August

Lets see, what happened in August...well, Marcus decided to join the Army. He was originally planning to join either in October or January, but the job he wanted was only available starting August 18th. We found that out maybe two weeks before that...so that was pretty fast. Teresa and I were just going to stay in our apartment in Austin, since we only moved there at the end of July, but then we decided to move to Boerne and live with my parents, to save on rent. So, barely a month after moving, we got to move again. Poor Teresa has now had to move twice in her three months of life :(

Anyway, Teresa turned three months old at the end of August. I can't believe how fast she is growing and changing! She's getting very interested in her toys, and is trying to grab at them now. She's still pretty clumsy, but occasionally she can get one in her little fist. Here's her first successful attempts at getting her elephant in her mouth.





She doesn't go back to the doctor until she is four months, so we measured her at home. She's almost 26 1/2 inches long and, if my parent's scale is accurate, she weighs about 15 pounds.

Mom wanted a picture of Teresa and Ciaran together for her Christmas card...we tried to get some after church one Sunday, when they had cute matching outfits, but Teresa was not feeling too cooperative. It might have had something to do with the fact that we had ten people and countless packed boxes all crammed into out little two bedroom apartment...I think she was overwhelmed. Ciaran was great though, he had lots of smiles for the camera. Is it bad that I just love Teresa's crying face? She's so cute when she cries!

Oh my goodness, she is soooo cute! I love the pics with her elephant! I'm so excited to be in TX for 3 months and hang out with her! and everyone else...but she's just getting to such a fun age :) Also, we have that boppy! It's "Bran's" Meaning, we have that one and a pink-ish one, so obviously they EACH have their own. Hopefully they'll share with the new baby. And it's A-OK to love the crying pictures, they are pretty adorable, too! Ciaran is such a cutie! It's a shame his mother never posts on her blog! ;)

I agree. She is dang cute and so is your nephew. The crying is no less adorable to a devoted mom right.
