We're back!

We haven't blogged in ages and (obviously) a lot of things have changed. I plan on at least updating monthly with Zoe's picture and what she's up to that month (at least to help me remember these things).

1 month

Zoe is 1 month old! She is now 8 lbs. 6 oz and 21 1/2 inches long! What a big girl! She's starting to get little rolls and smiled for the first time at mommy at 4 weeks old. She loves to sleep in her bouncy seat and is not (yet) a fan of her swing. Although she hates bath time, she looks pretty darn cute in her hooded towels! She eats about every 3 hours, even at night (when she goes right back to sleep after eating!). We've had lots of visitors and Zoe loves to be held- her favorite way to be held is upright on your chest, and she pulls her little legs under her. She is a strong little girl and will throw her head around and bonk you in the face if you're not careful : ) Zoe hates being in her car seat, but we're hoping that changes soon!

Becoming a family of 3 has rocked! She has forever changed our lives and we couldn't be more thankful for this precious gift. We love her more than we could have ever imagined!

To Blog or Not to Blog...???

So... trying to think over whether or not we should keep up this blog. Neither of us write on it, does anybody still check it? If so, let us know you're out there. Maybe if you beg we'll start blogging again. And come May, we'll have plenty of things to blog about with plenty of pictures...

Updates

Just some random updates for anyone who still reads this blog!

- I think I really lost our camera, so we have no recent pictures (super cute moments with nieces/nephews that hopefully other family member captured!)

- Terry(i) is now the size of an apple

- Our December is super duper busy but it's all fun stuff! Lots of babysitting, Christmas parties, a wedding, our 2nd Anniversary, Christmas... we'll need a vacation when we're done!

- Dec. 23 is the BIG reveal day, if Terry(i) will cooperate and show us what we want to see

- Almost final time= there won't be many Mark sightings for the next few weeks. He's definitely looking forward to Christmas break!

Not much else has been happening... look for a longer post when we've got some more baby news and pictures!

Our Little Kumquat

So, our little one is now the size of a kumquat. I had no idea what this was when I read this, so I had to do some research. Apparently it's in the orange family and they're usually around 1 to 1.5 inches long. It's pretty exciting that now our little one is big enough to be compared to fruit : )
In the next week to week and a half, baby will be the size of the short side of a credit card- which is bigger than I thought! I can't believe we're already 1/4 of the way there... scary!

If you haven't already heard, Mark has affectionately given our baby the nickname Terry(i). I kept saying "it", and Mark wasn't fond of that, so he came up with Terry. According to him, it's a unisex name so it's perfect. Hopefully we don't grow so attached to calling little one Terry that we actually name our child that (no offense to anyone whose loved one is name Terry).

Things are going well in STL, we've both been super busy between work, school, and helping out with the youth at church. We were interviewed by our session last night, and Mark got approved to be the official youth and family intern at Old Orchard! (and I've been deemed Mrs. Intern). We are super excited to serve in this great church that the Lord has placed us in while we're in St. Louis!

It has been super rainy here, we've had the most rain in October since the 1800s... needless to say, Sadie is not fond of going to the bathroom outside right now. The mud is so thick it has seeped onto our sidewalk!

I promise to be better about updating about all things Robertson. Maybe even Sadie will get an updated photo shoot and she'll make the blog too (that is, if I can find our camera).

Until then...

Seriously...

I'm a TERRIBLE blogger. Maybe someday soon I'll post something interesting : )

Blog? What blog?

I guess I need to take a second to blow the dust off the blog that was once the happenings of M&M... I can't believe we haven't posted since March!!! Hopefully in the next few days a blog will follow that may contain all or none of the following information:

- pictures and an update about our trip to the DR
- a peek at our new car, Franklin
- a tribute to Billy Mays
-Mark's new job at BB&B! he sure loves his cookware : )
- a poem by Sadie

Hope you're all well (if any of you still read this!)
