Are you ready?

Because this post is going to have A LOT of pictures. We just got back from Baytown and Katy, where we were visiting Marc's side of the family. Teresa is so lucky to have all her grandparents and so many cousins close by! She had a ball visiting everyone. She and her little cousin were so cute together, they're the main reason for all the pictures. It's just hard to put the camera away when there are two cute babies around!

Here she is with Olivia:



They both just loved this toy so much. Actually, they both really loved whatever toy the other was holding. There was quite the showdown over the tube of A&D diaper cream one night. They kept stealing it from each other. Too cute.





They did manage to figure out how to share the measuring tape...






Poor T, this is possibly one of her worst pictures. It made me laugh ;)



Her new thing is to flap her arms up and down when she's happy or excited. That's why they're blurry in the second picture. She just really loved her cousin, she would crawl over to him and flap her little arms with a big smile on her face.





She loved this Tigger toy. He bounces up and down, and he actually got a few giggles out of her. She was cute, I would start him up, and as soon as she heard him she would smile and kind of brace herself for the bouncing to start.



The babies with T's Aunt Melissa. Kinda hard to get them both to smile at once...



Melissa made Tressa this cute little pillowcase dress for St. Patrick's Day. Here she is standing in front of Gigi's St. Patrick's Day tree.



With Gigi and Poppie, and her Great-Granny:





Teresa turned nine months old on March 1st, I guess it was, since February is without a 29th. She had her nine month appointment last week while we were in Austin. I wanted to take her in because of all of her weird hives/skin issues, so we went ahead and made it her nine month check up, even though it was nine days early...the doctor wasn't too concerned about her little allergic reaction, he just thought she might have really sensitive skin, since she's also been having dryness issues. She's down to the 25th percentile for weight, so we're working on fattening her up a bit. She's still tall, and did awesome with her shots.

She got her third tooth this week, one of her upper ones. (Hmmm, she got her bottom two when we were in Baytown over the holidays, maybe there's something in the water...). She had a really rough night Saturday night, so I wasn't too surprised Sunday morning to find that a new little (sharp!) tooth was working its way down. Her teething was accompanied by a little diaper rash, so Gigi pulled out some cloth diapers hoping those would help heal it faster. They did, plus I thought they were cute on:



We are so excited for it to finally be March! Marcus graduates from AIT in 24 days! After over seven months of training we are ready for him to be done. We're still waiting to hear where we will be going after AIT. Right now it's pretty likely that we'll end up in Florida for another five months of training, but we're still waiting to hear the final word on that. I guess we'll find out sometime between now and the 26th...

I'm glad T & J had so much fun! They look really cute in all their pics. I think you should all come out to FL (once it decides to warm up) and we'll go to the beach!

Love, Love, Love all the pictures!
I think my favorite one is the first picture of the two of them together. Could his eyes be any bigger? And now you know why we call him "Bugsy".

They really did have a good time playing. We had so much fun with you guys here. PLEASE come back again!!

Oh my goodness, they are sooo adorable together!! Yeah, he does have such big eyes -- what a cutie! I love the measuring tape pic. And pretty much all of them. Melissa is so talented, making all the cute stuff she does! I think I've said it before, but that only makes it truer, right? ;)

Please tell little T to stop biting me when I'm trying to fish stuff out of her mouth. That's dangerous enough business with only the two teeth, but now with THREE...yikes...
