Hi there! My name is Tess Aeryn! I was born at 4:12P.M. on Friday, August 9, 2002. I weighed 8lbs 8oz and I was 20 inches long! I have LOTS of brown hair (which pleases my Daddy). I also have blue eyes!

Because I wanted to stay inside Mommy longer, they had to do a c-section to take me out. It was so cold outside of her tummy that I screamed my lungs off all the way down the hallway with Daddy. You could even hear me in the waiting room!

I don't like to lay down very much. I prefer to be walked around and talked to, or held by Grandma Dode. Everyone says I have a strong neck because I like to lift my head up and see what's going on. I also don't like to sleep very much because I want to know what's happening around me. I really like to stare at people because they start talking funny to me.
