This is Tessa in her new coat and forward facing.  

Addendum:  Nate wrote this post this morning (hence the very few words!)

Anyways, I was planning to leave Tessa rear-facing for an extended period of time, but the stupid glaring sun reflecting off the snow was making her scream in agony.  I even got one of those sunshades that spans my entire rear window.  No luck...still screams.  She is much happier now, and I love looking back at her.  As soon as she sees my face, she gets this sweet little grin across her.  So cute!

Tessa has had a bit of a rough week.  She's gotten two new teeth, a shot...and a stuffy nose to go with both.  Poor thing.  She has not had much of an appetite.  Her diet has consisted of crackers and milk for a few days now.  Hopefully she returns to normal soon.
