect The Dots." We have been playing their new album to The Tangerine for the last few weeks in the car and it has kept her from having any "I'm trapped in a car in my stupid car seat" freak outs.

Aw, she holds her head up so well for such a young age! I love the video, very adorable. You guys are so blessed.
I can't tell you how wonderful this was! So great to see to see your beautiful little drool-er in action! She is just so great!
Holy drool she's cute! Loved this, thanks for sharing!

SO AMAZINGLY CUTE! shes so chubby and wonderful! and that song, is brilliant :)
&& the beard has been tamed!
great post :)
This is such a great video - perfect music, too! I couldn't help falling in love with your little Drool Monster! :)
So sweet!
She is so so sweet! And soooo beautiful! :)
Oh man, I love that cry at the end. The-world's-falling-apart kinda cry.
Those pictures are ridiculous! Start having more babies!!
(Totally joking. Kinda.)
so cute and holding her head up really well! my baby girl loved watching tessa and even screamed a few times at her :)
That kid's got awesome hair. I miss her little baby mohawk, though, haha.
OMG the last part with you shielding your face made me LAUGH...how many things have I DONE at the expense of a good picture...or (even better) a good laugh.
She is adorable....loved the video...loved the song...loved it all.
Aww! So gorgeous, Tessa totally just made my milk come in, ha ha.
I am a little jealous that she has kept her thick back hair. My daughter was born with hair just like that but hers is falling out now :(
she is so freakin cute!
LOVE those chubby arms and legs. She's precious.
She's so wonderful! It almost makes me wish for baby #3... almost!
Thanks for sharing!
oh man. what a cutie. nicely done. photos and vid.
The chunky! I just want to squeeze them and kiss them.
I wish we had more videos of our son when he was so teeny.
Thanks for sharing the cuteness.
So so beautiful! What a great video.
I just want to eat her up...nom nom nom
The video is perfect and your cameo at the end was great :)
Great song. I'm tapping my toes right now.
She will LOVE this when she's older. Awesome camera work. And I can't get enough of the song. And baby.
What a mop of hair and drool. Awesome, Ryan.
i just played this little video to my baby and she loved it :) beautiful xx
My sons both had hair like hers. Except as boys they just looked like girls. Your daughter just looks BEAUTIFUL.
Loving the song. Tessa is so sweet! And such patience - my kids never lasted that long on their tummies at that age. I loved how she kind of dissed the stuffed animals, but had a big grin for the cool robot. She still looks a lot like you, but I totally see Cole's mom in her too.
Love the video!
Yeah, they always let you know when enough is enough!
How is LB handling being a big brother?
I can't believe she's holding her head up so well!!!!!! What a beautiful precious strong baby girl you've got there!!! =)
That was just gorgeous!
She was very polite to the rabbit!
Thanks for sharing:)
a freakin-dorable Ryan. You sure do make a cute kid. Thank you for sharing!
Oh my gosh!! that's an awesome video, i was the whole time like "awwww" "ahhhh" "hahaha" "awwwwww" then the end was so funny!
Tessa is gorgeous! her eyes!
How's LB??
Love the video! You have such a beautiful girl.
She's so cute it's ridiculous.
thanks for asking about LB. he is great. we are getting ready to head out for his scary scary halloween shoot this year. it will be hard to top last years image.
Ha! Your face at the end. Priceless. The song's really sweet, too. What a lovely little memento.
So sweet. Thanks for sharing your beautiful memories with the world. Love that song!
What a great video! Tessa is beautiful. :-) Thanks for sharing your lives with us!
So cute! She loves the camera. :)
Aw, so adorable!
Hey where's LB, we miss him!
Nice one man,
Ange :o)
I love the Rabbit song, LOVE IT!
The Tangerine is totally adorable. :)
Glad to hear you guys are doing well!!!
That video rocks! My, what cool kids you have x
This is my favorite post of yours so far. Drooly tummy time seems like it was just precious.
adorable!!! love the drool...bet Cole will eat things she spits back out too...i have seen mama's do things like that...guess if you birthed em, anything that comes out is basically all you anyway, right? my brother is having his second TODAY!! wheeeee
OH my GOD I LOVE her!! how flipping adorable is she? SHe's all sorts of dying to crawl! Julianna crawled at around that same age months- being raised in a hispanic home, tummy time=all the time. She hates (even now) to sleep on her back- she's forever on her tummy.
I can't believe how big she is getting...4 months! Wow...time is flying
Rabbit's song was perfect for this!
Hope you all are doing well.
Peace~Rene
Melt. Swoon. Die. Repeat.
That was brilliant! And I love how Cole used her hand to wipe Tessa's mouth, and then you had the towel. ADORABLE!
That is just adorable!!!!!
Look at her hair and the chubbiness and the inquisitive little eyes! Oh and the cry! What a sweetheart.
Hello.
Tessa is so cute, and already holds her head for a while.
By the way, could you tell me what is the name of the song in the video?
Thanks
@ Quicas- Sure thing. It is called "Now That I Found You" by the band "Rabbit"
I am not sure when the album comes out. Soon. I think :)
She has very beautiful eyes! And the quality of that video is amazing.
Strong little girl! Just precious...love the music with the video.
OOHH NOW YOU YOU DID IT! You do know that you're going to have to keep posting videos dont you?
How flippin cute is she?!! I mis those baby rolls and dimples in their hands. I even miss the drool.
I love how Cole just uses her hand and I'm sure she just wiped it on her pants and kept going like it was nothing! LOL. Yup a total mom thing to do :)
My goodness, get that girl something to chew on, besides her hand! And the way she's rocking around it looks like crawling is next on her list. Hope you're ready!
Awh she is too perfect!
long time, no see! glad you're back. girl is adorable. how is LB doing?
aw, at the end, you both make the same sad face. :( but :)
Haha, wiggley! You should make her some terry cloth arm guards so you don't have to wipe her so much. She'd look silly, but hey, necessity is the mother of invention.
I seriously just want to reach through the screen and pinch her chubby legs. Adorable! The song fits this very well :)
Also I forgot to say, totally digging the Donald Trump hairstyle in the pictures, haha!
She is so strong and so beautiful! And it was so cool to see her in action. And when you like, tried to hide your laugh, PRICELESS. I do that with babies all the time, lol.
Really wonderful video and the perfect song to go with it. I bet the shifting family dynamics is hard work but looks like she makes it worth your while. She's a keeper.
GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS
ps - awesome song, too.
beautiful girl and good song always steal my heart :)
God bless all four of you and keep you always close together!
She is completely adorable! Her eyes... beautiful!
The song is so sweet...
So much drool...who knew?!? She is absolutely adorable and I love the video...very cute!
holy sugary sweetness! I wish i was that content to wiggle on my tummy for 3 minutes straight :)

