Molly's still a little wobbly, but she loves to sit up!
Now that Molly's reached the 6 month milestone, it's like a switch has flipped inside her head as she realizes how much she can do and what her likes and dislikes are. She
LIKES standing, sitting (still a bit wobbly), toys, tummy time, books, bathes, and her
binky. Her
dislikes are few, but include not being able to see us or when we're not looking at her (she squawks to get our attention), rice cereal and waking up in the middle of the night.
Molly is curious about everything and loves to investigate with her fingers and mouth. Her most recent discovery: Daddy's glasses. She wants to be involved in everything we do whether it's cooking, talking on the phone, using the computer or exercising and she gets frustrated if we have to put her down to do something and she's no longer able to see what's going on or participate (
for example taking something out of the oven).
Molly laughs when we make funny noises or faces and tries to copy our expressions. Her newest trick: scrunching her nose, flaring her nostrils and breathing in and out of her nose as fast as she can. She cracks herself up when she does it. It's so funny! We love being parents and love our beautiful Molly so much!
Saturday March 27, 2010 our sweet Molly was sealed to us in the Jordan River Temple. Words can't describe how wonderful it was to be in the temple as a family. We are so grateful for the sealing power so that we can be a forever family.

I love this picture of Molly!
With the finalization of Molly's adoption complete, we were able to have Molly blessed yesterday at church. Shane gave her a such a sweet blessing and Molly looked absolutely beautiful in her white dress. We were so happy to have some of our family here with us. Thanks Ana and Todd & Tam for traveling to be with us this weekend!
Posing with our angel!
Molly is such a happy baby!
I get lost in those beautiful brown eyes!
We love having family visit!
One of our favorite parts of our bedtime routine is story time.
This weekend we took a road trip to Kansas City to finalize Molly's adoption. Here we are in front of the courthouse after the hearing. Everything went great and we can officially take Molly to the temple to be sealed to us!
We love road trips! One of our favorite things is to check out small town treasures that we find advertised on billboards along the way. This soft serve ice cream was a true find at a little diner touting 25 different flavors of soft serve ice cream. I got lemon and Shane chose raspberry. Yum!
Molly was a champ in her car seat for the 8 hour drive! We planned our drive so that she could get her morning and afternoon naps while we did the bulk of the driving and took breaks when she woke up so that she could stretch. She did great!
Ready for a good nights sleep in the hotels playpen!
We loved the time we got to spend with Ana while we were in town!

On our way back to Chicago we stopped at Todd and Tam's for the night. Preslee was excited to show us how she rides her new bike in the garage. Shane wanted a piece of the action!
Our Sunday shot for the week! It's so fun to have cousins!