Adorable Ryan! She's growing so fast. Love to your whole family!

I showed the video to my drool monster...she stopped crying and grinned through the whole thing. Cute song! And really cute baby! :)

Today's my last day of maternity leave and I've been in a sad mood. This made me smile. I think I'll run and do some video of Will. As always, so inspiring and fun.
She's just such a beautiful little blessing.

Ah-dorable!! Love her blue eyes/dark hair combo. She's becoming a little chunker :)
What an adoarble baby, she hold her self very well for that age. Most babies hate being in their tummys!!Good for her.
yay! you're back!!!
She is gorgeous!!!
My uterus is doing flip flops- despite all the drooling.... ;o)
Awww, she is getting so big! Very cute video, love the wiping of the drool. Thanks for sharing.
She looks so much like you, it's scary. (not OMG scary, just eerie how much she looks like you)
AWHH!! Look at those wiggless!!
good stuff.
we need to get the babies together so they can scream and drool at each other.
luv to all ya!
Been reading for awhile, loving your gorgeous family through pregnancy and beyond! Tessa's name rocks. But what finally made me leave something on the graffiti wall is this: when 3 minutes of someone else's kid doing tummy time is that adorable, you deserve big props! Tessa couldn't be more gorgeous - edible even. Thanks for sharing. And the song makes me want the whole album. Please let your friends know.
She is so cute! I almost feel bad that I laugh when she started to cry in that video, but it was so cute!
yay! and the tangerine moves... to cool music, no less! and you are cole are actual moving people!?! weird! i found myself LOVING the song really quickly... not something I often do during a first listen. Must explore them! I've noticed the button on your blog before, and now I have a reason to go click it!
thanks for sharing. i've missed your updates! does that make me pathetic, or you guys awesome? I think it makes us ALL awesome. Clearly.
Ditto what everyone said. She's beyond precious and adorable, and wonderful pictures and video.
I absolutely enjoyed this video!
leel, I prefer to think that they're awesome ;))), we ALL are :)
BTW I can't stop listening to this song, it's really really great!
that first look is so intense . . . PS - Ryan, we bought our first pair of Fuzzi Bunz on Wed (3 months prior to birth)
That is your clone, but female. BTW, who are the female vocals on that track? I love it, so pure and clean.
OMG, you have the CUTEST kids! Tessa is so chubby, and happy, and I just want to squeeze her. Love the cameo shot of dad at the end ;0)
That Rabbit song might be my new all time favorite, too!
I love that you not only wipe her mouth with the cloth, you go the extra mile and try and soak up the drool on the carpet.
Dads: Take note: Ryan is making you all look bad.
oh my god she is beautiful!
the single most cutest thing I've seen- drool and all!
The song is amazing. Who sings it?
Awww. That made me all teary. I miss you guys!
LOL this was so adorable i don't even know what to say! The song couldn't have been more perfect and I just remember when my little guy was so tiny and immobile. Time flies!
